Page 404 error after running Django server

[Deepti sharma]

Hi, I have just started learning django and was trying to make a meeting planner project y folllowing a course.

I updated the setting.py file to add website into Instaled_Apps. Then have written a function named welcome in views.py

Finally I added it's entry into urls.py fie

But when I run the server, I am getting following error on webpage:

Page not found (404)

Request Method:	GET
Request URL:	http://127.0.0.1:8000/

Using the URLconf defined in meeting_planner.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:

1. admin/
2. welcome.html/

The empty path didn't match any of these.

You're seeing this error because you have DEBUG = True in your Django settings file. Change that to False, and Django will display a standard 404 page.

Can someone please help me with this? I am stuck.

This is my code:  (meeting_planner/website/views.py):

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.http import HttpRequest
# Create your views here.

def welcome(request):
    return HttpRequest("Welcome to the Meeting Planner Website!")

(meeting_planner/meeting_planer/urls.py):

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
from website import views
from django.conf.urls import url,include

from website.views import welcome

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('welcome.html', welcome)
]

There are lots of issues with urls.py

Please go through the django documents on how to write urls.py

path('welcome.html', welcome)

should be :

path('', welcome)

Hi, I did replace it with: path('',welcome)

But it's still no working:

Page not found (404)

Request Method:	GET
Request URL:	http://127.0.0.1:8000/welcome

Using the URLconf defined in meeting_planner.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:

1. admin/

The current path, welcome, didn't match any of these.

You're seeing this error because you have DEBUG = True in your Django settings file. Change that to False, and Django will display a standard 404 page.

Please import HttpResponse , 

HttpRequest will not work

I just realized that the view is returning an HttpRequest.  It should be an HttpResponse object (and the import should be changed to bring that object in as well).

Hi! you're just visiting a different url from what you specified in your "urls.py" file.

look closely at the routes "django" is telling you that it tried:

[admin/, welcome.html/]

... these are truly the two paths that you specified, why on earth are you trying to visit a non-existing path(http://127.0.0.1:8000/)

... kindly visit (http://127.0.0.1:8000/welcome.html)

and face your next error in the "views.py" file ('HttpRequest' instead of 'HttpResponse')

[Deepti sharma]

Thanks everyone.

I updated HttpRequest with HttpResponse.

Then in urls.py:

I did:

path(‘’, views.welcome)

Its working now
