Django can't find dir pattern?

Initially, I had only one application in my Django project, the templates consisted of index.html a detail.html and layout.html ... index and detail files expanded the layout. They all lived in the same directory ([app1] / templates / [app1] /), and he could find all the files in order.

Now I have a second application, and I want to reuse layout.html ... I decided to make a dir template from the django project base and put it there. Here's what my directory structure looks like:

<basepath>/<django_project>/templates/shared <basepath>/<django_project>/<app1>/templates/<app1> <basepath>/<django_project>/<app2>/templates/<app2>

I updated settings.py options:

 TEMPLATE_DIRS = ( '/full/path/to/<django_project>/<app1>/templates', '/full/path/to/<django_project>/<app2>/templates', '/full/path/to/<django_project>/templates', )

In the "shared" dir, I have layout.html ... from the dir files of app1 or app2, I have index.html, and the line "extends" at the top of the file reads:

 {% extends "shared/layout.html" %}

However, when I try to load the application view, it receives an error message that it cannot find shared / layout.html

 TemplateSyntaxError at / Caught TemplateDoesNotExist while rendering: shared/layout.html

Any ideas what I am missing? It should be pretty simple, should I ignore something really obvious?

My bad! It seemed to me that I was running it for Nginx, so I restarted it and still experienced problems. After checking again, I realized that I was running after Apache, restarting Apache, updated my TEMPLATE_DIRS, and now it works!
