I got error when working on "Writing your first Django app, part 5" of tutorial

[truongtronghai]

When I run below command
>>> response = client.get('/')
I got error "module 'django.conf.global_settings' has no attribute 'ROOT_URLCONF'"

Please give me advice to solve it. Thanks

It seems you need to point your Django project to your urls.py file. See: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/settings/#root-urlconf

This should point to your urls.py file, the file containing the `urlpatterns` variable, which is a list of `path()` statements.

For example if your urls.py file is in `/myapp/urls.py`, in your settings.py you should write: `ROOT_URLCONF = myapp.urls`.

ROOT_URLCONF ideally point to the top level project urls.py if you have
one - if you point it to an app's urls.py - you have to them make sure
you link that app back to all the other (which sort of defeats the point
of the app) - and make sure that something you refers forward to the
admin urls.

It is better to point it too the top level urls.py.

'django-admin startproject blah' builds a default : ROOT_URL_CONF =
'blah.urls' which should be sufficient unless you are doing something odd.
