Hi Gordon,

During cvs, my files were downloaded to /usr/local/www/data/vexim3/
so I have put the following:
MEDIA_ROOT = '/usr/local/www/data/vexim3/vexim/
MEDIA_URL = 'http://212.22.160.35/vexim3'
ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX = '/vexim/'

After that I run: python vexim3/vexim/manage.py runserver 212.22.160.35:8888
Then I browse to http://212.22.160.35:8888/admin/
