TemplateDoesNotExist

I am using django-cms app in my django project. I encountered the following error without any significant changes I made.

Exception Type: TemplateDoesNotExist
Exception Value: cms/new.html

I checked the presence of django-cms installed in the site-packages dir, also found the 'new.html' file in its right place in the app. Moreover, I found this line, in the django debug page, which puzzled me much:

Using loader django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader:
.......
/usr/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cms/templates/cms/new.html (File exists)
.......

according to this line, it is supposed that django has already found the template. So, what is wrong?

two ways: first,make sure you have put your app in the settings

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'mysite',
    # ...... the rest of installed apps
)

second, you can directly set TEMPLATE_DIRS

TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
    '/mysite/templates',
)

This directory does not seems to be a Django template dir.

In your settings.py file, there is a definition of TEMPLATE_DIR var:

For instance:

TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
    ROOT_PATH = '/template',
)

You should put here the right directory, containing your "new.html" template file.

You have to copy it from the django-cms folder into you projects template directory.
