Issues regarding Templates in Django

I am developing an app for User Registration and Login.I have made the Registration form and now i am now wants to make a login page,for that reason i have made a login.html file and now i want it to be placed in the templates. Thus I create a directory and placed it in that directory home/html/templates/registration/login.html

The Template_dir=() in settings.py file is as:

    TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
        '/home/html/templates',
    )

The view file as

from django.template import  loader
from registration.models import Registration
from django.http import HttpResponse

def login(request):
    t = loader.get_template('registration/login.html')
    return HttpResponse()

But when I am trying to run this file as localhost:8000/registration/login.html I am getting the 404 error Page not found

the url given in url.py file is as:

url(r'^registration/$', 'registration.views.login'),

Django does not serve html files itself. Templates must be rendered and returned as HttpResponse on a view.py.

So try:

from django.shortcuts import render

def login(request):
    return render(request, 'registration/login.html')

And localhost:8000/registration/ will return you a login page.

See docs for more info about shortcuts functions and template language

You are getting 404 because you are trying to access localhost:8000/registration/login.html while you defined url as url(r'^registration/$', 'registration.views.login'),.

String rather regex in first part in definition in urls.py should match the URL that you access from browser.

In your case you should access localhost:8000/registration/.

Also, you should be returning proper http response rather than empty HttpResponse.
