Revision history [back]

There could be several reasons why Django template is unable to locate the specified directory path:

1. Incorrect directory path: The directory path specified in settings.py may be incorrect or may contain typos. Double-check the directory path to ensure that it is accurate and points to the correct location.

2. Incorrect template tags: If you are using template tags to access files in your template, ensure that they are written correctly. Incorrect syntax or misspelled tags could prevent Django from finding the specified directory.

3. Permissions: The directory may not have proper read permissions, which would prevent Django from accessing it. Check the file permissions to ensure that they allow Django to read the directory.

4. Caching: If you have made changes to the directory path in settings.py recently, try clearing your Django cache. Sometimes, Django may continue to use the old settings until the cache is cleared.

5. Wrong template engine: If you are using a different template engine other than Django's, you may have to change the settings.py file to include the correct path to where the templates are stored.
