Re: Beginner needing help with a TemplateDoesNotExist exception, when the file does exist.

Hi Martin

Thanks for this insight. I saw them placing templates outside the
project directory in the tutorial, so I thought that might be a common
thing to do. I am switching from php to python, so I'm learning a
lot. What you say does make sense from a SCM point of view. I am
assuming that most django'ers put their templates inside of the
project? The thing that really bugs me is that the site works
perfectly using the django web server, but when I deploy to apache
wsgi, it gives me that exception. I am almost thinking that it is my
apache virtual host config. Here it is if this can help anyone shine
some light onto this issue.

1 NameVirtualHost *
2 <VirtualHost *>
3
4 ServerName foo
5 DocumentRoot /media/PENDRIVE/Projects/foo/
6
7 <Directory /media/PENDRIVE/Projects/foo>
8 Order allow,deny
9 Allow from all
10 </Directory>

13 ErrorLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/foo-error.log

15 # Possible values include: debug, info, notice, warn, error,
crit,
16 # alert, emerg.
17 LogLevel warn
18
19 CustomLog ${APACHE_LOG_DIR}/foo.log combined

21 WSGIDaemonProcess foo python-path=/media/PENDRIVE/Projects/foo
22 WSGIProcessGroup foo
23 WSGIScriptAlias / /media/PENDRIVE/Projects/foo/deploy/
pinax.wsgi
24
25 </VirtualHost>

Thanks again

Cheers!
