Simply workaround without installed Mezzanine patching Just temporary add line TEMPLATE_DIRS = [TEMPLATES[0]['DIRS'][0]] to settings.py file execute collect_templates command and remove added line after it. Profit!

Go to mezzanine/core/management/commands/collecttemplates.py

Edit line 42, make it say to_dir = settings.TEMPLATES[0][“DIRS”][0]
