            'DIRS': [],
            'APP_DIRS': True,
            'OPTIONS': {

                    'django.template.context_processors.request',
                    ...

As specified by the product documentation, for legacy apps built with Django 1.8 (of bellow) the context processors should be specified using a different syntax: 

    from django.conf import global_settings

    TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS = global_settings.TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS + (
        'django.core.context_processors.request',
    )

$ python manage.py createsuperuser
$ 
$ # Start the application (development mode)
