title: TemplateDoesNotExist while the file exists and permissions are correct
body: <p>I'm trying to extend from a template, and I keep getting the same <strong>TemplateDoesNotExist</strong> error. All other pages, that don't extend the base template work (they just have some dummy html)</p>
  
  <p>I did a ls -l and the file exists and all the permissions are idential:</p>
  
  <pre><code>-rw-r--r-- 1 atrus users 1625 Mar 13 13:05 base.html
  drwxr-xr-x 2 atrus users 4096 Mar 13 10:50 css
  drwxr-xr-x 2 atrus users 4096 Mar 13 10:51 img
  -rw-r--r-- 1 atrus users  136 Mar 13 13:14 index.html
  -rw-r--r-- 1 atrus users  407 Mar 12 12:16 login.html
  -rw-r--r-- 1 atrus users  662 Mar 12 03:21 register.html
  -rw-r--r-- 1 atrus users   59 Mar 12 02:41 temp.html
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>So it's not a permissions issue, and the file (base.html exists)</p>
  
  <p>My view that I'm calling (index) is simply:</p>
  
  <pre><code>def index(request):
      return render_to_response('menu/index.html')
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and my index.html is as follows:</p>
  
  <pre><code>{% extends 'base.html' %}
  
  {% block title %}Home{% endblock title %}
  
  {% block content %}
  &lt;p&gt;here be content &lt;p&gt;
  {% endblock content %}
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>with the error occurring at the very first line.</p>
  
  <p>My TEMPLATE_DIRS of settings.py is:</p>
  
  <pre><code>TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
      # Put strings here, like "/home/html/django_templates" or "C:/www/django/templates".
      # Always use forward slashes, even on Windows.
      # Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths.
      '/home/atrus/Dropbox/workspace/menu/menu/templates'
  )
  </code></pre>
