TemplateDoesNotExist at / -- Any Advice?

I have this error below.

/home/marroble/my-first-blog/myvenv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/template/loader.py in get_template, line 25

It also states this, and when I follow it there is no file there. But why is it checking it there?

Django tried loading these templates, in this order:

Using engine django: django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader: /home/marroble/my-first-blog/myvenv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/templates/blog/post_list.html (Source does not exist)

django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader: /home/marroble/my-first-blog/myvenv/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/contrib/auth/templates/blog/post_list.html (Source does not exist)

The HTML file is here and confirmed.

/home/marroble/my-first-blog/blog/Templates/blog

And this also works in my local machine and everything checks out. After pusing through github then paython anywhere i get the error code above.

Anyone knows what is going wrong here?

what is your templates path configuration in settings.py?

[edited by admin: formatting]

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
            ],
        },
    },
]

Thank you for taking the time Conrad to help me out

don't you need to add /path/to/your/project/templates to DIRS?

I was following tutorial, my first project.

So, add the 'DIRS'[where I have the templates]?

Also, why did it work in the local machine and not on pythonanywhere?

Apologize for my ignorance as I only have the knowledge for following tutorial and learning python at the same time.

In addition, the tutorial had me do views.py and bogs/urls.py adjustments to point out. Which I think what makes the internal, local machine work.

from django.shortcuts import render

Create your views here.

def post_list(request): return render(request, 'blog/post_list.html', {})

Then, I uploaded to github and then here and I had that error ever since I rechecked my local machine, run the server on the shell and everything seems to work fine.

are you following the djangogirls tutorial? if so I think you've definitely gone wrong somewhere... it may be worth starting again, afresh, from the very beginning?

Harry, Yes. I am following that tutorial.

I am exactly at the creation of html template file directory. I got the same exact error per tutorial in local machine and after creating the html file and running the local server, everything is perfect.

Then github and then here PA and theirs works and mine does not. I will start over if that is last option, but to work in local machine and not here seems strange.

well, debugging it from this point is probably going to be harder work, but it's not impossible. first question: are you sure you've committed all the files you need on your own PC to your git repository, and pushed them to github, and pulled them down to pythonanywhere?

Yes, 100%.

To take your advise, how can I completely delete file fr oom python anywhere including the swgi file and use the bash to redo it?

you can delete a file from the file editor tab by navigating to the folder and hitting the delete button. Or you can use basah to delete it by using the rm command.

I have done it again, from step one of deployment to completion- after completely deleted all the files. Here is my result. I have opened all of the error codes. But the only error code matters is the 25, last error code. Hopefully, this maybe enough information?

can i have permission to look at your files? (we can do it via our admin ui but we always ask first...)

Absolutely. Yes. What permission you need?

Took a look at your files. I see a folder called Templates with upper case T. Is the error just not finding the correct folder?

Ok. Thanks. I will do it again and reupload it. See what happens. Thank you.

This error never goes away.

Is there a way to edit the Template folder to from Templates to templates?

Yes. It finally fixed and works now. The error was the capitalized T. in the templates folder.

For anyone looking in the future for similar error.

I deleted the templates folder, pushed to github then added the templates folder and pushed to github again.

For some reason, the push via github, does not change the T to t for some reason, therefore I was in a circle, never ending error. It feels good to have it fixed. Hopefully, it helps someone.

Thank you guys for the support or checking my error and your advice, highly appreciated.

File "/home/username/.virtualenvs//lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/template/loader.py", line 19, in get_template raise TemplateDoesNotExist(template_name, chain=chain) django.template.exceptions.TemplateDoesNotExist: frontend/.html

Tried all the three template paths PROJECT_APP_PATH = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(file)) TEMPLTE_PATH = os.path.join(PROJECT_APP_PATH, 'templates')

TEMPLTE_PATH = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')

TEMPLATES = [ { 'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates', 'DIRS': [TEMPLTE_PATH], 'APP_DIRS': True, 'OPTIONS': { 'context_processors': [ 'django.template.context_processors.debug', 'django.template.context_processors.request', 'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth', 'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages', ], }, }, ]

Still its 500 server error. really screwed any idea why this issue?

It looks like you have a typo in your code:

TEMPLTE_PATH = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')

You're missing the "A" in TEMPLATE_CODE.

I'd also suggest you set DEBUG to True in your settings.py, as that will display a more helpful error page than the simple "500 internal server error" one, including the details of the specific directories Django looked in when trying to find your templates.
