Admin templates not found for Django 1.4

landon

I migrated an old Django 1.4 site from WF and never checked if the admin site was working until this week. I am getting an error:

TemplateDoesNotExist at /admin/
admin/login.html

It seems like this would be a pythonpath issue. I have tried explicitly adding the contrib path for the admin site but no luck. Anyone else ran into this? This is a pretty basic Django install, nothing fancy that'd be overwriting.

This seems to be a problem with older versions of Django installed by newer versions of pip.

You can correct it by reinstalling Django as follows:

source ~/apps/appname/env/bin/activate
pip install --ignore-installed --no-binary django Django==1.4

Per usual, you are a saint Sean 🙂 This resolved my issue. Thanks!
