django 1.4 - admin TemplateDoesNotExist at /admin/auth/user/ Options

[joshjdevl@…]

We recently upgraded from django 1.3 to django 1.4. I updated the manage.py
and am also using the wsgi.py as recommended in the release notes. We
deploy to apache using mod_wsgi on our servers and use manage.py runserver
locally.
Locally we get errors when trying to render the admin pages. However on
apache using mod_wsgi the admin pages work. Any ideas?
The errors are
TemplateDoesNotExist at /admin/auth/user/
admin/auth/user/change_list.html, admin/auth/change_list.html,
admin/change_list.html
Request Method:GETRequest URL:http://localhost:8000/admin/auth/user/Django

Template-loader postmortem
Django tried loading these templates, in this order:

• Using loader django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader:
  • /media/data/work/clean/rmsagit/customers/templates/admin/auth/user/change_l ist.html, admin/auth/change_list.html, admin/change_list.html (File does not exist)
• Using loader django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader:

Exception Type: TemplateDoesNotExist at /admin/

admin/index.html does certainly exist in 1.4 (​https://github.com/django/django/blob/1.4/django/contrib/admin/templates/admin/index.html)

The template loader postmortem reports:

Django tried loading these templates, in this order:

    Using loader django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader:
        /media/data/work/clean/rmsagit/customers/templates/admin/index.html (File does not exist)
    Using loader django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader:
        /media/data/work/clean/rmsagit/customers/templates/admin/index.html (File does not exist)

This postmortem isn't showing that /media/data/work/clean/rmsagit/django/contrib/admin/templates/admin/index.html was tried, which implies the directory /media/data/work/clean/rmsagit/django/contrib/admin/templates/ does not exist. /media/data/work/clean/rmsagit/django is an odd place for Django to be installed. How did Django get there and is it possible that the method used did not properly copy all the source files?

Accesing admin certainly works in Django 1.4, and certainly works for projects updated from 1.3 (I've done that). Closing invalid since it seems likely the problem here has to do with how Django was "installed".
