Hi,
I face the same problem as haver too when I followed the tutorial at
(http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/0.96/tutorial03/).
I don't think we were supposed to change the URL config. Apparently
the loader.get_template should have loaded index.html from the
template directory, but it returned a 404 error for some reasons.
Quoted from the site:
"When you've done that, create a directory polls in your template
directory. Within that, create a file called index.html. Note that our
loader.get_template('polls/index.html') code from above maps to
"[template_directory]/polls/index.html" on the filesystem."
