I’ve hit a snag with Chapter 10 of the book, the following URLs result in a template error:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/accounts/register
http://127.0.0.1:8000/accounts/logout/
http://127.0.0.1:8000/accounts/login/
The error is as follows:
TemplateDoesNotExist at /accounts/login/

Template-loader postmortem
Django tried loading these templates, in this order:
Using engine django:
django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader: /Users/jfreasier/Desktop/Code/web-projects/hello-web-app/collection/templates/base_html (Source does not exist)
django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader: /Users/jfreasier/anaconda3/envs/hello/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/templates/base_html (Source does not exist)
django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader: /Users/jfreasier/anaconda3/envs/hello/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/auth/templates/base_html (Source does not exist)

I’ve combed through each of the steps in this chapter, and I can’t find anything that I’ve missed or done incorrectly. I am using an anaconda virtual environment instead of virtualenv, but that hasn’t caused me any problems so far in the project, so I don’t see how this could be causing this specific error. I have confirmed that the right version of django-registration-redux package installed. There is absolutely no issue with template rendering for ‘Thing’ html files, so it’s not anything to do with an incorrect file path for base.html file. I’m pretty much at a dead end here, so appreciate your feedback on this.
