title: Django Tutorial - TemplateDoesNotExist at /polls/
body: <p>I have tried to get this to work a million times. I have lef it alone for a week and come back. I have Googled and read every post pertaining to this. I have let insecure morons belittle in messages groups without ever finding the answer. I just want this to work. When I am following along in part three of the the Django tutorial, I get to the part where you make the template for the index page, and when I go to check it in the browser, it comes up with <code>TemplateDoesNotExist at /polls/</code>. I have checked file ownership, moved it all around, always changing the <code>TEMPLATES_DIR</code> in <code>setting.py</code>. I have pipe'd the contents of the file to cat to make sure it works. I have scarificed animals to strange Gods to get this to work. I turn to you now. I am sure it is the stupidest thing ever, I have very little doubt about this. I just want it to work. </p>
  
  <p>I am not sure what parts of the code/traceback you want/need here, let me know I will post them. I am doing this on Ubuntu 10.10</p>
  
  <p><strong>EDIT</strong></p>
  
  <p>From <code>settings.py</code>:</p>
  
  <pre><code>TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
      "home/kevin/first/tutorial/temps"
  )
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>This used to live in ~, but I moved into the project folder thinking it would help.</p>
