Template Does not Exist on IIS+Django - django

Question

After the deployment process of my Django website on IIS i am getting an error like below,
TemplateDoesNotExist at /test/new_site/list/
Template-loader postmortem
Django tried loading these templates, in this order:
Using engine django:
django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader: D:\workspace\One_Site_Project\env_one_site_37\lib\site-packages\django\contrib\admin\templates\test\new_site_list.html (Source does not exist)
django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader: D:\workspace\One_Site_Project\env_one_site_37\lib\site-packages\django\contrib\auth\templates\test\new_site_list.html (Source does not exist)
django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader: D:\workspace\One_Site_Project\env_one_site_37\lib\site-packages\rest_framework\templates\test\new_site_list.html (Source does not exist)
I don't know why IIS is searching my templates files in virtualenv directory.
My view rendering code is,
#method_decorator(csrf_exempt, name='dispatch')
class NewSiteListUpdate(View):
"""
This class is used to list all the new site activity, also update an activity
"""
def get(self, request, *args, **kwargs):
"""
List all the activity info or a particular activity info
:param request:
:param args:
:param kwargs:
:return:
"""
if request.user.is_staff:
self.data = ActivityInformation.objects.all()
self.radius = 11111
return render(request, 'test/new_site_list.html', {'data': self.data})
Below is my template settings in settings.py file,
TEMPLATES = [
{
'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
'DIRS': [BASE_DIR + '/template/'],
'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',
],
# 'builtins': [
# 'src.huawei.templatetags.custom_tags'
# ],
'libraries':{
'custom_tags': 'templatetags.custom_tags',
},
},
},
]
Below is my project structure,
This is working fine in my local system. I tried to add the template folder in to the virtual directory also, but no use, still the same error is showing. I followed this tutorial in order to set up my application on IIS.
I am using python 3.7 and IIS 8.5
I spend my two days for solving this issue but i did not find any solution related to this.
Any help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in Advance.

I think that you have to modify some part in your code
settings.py
try to change 'DIRS': [BASE_DIR + '/template/'], to 'DIRS'=[os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'template'), ]
views.py
The path made by the render function will be : ../template/huawei/new_site_list.html but in your project structure your don't have a folder huawei. You must write : return render(request, 'test/new_site_list.html', {'data': self.data})
