TemplateDoesNotExist - even though the template is in the correct folder
I did see a very similar post in this group, but it did not help me
with my problem. I'm probably overlooking something simple, this is
what I have:
# SETTINGS.PY:
TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
"D:/django-projects/localsite/templates",
)
# POLLS/VIEWS.PY:
from django.http import HttpResponse
from localsite.polls.models import Poll
from django.template import Context, loader
def index(request):
latest_polls = Poll.objects.all().order_by('-pub_date')[:5]
t = loader.get_template('polls/index.htm')
c = Context({
'latest_polls': latest_polls,
})
return HttpResponse(t.render(c))
THE FOLDER STRUCTURE:
D:\django-projects\localsite\templates\polls\index.htm
Notes:
- I also tried editing the admin template by creating D:\django-
projects\localsite\templates\admin\base_site.html but changing that
template did not affect the admin interface either.
- I am running this on the django development server. The
TemplateDoesNotExist error page is a result of trying to access
http://localhost:8000/polls/
- More info from the error page:
Request Method: GET
Request URL:http://localhost:8000/polls/
Django Version: 1.2.1
Exception Type: TemplateDoesNotExist
Exception Value:polls/index.htm
Exception Location: /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/django/template/
loader.py in find_template, line 138
Template-loader postmortem
Django tried loading these templates, in this order:
* Using loader django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader:
* Using loader django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader:
Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks.

Re: TemplateDoesNotExist - even though the template is in the correct folder
Well, after inserting a number of debugging statements in loader.py
and filesystem.py, I found the cause of this; here's what the
filesystem.py Loader's load_template_source attempts to access:
filepath=u'/cygdrive/d/django-projects/localsite/D:/django-projects/
localsite/templates/polls/index.htm'
So if you're using windows and have python installed through cygwin,
you have to edit the loader files a bit. By the way, I also have
python installed outside of cygwin and never realized that django
decided to use the cygwin python directory... I'm not sure if that can
be changed and how. Thoughts?

Re: TemplateDoesNotExist - even though the template is in the correct folder
I'm talking to myself here, but in case someone else runs into the
same problem, I'll summarize the cause & solution I used (although
it's only a hack, I don't know if it will work consistently):
Cause: If you have Python installed through Cygwin on Windows, Django
is using the Cygwin path, which messes up the templates directory
path. Example: instead of "D:/django-projects/localsite/templates/
polls/index.htm", the path reads "/cygdrive/d/django-projects/
localsite/D:/django-projects/localsite/templates/polls/index.htm".
Solution:
Edit the following file: path\to\Cygwin\lib\python2.5\site-packages
\django\template\loaders\filesystem.py
1) At the top of the file, add the line:
import os.path
2) In function get_template_sources, change the following line:
yield safe_join(template_dir, template_name)
to the following:
yield os.path.join(template_dir, template_name)
This solved the issue for me. A better fix would be to make Django use
Python directly through Windows, not through Cygwin, but I'm not sure
how to set it up now that it's already installed.
Cheers.
