Greetings Everyone! Need help ! I got the learning_site/courses/ to run but I cannot run the home.html. It says "TemplateDoesNotExist at/"
\learning_site\courses\templates\home.html (Source does not exist) Did I do something wrong?
Thank you

In the future, you will totally appreciate Django's namespace model as it will protect you from having "name collisions".
The template just cannot be found by Django's render() where you have it currently located.
Place "home.html" so that its path is-- "\learning_site\courses\templates\courses\home.html"
...and then refer to it with "courses/home.html"
def home_view(request):
return render(request, "courses/home.html")
Django has a bit of a learning curve, but well worth the effort!
