Q&A for work

I am trying to work towards deploying my application and have done most of my work on Windows. However now that I have moved it over to AWS it does not work anymore.

Before anyone links other articles here is a list of all the things I have tried:

Like I said earlier, it works on my Windows machine, just not on AWS or my Mac. Even more strange is that the error says

Django tried loading these templates, in this order:
Using engine django:
    * django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader: /opt/bitnami/apps/django/django_projects/goFiles/uploads/templates/uploads/base.html  (Source does not exist)
    * django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader: /opt/bitnami/apps/django/django_projects/goFiles/uploads/templates/uploads/base.html  (Source does not exist)
    * django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader: /opt/bitnami/python/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/templates/uploads/base.html  (Source does not exist)
    * django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader: /opt/bitnami/python/lib/python3.8/site-packages/django/contrib/auth/templates/uploads/base.html  (Source does not exist)
And /opt/bitnami/apps/django/django_projects/goFiles/uploads/templates/uploads/base.html is the correct absolute path to the template I am looking for. If I try to cat that file, using that absolute path, it prints to stdout. All this being said I will include some of my code for critical review.

If I need to include any more information I am happy to do so. Any help would be much appreciated.
you have put extra space at the end of extends i manually tried that django won't allow any extra spaces
from:
    {% extends "uploads/base.html "%} 
    {% extends "uploads/base.html" %} 
                Can confirm this is the answer. It is wild how long you can look at the same error and not notice the one space that is making you life hell.

##django template root directory you can use sub directory template files
settings.py
make sure the "BASE_DIR" defined before use
Build paths inside the project like this: BASE_DIR / 'subdir'.
BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent
update    'DIRS': [BASE_DIR ,'templates'],
TEMPLATES = [
        'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
        'DIRS': [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',
create template directory into your project root folder.
create sub directory inside the template folders.
"blogs" is my sub directory
view.py
def post_list(request):
    posts = Post.published.all()
    return render(request,'blogs/post_list.html',{'posts':posts})
