Your TEMPLATE_DIR should not have a leading '/' otherwise the system
will be looking for a top level directory, meaning that it will treat
it as a full path (also known as an absolute path). You should code
it as 'mytemplates' (this is a relative path, and Django will look
for it relative to your project folder).
On a different note, I wouldn't put my project folder into Django's
bin folder. That folder's purpose is to store scripts used for
maintaining Django. Nothing particularly wrong with that, but I liken
it to storing food in my bathroom (a place for everything and
everything in its place).
