I think you need to set up Apache to serve the static and media files.
Here is how mine works ...

# lock the public out
<Directory /var/www/my_proj/>
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Deny from all
</Directory>

# serve uploaded media from here
<Directory /var/www/media/my_proj/>
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>

# serve static stuff from here
<Directory /var/www/static/my_proj/>
AllowOverride None
Order deny,allow
Allow from all
</Directory>

<IfModule mod_alias.c>
Alias /media/ /var/www/media/my_proj/
Alias /static/ /var/www/static/my_proj/
Alias /tiny_mce/ /var/www/static/my_proj/js/tiny_mce/
Alias /jquery/ /var/www/static/my_proj/js/jquery/
</IfModule>

Then in your template you can use {{ STATIC_URL }}/whatever

Hope this helps
