Realized I didn't send the actual traceback:

Could it be related to the solution found here: Django TemplateDoesNotExist?

That Solution:

chown -R www-data:www-data /usr/lib/python2.5/site-packages/projectname/*

If so, how would I do that in my non-server dev environment?

Hi,

I'd check your Django config:

• Is phone_field included in your settings.INSTALLED_APPS?
• Do you have your template loaders configured to look in app directories? https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/3.0/ref/templates/api/#django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader

[MBfromOK]

I am betting this is my fault; my app worked until I converted my phone number TextField to your phone_field...

Things I tried: I made migrations, migrated, and then deleted the db and started over. Upgraded to Python 3.8.2 64bit and 32bit I am running my project in a venv and I pip installed while the env was activated... Seems to work until I try to render the view.

INSTALLED_APPS:

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'phone_field',
    'products',
    'pages',
]

TEMPLATES:

TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')],
        'APP_DIRS': True,
        'OPTIONS': {
            'context_processors': [
                'django.template.context_processors.debug',
                'django.template.context_processors.request',
                'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
                'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
            ],
        },
    },
]

let me know if you need more / different information.

As I said, I am guessing your app is fine... Thanks for whatever help you provide!

[va-andrew]

1. Try setting 'DIRS': [], in your TEMPLATES setting so it is only relying on app dirs
2. Create a new Django project altogether django-admin startproject testproj and putting in the bare minimum (a simple model with a phone_field field and an admin or template view).

[MBfromOK]

There was something not setting correctly... again, probably something I did... Build a completely new project directory and then copy pasted my files back. Works like a dream!
