Hi I am new to both Python and Django. I am studying various tutorials
and now I am following the tutorial from
http://gettingstartedwithdjango.com
<http://gettingstartedwithdjango.com/> where the author walks through
the creation of a simple microblog.
I tried to follow the tutorial to the point but I keep getting
TemplateDoesNotExist at /. Then I tried to modify few things but still I
keep getting the error. Right now the configuration is like this.
My project tree:
microblog/
??? manage.py
??? microblog
? ??? __init__.py
? ??? __init__.pyc
? ??? settings
? ? ??? base.py
? ? ??? base.pyc
? ? ??? __init__.py
? ? ??? __init__.pyc
? ? ??? local.py
? ? ??? local.pyc
? ??? urls.py
? ??? urls.pyc
? ??? views.py
? ??? wsgi.py
? ??? wsgi.pyc
??? requirements.txt
??? templates
??? 500.html
??? index.html
My settings/base.py which is essentially equivalent to settings.py
import os
...
PROJECT_ROOT = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))
...
TEMPLATE_LOADERS = (
'django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader',
'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader',
'django.template.loaders.eggs.Loader',
)
...
TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, 'templates'),
)
My urls.py
from django.views.generic import TemplateView
...
urlpatterns = patterns('',
...
url(r'^$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name="index.html")),
...
)
and I added a views.py just in case
from django.views.generic import TemplateView
class HomepageView(TemplateView):
template_name = "index.html"
Always I get the error message "TemplateDoesNotExist at /"
Django tried loading these templates, in this order:
* Using loader|django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader|:
o
|/home/voger/PycharmProjects/microblog/microblog/templates/index.html|(File
does not exist)
* Using loader|django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader|:
o
|/home/voger/blog-venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/auth/templates/index.html|(File
does not exist)
o
|/home/voger/blog-venv/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/templates/index.html|(File
does not exist)
* Using loader|django.template.loaders.eggs.Loader|:
If it would try the first two lines the file is sitting right there so
what is wrong with it?
