Django finding the path of the file problem

skin
  -mysite
      -myapp
         -templates
             -index.html
         -mysite
             -urls.py
             -settings.py
         -admin.py
         -views.py

I create the virtual environment in 

~/home/env

and the index.html is located in 

/home/jake/Gits/skin/mysite/myapp/templates/index.html 



views.py 
from django.shortcuts import render, render_to_response


# Create your views here.
def index(request):
    return render_to_response('index.html')



url.py

from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.contrib import admin
from myapp import views as v
urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    url(r'^$', v.index),
]



index.html
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <title>Title</title>
</head>
<body>

</body>
</html>

In right way your project directory structure should look like this:

YourFolder

-Yourapp

-urls.py

-settings.py

-templates

index.html

-staticfiles
-manage.py

It seems that your variable in settings.py(BASE_DIR) - home/You/Gits/skin/mysite/. There is 2 solution. 1.Change your BASE_DIR variable. 2. change your templates location.

But my advice, create project properly according to documentation.

With minimal change .. 

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        ...., ## Your other settings
        'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates'),'templates'], ## Little change here
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        ...., ## Your other settings
    },
]

Please let me know if there is still an error.
