500 Internal Sever Error

Hello,

I'm currently getting this error and when I try to open my web page, it doesn't generate any new errors.

This is my last error log:

Which was giving me a 502-backend error message. Could anybody advise some help on this please? Thanks!

seems like it couldn't find your template index.html?

Hello Conrad,

So I don't understand why it can't find the index.html. I've read about it possibly needing an absolute path instead of a relative path although as I'm new to python, I don't know where to edit this. Could you point me in the right direction please?

Never mind, I fixed this. Problem was due to index.html being in Templates and not templates.

Great! Glad you fixed it.
