How to serve Django static file on nginx

I am trying to configure Nginx with uWSGI to serve Django app but the layout of admin panel is distorted totally...

Here is my Nginx configuration:

upstream django {
    server 127.0.0.1:8000;
    }

server {
    # the port your site will be served on
    listen      4321;
    # the domain name it will serve for
    server_name localhost;
    charset     utf-8;
    access_log /var/log/nginx/local-access.log;
    error_log /var/log/nginx/local-error.log;

    client_max_body_size 75M; 

    location /static/admin {

    alias /usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/contrib/admin/static/admin/;
    }

    location / {
    uwsgi_pass  django;
    include     /etc/nginx/uwsgi_params;
    }

}

here is the Nginx error: 2013/05/13 18:13:26 [error] 12491#0: *255 open() "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/contrib/admin/static/admin/js/ddsmoothmenu.js" failed (2: No such file or directory)

access logs:

[pid: 6848|app: 0|req: 8/13] 127.0.0.1 () {42 vars in 773 bytes} [Tue May 14 12:59:30 2013] GET /admin/ => generated 1960 bytes in 995 msecs (HTTP/1.1 200) 7 headers in 438 bytes (1 switches on core 0)
[pid: 6847|app: 0|req: 3/14] 127.0.0.1 () {44 vars in 858 bytes} [Tue May 14 12:59:32 2013] GET /admin/brightCouponsApp/static/admin/css/login.css => generated 0 bytes in 28 msecs (HTTP/1.1 500) 1 headers in 78 bytes (1 switches on core 0)

The static files which belongs to my Django App are working fine but Django admin layout is not can some one help me out...

Check out the collectstatic command instead of serving files from your site-packages directory. The management command will basically copy static files from all your apps into STATIC_ROOT.
