Post #362

https://stackoverflow.com/questions/30288351/how-to-setup-django-1-8-to-use-jinja2 The #Jinja template folder for app dirs defaults to #jinja2 not the standard templates folder. So try the following directory structure and #Django will locate your Jinja #templates: mysite mysite myapp jinja2 myapp index.html manage.py And instead of: return render(request, 'myapp/index.html') you should write: return render(request, 'index.html')
