Django Template does not exist error, although it shows 'file exists'

Question

I am not able to render any html pages in Django 1.7. My \'index.html\' is in \'project/seatalloc/templates/index.html\' and my view.py in proje

Answer 1

First of all don't use static path (fixed path) in template dirs in settings.py, use:

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__))

TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
      BASE_DIR +'/Templates',


  )

And template directory should be in project directory i.e in which manage.py file exists.

And in view.py use render_to_response instead of just render.

return  render_to_response("index.html")
