setup.py doesn't create django/contrib/admin/templates/

[Tom Tobin <korpios@…>]

With a recent svn pull (968) and a fresh install using setup.py, django/contrib/admin/templates/ is not copied over. The result is that the admin interface fails with a traceback:

There's been an error:

Traceback (most recent call last):

TemplateDoesNotExist: admin/login

This issue is likely not a problem for those merely linking to the checked out django directory, rather than using setup.py.

The workaround is to copy django/contrib/admin/templates/ from the checked out django directory to the corresponding location in the installed directory.

(In [972]) Fixed #653 -- setup.up now accounts for admin file moves. Thanks, korpios@…

I started django-ing since 3 weeks.
OS is WinXP. setup.py does create django/contrib/admin/templates/ but the problem still exist for me. Works on linux.

TemplateDoesNotExist at /admin/
admin/login.html

Any help?

Kumar - please take support requests to the django-users mailing list. What version of Django are you using?

i saw this behavior when installing django today on osx 10.5.2+, python 2.5.1 and django from SVN version build 7049.

i did a ln -s from my django-svn/django directory to my site-packages directory and it's working now
