Templates Django (Does not exist at/)

I'm trying to use the Django templates but i cant even display a simple html line i don't understand why... I searched to resolve it but after many test, the problem remains.

This is my structure:

enter image description here

My urls.py (which work i tried it with another fonction in views.py):

from django.conf.urls import patterns,include, url
from django.contrib import admin

urlpatterns = patterns('polls.views',

         url(r'^$', 'home', name = 'home'),
         url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

My views.py:

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.template import Template , Context

# Create your views here.
# -*- coding: utf-8 -*-

def home(request):
    return render(request, 'mysite/bap2pmonitoring.html')

My setting file setting.py:

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates'],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
            ],
        },
    },
]

My simple html doc:

<h1> BAP2P Monitoring </h1>

And the output finally my main problem :

you are missing to add your app in

INSTALLED_APPS = [ 'mysite', 'django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.messages', 'django.contrib.staticfiles', ]

in settings.py.

TEMPLATE_DIRS setting is deprecated in django 1.8. You should use the TEMPLATES instead.

The TEMPLATES variable is exists in the default settings.py file so find it and alter the 'DIRS' key:

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        ...
        'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')],
        ...
    },
]

P.S: Please edit your question instead of adding an answer to your question with a question :P

Coming to the error,

From your directory structure, you have two template directories, one in the main project and other in the polls app at mysite/polls/mysite/. Django is looking for templates in the project templates i.e.,

/home/florian/Documents/mysite/templates/mysite/bap2pmonitoring.html

but you have your template in

/home/florian/Documents/mysite/polls/templates/mysite/bap2pmonitoring.html

Put your templates in the main project template directory and it should work.

It has a typo with the closing bracket. so the syntax error

use this

'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')],
