How to use the default template for Django admin?

I installed Django and enabled the admin site. When I go to the admin page, I get the followingenter image description here

The image does not look the official Django tutorial. In settings.py I updated TEMPLATE_DIRS with the correct path.

TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
    "/var/www/mysite/templates/admin"
)

I also tried restarting Apache many times. Any suggestions on what I might be doing wrong? Thank you.
