Re: my mysite/templates/admin/base_site.html is ignored (tutorial unclear?)

Have you solved this problem, Andreas?  I am having the same issue and have done

everything that the tutorial described as well as everything that people on this thread

have suggested.

I am working through https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/intro/tutorial02

so far all went fine - but now templates changes just don't work.

I think there must be a flaw in that tutorial, something missing,

or something different in django 1.7.1 ?

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/intro/tutorial02/#customize-the-admin-look-and-feel

my versions:

python -c "import django; print(django.get_version())"

1.7.1

python --version

Python 2.7.3

SYMPTOM:

my changes in 

mysite/templates/admin/base_site.html   

are simply ignored.

These are my files:

mysite# tree

.

├── db.sqlite3

├── manage.py

├── mysite

│   ├── __init__.py

│   ├── settings.py

│   ├── urls.py

│   └── wsgi.py

├── polls

│   ├── admin.py

│   ├── __init__.py

│   ├── migrations

│   │   ├── 0001_initial.py

│   │   └── __init__.py

│   ├── models.py

│   ├── tests.py

│   └── views.py

└── templates

    └── admin

        └── base_site.html

mysite/settings.py:

TEMPLATE_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')]

Whatever I do, the page

http://myserver:8000/admin/polls/question/

still keeps the old title 'Django administration'

I want to understand how templates work, because I need them for my real project.

Thanks a lot!
