My template folder is at the same place my manage.py is and in the base.py I have specified the Templates DIRS as DIRS:[os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'templates)].How can i  solve this problem?

Hi,

1) Its pretty obvious that the django is not able to find the required file in the given file path, so please it. 

2) As far as I know, the django 1.11 is supported by Python 3.6. So,  I would recommend you to go through the release notes of the 1.11 and use the recommended system configuration, otherwise if you put the code in prod env things may go hey-wire. For your confirmation, please take 2nd opinion on this part before you take any decision.

You could try and convert the Windows pathnames from backslashes to
forward slashes.

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

My own Windows equivalent is ...

TEMPLATES = [ { 'BACKEND':
'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates', 'DIRS': [
os.path.join(APPS_ROOT, 'templates/').replace('\\', '/'), ], 'APP_DIRS':
True, 'OPTIONS': { 'context_processors': [
'django.template.context_processors.debug',
'django.template.context_processors.request',
'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
'django.template.context_processors.i18n',
'django.template.context_processors.media',
'django.template.context_processors.static',
'django.template.context_processors.tz',
'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages', ], }, }, ]
