Template does not exist

#1

Hello, I’ve made it to the bottom of page 15, but my index.html will not display when I run the server. I re-did the whole thing but got the same error. I tried the code from the github repo, but that seemed to use older commands that just caused more issues (like the ‘patterns’ method in the url.py folder).

Anyway, I’m sure I just need to do something simple, like reposition the inex.html file, or tell django to re-integrate files or some such thing…

help please?

Here’s the output from http://127.0.0.1:8000/

annnnndddd, i just figured it out.

I had to add this to the templates section of my settings.py file:

    'DIRS': [r'/home/bryant/Documents/Coding/hellowebapp/collection/templates',],

Thanks. Your post along with the sites find similar post feater I was saved from having to make a whole new post. It worked. I get a simple Hello World page going I’v had to do a lot of file/directory creating and config file editing. Everyone keeps saying that python is the future of the web but there really is a lot more to learn and have to remember compared to php. I’m trying, but coming from php django discourages me.
