So is the file in /home/Desktop/projects/purple/purple/templates/ named "register.html" or "registration.html"? - radicalbiscuit
Go to the directory, and see if the file exists. cd /home/Desktop/projects/purple/purple/templates/ - Yuji 'Tomita' Tomita
I can saw with cd in terminal file is exist - user1835661
I can't tell you for sure, since i'm a rookie o Django, but don't you need to insert the templates directory on TEMPLATE_DIRS on settings.py configuration file? - Sammy

Given that the exception copy and pasted refers to:

/home/Desktop/projects/purple/purple/templates/registration.html

and can't find it... all of your problems lie in whether or not registration.html exists at the directory.

There are 2 possibilities:

  1. File doesn't exist
    cd into that exact directory and find out if it does.

  2. Permissions
    ls -lh /home/Desktop/projects/purple/purple/templates/registration.html

Make sure it's readable.

chmod 644 /home/Desktop/projects/purple/purple/templates/registration.html

do you have Registration directory inside Template directory??

if so then include this is your settings.py .

 TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
      BASE_DIR +'/Templates',
      BASE_DIR +'/registration',

  )

Because django is looking for registration.html in your Template directory instead of /template/registration.

see the order you mentioned in the question. watch the path.
