When updating the view in order to reference the newly created template.
Loader is asked to load 'polls/index.html'. However, it throws an
exception. Since it's looking for it in the projects folder. It's supposed
to be 'index.html'.

{{{
from django.http import HttpResponse
from django.template import RequestContext, loader

from polls.models import Poll

def index(request):
latest_poll_list = Poll.objects.order_by('-pub_date')[:5]
template = loader.get_template('polls/index.html')
context = RequestContext(request, {
'latest_poll_list': latest_poll_list,
})
return HttpResponse(template.render(context))
}}}

Comment:

If you follow the instructions about the location of the new template,
there is no problem.
"Within the templates directory you have just created, create another
directory called polls, and within that create a file called index.html.
In other words, your template should be at
polls/templates/polls/index.html."
