Tutorial 2 admin Template not found

I have 0.96 installed and I'm working on Tutorial 2:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/0.96/tutor
ial02/

Everything from Tutorial 1 worked just fine, but once I
follow the
steps under "Activate the admin site" and try to
visit admin, I get a
TemplateDoesNotExist for admin/login.html

I checked and I do have that file under
/System/Library/Frameworks/
Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/dj
ango/
contrib/admin/templates/admin

I hope that's where it's actually supposed to be?

I've checked permissions and everyone has at least read
rights.

Let me know if more info is needed - I'm a noob.

So I've discovered that I can get the admin page to show up
if I add '/
System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.5/lib/
python2.5/
site-packages/django/contrib/admin/templates' to
TEMPLATE_DIRS in the
settings.py file for my project (for some reason this
doesn't work in
global_settings.py).

But admin shows up with no styling. Looks like my
"MEDIA_ROOT" is
wrong? I tried entering
'/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/
Versions/2.5/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/contrib/admi
n/media',
but that doesn't work...and how am I to know the MEDIA_URL?
Don't I
have to map a URL or something? Is this stuff just not
covered in the
tutorial?

Clearly I'm confused and have lots of questions - hopefully
someone
can help me make sense of at least one or two of them.

Thanks so much for your help.

I have no problems going through the tutorial (and creating
my own apps)
on my mac. Are you using the development server to do all of
this? I
could see where you'd have the problems you are having if
you are trying
this all through apache/mod_python.
How did you install django? from source? I don't know if
there is a
darwinports or a fink package out there. The way I installed
django on
my mac (running leopard) was like this:

cd /Library/Python/2.5/site-packages
sudo |svn co http://code.djangoproject.com/svn/django/trunk/django
django

I never had to do anything like manually configure the admin
TEMPLATE_DIRS.
I am using the development version, and I haven't been
around long
enough to know for sure, but you may be experiencing a bug
related to
django-0.96/mac.

You do need to map a URL for the admin media url in a
production
server--like apache. On my production server, I haven't
bothered to get
it working, so my admin interface is very boring and plain
looking, but
I don't really use it anyway. On the django built-in
development server
it should just work.

Good Luck!

Looks almost like your TEMPLATE_LOADERS in settings.py
doesn't have
the app loader enabled.  Check that.

You need to set your ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX
(http://www.djangoproject.com/documentatio
n/settings/#admin-media-prefix)
appropriately, as well as make sure it doesn't collide with
your own
MEDIA_URL.

If you're using the built-in webserver (runserver) it will
handle
mapping based on that ADMIN_MEDIA_PREFIX.

For serving your own static media, read though this:
http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/static_files/

Thanks, everyone,

Jeff, I installed the SVN version, like you said - and it
worked! I
guess I was under the (apparently false) impression that the
official
release would be better to install than the SVN version.
