Hi folks,
I am doing the Django tutorial (part 3 _ Django Documentation.htm).
I created an HTML template in a folder within my Django project/ site
(C:\Projects\SASalaries\sasalaries\mytemplates\polls) and my TEMPLATE_DIRS
setting in settings.py is as follows:
TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
*"C:/Projects/SASalaries/sasalaries/mytemplates",*
# Put strings here, like "/home/html/django_templates" or
"C:/www/django/templates".
# Always use forward slashes, even on Windows.
# Don't forget to use absolute paths, not relative paths.
)
I created a template as follows:
<!-- Created: 30/01/2010 by coderoid -->
<!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional/EN">
<html>
<head>
<title>Polls index page.</title>
<meta http-equiv="content-type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1">
<meta name="generator" content="PyScripter">
</head>
<body>
{% if latest_poll_list %}
<ul>
{% for poll in latest_poll_list %}
<li>{{ poll.question }}</li>
{% endfor %}
</ul>
{% else %}
<p>No polls are available.</p>
{% endif %}
</body>
</html>
Problem is, when i run the dev server and browse to
http://localhost:8000/polls/ i get the following error (full stack trace):
Environment:
Request Method: GET

Django Version: 1.1.1

Template Loader Error:
Django tried loading these templates, in this order:
Using loader django.template.loaders.filesystem.load_template_source:
*c:\projects\sasalaries\sasalaries\mytemplates\polls\index.html (File does
not exist)*
Using loader django.template.loaders.app_directories.load_template_source:
c:\python25\lib\site-packages\django\contrib\admin\templates\polls\index.html
(File does not exist)
Traceback:

find_template_source

Exception Type: *TemplateDoesNotExist* at /polls/
Exception Value: polls/index.html
How does the template "not exist" when i'm looking at it? I have tried:
- moving it to a directory outside the Django installation and modifying my
settings.py TEMPLATE_DIRS accordingly, e.g. to C:\,
- removing all meta data generated my my HTML editor of choice
...and the issue persists. Please enlighten?!
*
BTW*, i'm logged on using an account with full administrator privileges and
my Django installation is running as such.
