Solved this problem already. The problem lies inside of /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/ contrib/admin/. Some files were not installed properly. The login.html exist but it has no contents inside. I opened up the Django-1.1.1.tar.gz and grabbed /django/contrib/admin/ and extracted it in /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/.
This solved my problem for the mean time. But I got the worries that other directories might have this problem. Can anyone lighten me a bit? And also, just for asking ;), why does it didn't install properly? I did python setup.py install. Is the cause of this problem is Cygwin? Django? or python?
