Django, template cannot be found

For some reason the webapp I created, cannot find the template. I tried also to place the html file into several different location, but it still won't find it. As of now I have placed my template director at the following location C:\xampp\htdocs\django_proj\templates\. Do someone else know what the problem could be.

I have another webapp in this django project. The model and view, look almost the same, however that webapp can find the templates.

/webapp/models.py

from django.db import models

class Profile(models.Model):
    name = models.CharField(max_length=255)
    age = models.IntegerField() 
    added_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now_add=True)

/webapp/views.py

from django.views.generic.list_detail import object_list

from models import Profile

def profile_list(request):
    return object_list(request,
        queryset=Profile.objects.all(),
        template_name='/webapp/list.html',
        template_object_name='profiles')

/webapp/urls.py

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *

import views

urlpatterns = patterns('',

    url(r'^list/$', views.profile_list, name='profile_list'),
)

/urls.py

from django.conf.urls import *

    urlpatterns = patterns('',

         (r'^webapp/', include('webapp.urls')),
    )

/templates/webapp/list.html

<html>
  <body>
  Test
  </body>
</html>

Error message

Your template name contains the aboslute path /webapp/list.html. Try making it a relative path webapp/list.html so that os.path.join(.) handles path concatenation as intended.

Try this:

def profile_list(request):
    return object_list(request,
        queryset=Profile.objects.all(),
        template_name='webapp/list.html', # removed slash here.
        template_object_name='profiles')

Try to change your url pattern on /webapp/urls.py from:

url(r'^list/$', views.profile_list, name='profile_list'),

to 

url(r'^webapp/list/$', views.profile_list, name='profile_list'),
