Django Template Not Loading On Tommy

[nijojob]

Hi,

I have a html file in a templates folder but I can't load it in the project.

This is the error:

TemplateDoesNotExist at /MyApp2/dispatch.wsgi/

index.html

Request Method: GET

Request URL: http://nijojob.heliohost.org/MyApp2/dispatch.wsgi/

Django Version: 1.10.5

Exception Type: TemplateDoesNotExist

Exception Value:

index.html

Exception Location: /usr/local/python3.6/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/template/loader.py in get_template, line 25

Python Executable:

Template-loader postmortem

Django tried loading these templates, in this order:

Using engine django:

django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader: /templates/index.html (Source does not exist)

django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader: /usr/local/python3.6/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/contrib/auth/templates/index.html (Source does not exist)

 

And this is my view page:

from django.http import HttpResponse

from django.shortcuts import render

 

def index(request):

return render(request, 'index.html')

What does your

TEMPLATE_DIRS = (

)

look like?

[nijojob]

I don't have one in this. Tommy is running django 1.10. right? So, I have defined it as:

# List of callables that know how to import templates from various sources.

TEMPLATE_LOADERS = (

'django.template.loaders.filesystem.load_template_source',

'django.template.loaders.app_directories.load_template_source',

'django.template.loaders.eggs.load_template_source',

)

 

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (

'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',

'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',

'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',

# 'django.middleware.doc.XViewMiddleware',

'django.contrib.admindocs.middleware.XViewMiddleware',

)

 

ROOT_URLCONF = 'urls'

 

TEMPLATES = [

{

'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',

'DIRS': ['templates'],

'APP_DIRS': True,

'OPTIONS': {

'context_processors': [

# Insert your TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS here or use this

# list if you haven't customized them:

'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',

'django.template.context_processors.debug',

'django.template.context_processors.i18n',

'django.template.context_processors.media',

'django.template.context_processors.static',

'django.template.context_processors.tz',

'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',

],

},

},

]

 

 

INSTALLED_APPS = (

'django.contrib.auth',

'django.contrib.contenttypes',

'django.contrib.sessions',

'django.contrib.sites',

)

Oh yeah, you're right on the new syntax https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/ref/templates/upgrading/#the-templates-settings

 

I changed

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': ['templates'],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
...

to

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': ['/home/nijojob/public_html/MyApp2/templates'],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
...

and it seems to work now? You should probably use something like os.path.dirname to make it more portable if so.

Thank you very much for your efforts.....
