Django template not found in main project directory error

I am getting a 'template not found' error, although I've set up a correct template hierarchy (or so I thought)

At first I set up templates/base but that did not work. So I made it as you see here: templates/twinja/base

Ideally I'm setting up the MAIN template files which are independent of apps, which I thought was meant to go in the main folder (where settings.py is) but perhaps I am mistake.

Yes, I have 'twinja' set up in installed apps as well.

What appears to be wrong here?

TemplateDoesNotExist at /
twinja/base.html

If your template is independent of apps, it shouldn't be in your app folder - namespace it accordingly.

How do you load your template? Did you setup your templates/staticfolders in your settings.py?

Updated.

For the fresh project you need to configure your settings.py file. Read here, ask away if you still have a question.

Updated.

After you get familiar with static files and how to manage those, spend some time here.
