title: Why does altering STATIC_URL in Django disrupt ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX
body: <p>Trying to gain some high level clarity on how Django serves (admin) static files.</p>
  
  <p>When altering the <strong>STATIC_URL</strong> setting in Django's settings.py to a new location (I'm serving images from a 3rd party server) it seems to disrupt <strong>ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX</strong> and thus stop the Admin media (css, images, js) from being served.</p>
  
  <p>Why does this happen?  I though <strong>STATIC_URL</strong> and <strong>ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX</strong> should pertain to different parts of the application and not influence eachother.</p>
