title: django error TemplateDoesNotExist
body: <p>I am new to Django and just follow the Django official document, but here is a problem.</p>
  
  <p>I create a new Django project with </p>
  
  <p><strong>Django 1.8.2 + PyCharm 4.5.1 + Python 3.4.3 + Windows 8.1</strong></p>
  
  <pre><code>  - mysite
       - main
          - migrations
              __init__.py
          __init__.py
          admin.py
          models.py
          tests.py
          views.py
       - mysite
          __init__.py
          settings.py
          urls.py
          wsgi.py
       - templates
          hello.html
       db.sqlite3
       manage.py
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>most of these are created automatically, which i modified are as follows:</p>
  
  <p>templates/hello.html</p>
  
  <pre><code>&lt;!DOCTYPE html&gt;
  &lt;html&gt;
  &lt;head lang="en"&gt;
    &lt;meta charset="UTF-8"&gt;
    &lt;title&gt;Django test&lt;/title&gt;
  &lt;/head&gt;
  &lt;body&gt;
  hello world!
  &lt;/body&gt;
  &lt;/html&gt;
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>mysite/urls.py</p>
  
  <pre><code>from django.conf.urls import include, url
  from django.contrib import admin
  from main.views import hello
  
  urlpatterns = [
      url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
      url(r'^hello/$', hello),
  ]
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>main/views.py</p>
  
  <pre><code>from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
  
  def hello(request):
      return render_to_response('hello.html', locals())
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>and click run and visit localhost:8080, here are results:</p>
  
  <pre><code>TemplateDoesNotExist at /hello/
  hello.html

  </code></pre>
  
  <p>if I change the views.py as</p>
  
  <pre><code>from django.http import HttpResponse
  
  def hello(request):
      return HttpResponse("hello world")
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>it runs correctly.</p>
  
  <p>I think it may caused by the template path, here is the settings.py, generated automatically without modification：</p>
