I am trying to work towards deploying my application and have done most of my work on Windows. However now that I have moved it over to AWS it does not work anymore.

Before anyone links other articles here is a list of all the things I have tried:

  • Adding os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'templates') to TEMPLATE_DIR
  • Changing the permissions of my template
  • My app is in my INSTALLED_APPS variable
  • I have checked that all my render methods are formatted correctly
  • Re-downloaded my project completely

Like I said earlier, it works on my Windows machine, just not on AWS or my Mac. Even more strange is that the error says

Django tried loading these templates, in this order:

Using engine django:
    * django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader: /opt/bitnami/apps/django/django_projects/goFiles/uploads/templates/uploads/base.html  (Source does not exist)
    * django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader: /opt/bitnami/apps/django/django_projects/goFiles/uploads/templates/uploads/base.html  (Source does not exist)
    * django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader: /opt/bitnami/python/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/templates/uploads/base.html  (Source does not exist)
    * django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader: /opt/bitnami/python/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/contrib/auth/templates/uploads/base.html  (Source does not exist)

And /opt/bitnami/apps/django/django_projects/goFiles/uploads/templates/uploads/base.html is the correct absolute path to the template I am looking for. If I try to cat that file, using that absolute path, it prints to stdout. All this being said I will include some of my code for critical review.

views.py

def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        paste = None
        return render(request, 'uploads/index.html', {'paste': paste})

    def post(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
        paste = request.POST
        if is_post_valid(request):
            return upload(request)
        return render(request, 'uploads/index.html', {'paste': paste})

INSTALLED_APPS

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'uploads.apps.UploadsConfig',
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
]

TEMPLATES

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': ['/opt/bitnami/apps/django/django_projects/goFiles/uploads/templates/uploads/'],

                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
            ],
        },

If I need to include any more information I am happy to do so. Any help would be much appreciated.

    Set `'DIRS': ['/opt/bitnami/apps/django/django_projects/goFiles/uploads/templates/'],` – JPG Sep 13 '20 at 04:30

you have put extra space at the end of extends i manually tried that django won't allow any extra spaces

from:
    {% extends "uploads/base.html "%} 
                                 ^
to:
    {% extends "uploads/base.html" %} 
                                 ^

    Can confirm this is the answer. It is wild how long you can look at the same error and not notice the one space that is making you life hell. – Stefan Tobler Sep 13 '20 at 04:45

##django template root directory you can use sub directory template files

settings.py

make sure the "BASE_DIR" defined before use

Build paths inside the project like this: BASE_DIR / 'subdir'.

BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent

update 'DIRS': [BASE_DIR ,'templates'],

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [BASE_DIR ,'templates'],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
            ],
        },
    },
]

create template directory into your project root folder.

create sub directory inside the template folders. "blogs" is my sub directory

view.py

def post_list(request):
    posts = Post.published.all()
    return render(request,'blogs/post_list.html',{'posts':posts})
