TemplateDoesNotExist at /accounts/register/ Error
<p>So I am new to Django and am currently trying to build registration into my app. I have already followed this <a href="http://code.techandstartup.com/django/registration/#app-download" rel="nofollow">guide</a>. However I am running into an issue in which the application is not able to find the template somehow.</p>

<p>I have checked to make sure my URL are set and everything should be in order. I have spent the past 2 hours looking for a solution to this and nothing is working. </p>

<p>The things that gets me the most is that in the error I can see where it checks for the template in the exact place I have it yet I am still seeing the following next to the actual path in which this template should be.</p>

<p>Please help</p>

<p>Please check that you have defined TEMPLATES_DIRS properly</p>

<p>In Django 1.8 upwards:</p>

<pre><code>TEMPLATES = [
    {
        'DIRS': [
            # insert your TEMPLATE_DIRS here (absolute path)
        ],
    },
]
</code></pre>
