Template does not exist after splitting the settings in Django

Question

This is my Traceback error: .

All was working well before I split the settings (development, production). Now I am having an issue with the template doesn't exist. Here are my settings files:

base_settings.py :

import os
from pathlib import Path

BASE_DIR = os.path.abspath(os.path.join(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)), 
'../../'))

INSTALLED_APPS = [

'accounts',
'stellar',
'stellar_sdk',
]

'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
]

ROOT_URLCONF = 'stellarLedger.urls'

TEMPLATES = [
{
    'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
    'DIRS': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates'),
    'APP_DIRS': True,
    'OPTIONS': {

            'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
            'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
        ],
    },
},
]
WSGI_APPLICATION = 'stellarLedger.wsgi.application'
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.smtp.EmailBackend'
EMAIL_HOST = 'smtp.gmail.com'
EMAIL_PORT = 587
EMAIL_HOST_USER = 'email username'
EMAIL_HOST_PASSWORD = 'password'
EMAIL_USE_TLS = True
LOGOUT_REDIRECT_URL = '/'
AUTH_USER_MODEL = "accounts.customUser"

development_settings.py

from .base_settings import *

SECRET_KEY = 'secret key'

DEBUG = True

ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['192.168.0.102', '127.0.0.1']

production_settings.py

from .base_settings import *

DEBUG = False

ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['mysite.com', 'ip.of.my.site', 'www.mysite.com', ]

What am I doing wrong here? The template that is not found is in root template directory.

here is my project structure:

• project/
  • project
    • init .py
    • settings
      • init .py
      • base_settings.py
      • development_settings.py
      • production_settings.py
    • wsgi.py
    • asgi.py
  • accounts
    • templates
      • accounts
        • test.html
  • templates
    • base.html
    • index.html
  • static

Answer 1

You changed the default name of settings.py . Revert back all the changes of settings.py and add this line after DEBUG = True :

productions_hosts = ['mysite.com', 'ip.of.my.site', 'www.mysite.com']
development_hosts = ['192.168.0.102', '127.0.0.1']

ALLOWED_HOSTS = development_hosts if DEBUG else productions_hosts

And one more thing, KEEP THE SECRET KEY SECRET!
