Title Body

I'm running Python 2.6.1 and Django 1.2.1 on Windows XP SP3. I'm using JetBrains PyCharm 1.0 to create and deploy my Django apps. I'm relatively inexperienced with Python, and I'm starting to learn Django by following along with "Writing Your First Django App" from the web site - the poll application. I'm stuck on part 3 . Everything is fine when I add the simple callback functions for "Writing your first view". I hit the snag when I get to "Write views that actually do something." I followed the instructions to modify the index view: Add a new method to views.py (Note - template is ready from 'polls/index.html'): Add index.html template to site-templates/polls/ folder Modify settings.py to point to site-templates folder Here's the code in my views.py: from django.template import Context, loader from polls.models import Poll from django.http import HttpResponse def index(request): latest_poll_list = Poll.objects.all().order_by('-pub_date')[:5] t = loader.get_template('polls/index.html') c = Context({ 'latest_poll_list': latest_poll_list, }) return HttpResponse(t.render(c)) Here's the line in my settings.py: TEMPLATE_DIRS = ('/site-templates/') But still I get this message when I run: TemplateDoesNotExist at /polls/ polls/index.html Request Method: GET Request URL: http://localhost:8000/polls/ Django Version: 1.2.1 Exception Type: TemplateDoesNotExist Exception Value: polls/index.html The exception is thrown in loader.py. My debug settings look like this: TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS ('django.core.context_processors.auth', 'django.core.context_processors.request') TEMPLATE_DEBUG True TEMPLATE_DIRS ('/site-templates',
