It looks like you have the project name in the view, which suggests the
current working directory of the project is one directory too high.
Could you show the directory layout, including the location of
settings.py, admin.py for the app and views.py.

What it is having a hard time finding is 

So

http://127.0.0.1:8000/source-code/c++ works

and http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ actually works too

But when I try and access anything inside the admin I get article not found.

Now, and this might be interesting if I go http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/sfsdfdsfsfd just doing gibberish it gives me the ArticleNotFound, as opposed to say 404, which it does if you do something that violates urlconf.  So basically the database got corrupted somehow is that what happened?

ah, got it... your

url(r'^(\S+)/(\S+)', 'tacobakedotnet.dotnet_forms.views.home'),

is too permisive

maybe?

Yes. \S+/\S+ will match <anything>/<anything>. Since /admin doesn't
contain a slash (other than the leading slash, which isn't considered),
it works fine. But /admin/whatever will get directed to your
tacobakedotnet.dotnet_forms.views.home view because it matches the URL
pattern. An easy fix would be to make sure your admin URL pattern comes
first in the list.

And actually, \S matches forward slashes, so even something like
/one/two/foo/bar would match.

Yes, and this is a little embarrassing I was missing a line from the debugging output.

/home/tacobake/Source Code/Python (Komodo)/tacobakedotnet/../tacobakedotnet/dotnet_forms/views.py in home

58.             article = Article.objects.get(menu__menu_title = menu, article_title__startswith=item)  

So that is where the word "Article" comes from in the earlier error message.

Now having said that I believe it is the permissiveness of the \S+ \S+ which may very well be what the problem is, I am going to change it but I need to learn a bit more first.  Basically I need the best way to pass a pair of options to the view function, which also just happen to be the URL, I was reading about it in the basic documentation for urls.  I do appreciate everyone's help.

Like if I set it to:

url(r'^source-code/(\S+)', ...) that is not dynamic enough for the view function, "Source Code" or source-code being the menu_title.

[Scott Somers]

here we go I actually had a typo that slipped in, everything is working perfectly now thanks again to everyone.

urlpatterns = patterns('',

    (r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT }),

)

urlpatterns += patterns('',

    url(r'^$', 'tacobakedotnet.dotnet_forms.views.home'),                        

    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),  <--- had a $ here

    url(r'^(\S+)/(\S+)', 'tacobakedotnet.dotnet_forms.views.home'),

[Nikolas Stevenson-Molnar]

One thing you might consider is using a prefix for article URLs so that  you can more easily differentiate them from other URLs. For example: r'^articles/(\S+)/(\S+)' . Then, rather than a URL like /source-code/c++, you'd have /articles/source-code/c++.
