Can you show your urls? I expect the one for 'welcome site' matches
the url for the admin site before the admin url is tested, and so is
routed there instead.

My urls is：

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url

# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:

from django.contrib import admin

admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',

    # Examples:

    # url(r'^$', 'test6.views.home', name='home'),

    # url(r'^test6/', include('test6.foo.urls')),

    # Uncomment the admin/doc line below to enable admin documentation:

    # url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),

    # Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:

    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),

)

Just uncommented three sentences.

This looks ok. Try typing in a nonsense url like http://localhost:8000/hi

It won't match anything, but it will list the available urls that you
have. This may give you a clue as to what is going wrong
