Hello,
In the settings.py please give the full path to your appsclass as mentioned in
app.py. That should be the standard.
Please share the HTML code here, then it should be clear for further suggestion.

I am having fun trying to initiate a django project with some apps. I am
taking an awesome course on udemy called, The Ultimate Beginner's Guide to
Django. I was able to follow along and I have a basic blog up and running. Now
I am back tracking a little by starting over, this time using a supplementary
Django cheat sheet. I encountered a number of issues and resolved them but now
I find myself stuck.
When I try navigating to my new homepage, Django provides me with this debug
traceback. Django is telling me here that the templates directory doesn’t
exist, when it clearly does. Here is a screenshot of Atom so you can see my
project’s file tree. As you can see my directory tree for my project, there is
an folder which is called, blogitems. and within the blogitems folder is a
sub-folder called, templates, then blogitems again and finally my file,
home.html
It’s rather confusing. I don’t like the redundancy and the recursive nature of
all the app files and directory names. Maybe this is my problem. Can any of
your make sense of my debug output to explain why I am getting the error? Can
anyone please provide some clarity here?
Here is the cheat sheet:
Creating a Django App
1. Open terminal and navigate to django project folder (where manage.py exists)
2. django-admin startapp [app name] # use pluralised names, e.g. posts
3. Navigate to new app folder.
4. Create new subfolder called “templates”
5. Navigate to new templates folder.
6. Create new subfolder called same name as your app (e.g. posts)
7. Go back to project folder
9. Open project urls.py and add “from [appname] import views”. Then add url
path for new view.
e.g. url(r’^$’, views.home, name=‘home’)
10.Open views.py and add:
def home(request):
return render(request, ‘posts/home.html’)
11. Navigate to projectfolder\appfolder\templates\appfolder
12. Create new file ‘home.html’
13. Go to project folder and open settings.py. Scroll down to INSTALLED_APPs
and add ‘appname’, to the end of the list of apps.
It's this last step where I encounter the error.
Here are the contents of urls.py:from django.conf.urls import url
from django.contrib import admin
from blogitems import views
urlpatterns = [
#initialization admin interface:
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
url(r’^$’, views.home, name=‘home’),
]
I added the app into the settings.py:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'blogitems',
]
Is there any other information I could provide?
Thanks for your attention.
