Courses Plus Student 2,645 PointsTemplate does not exist?
I have followed the video correctly I believe and when i run my development server http://127.0.0.1:8000/courses I get an error that says Template does not exist. I checked through my files and I cant seem to figure it out. I also get these errors:
Using engine django:
django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader: /home/dylan/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/templates/courses/course_list.html (Source does not exist) django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader: /home/dylan/anaconda3/lib/python3.6/site-packages/django/contrib/auth/templates/courses/course_list.html (Source does not exist) django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader: /home/dylan/learning_site/courses/templates/courses/course_list.html (Source does not exist)

7,324 PointsHi Dylan,
can you post the code where you call the template? You are probably only missing a small thing.
The error message above tells you where Django is looking for the templates. Look closely at the path /home/dylan/learning_site/courses/templates/courses/course_list.html and compare it to the code where you call the template.
My typical mistake is to write something like 'course_list.html' when I should write 'courses/course_list.html'
