Having trouble with Django tutorial

[Yves S. Garret]

Hi all,

I'm going through this tutorial:

https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.10/intro/tutorial01/

And the problem that I'm having is when I start the 'polls' application from inside my project and then go to localhost:8000/polls, I get a 404.

Page not found (404)

Request Method:	GET
Request URL:	http://localhost:8000/polls

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

1. ^admin/

The current URL, polls, didn't match any of these.

I did everything as the tutorial told me, so I'm a little bit lost as to why this is happening.  Thanks in advance.

Did you do this step?

The next step is to point the root URLconf at the polls.urls module. Inmysite/urls.py, add an import for django.conf.urls.include and insert an include() in the urlpatterns list, so you have:

mysite/urls.py

from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.contrib import admin

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^polls/', include('polls.urls')),
    url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
]

How does your learning_python.urls look like?

Like this:

from django.conf.urls import include, url

from django.contrib import admin

urlpatterns = [

  url(r'^polls/', urls),

  url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),

]

Is there a way to print out strings to indicate where the problem is?

[Vijay Khemlani]

You should import the polls urls as it appears in the tutorial

url(r'^polls/', include('polls.urls')),

[Yves S. Garret]

This is what I have:

from django.conf.urls import include, url

from django.contrib import admin

urlpatterns = [

  url(r'^polls/', include('polls.urls')),

  url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),

]

I'm still encountering the same problem.

[Yves S. Garret]

Is this learning_python/urls.py or learning_python/learning_python/urls.py?

[Vijay Khemlani]

Starting from the project root (the directory that contains your
manage.py file), that project's main url file should be in

learning_python/urls.py

also, there should be only two urls.py in your project directory, the
one for the project and the other inside the polls app.

[Yves S. Garret]

Yes, that did it. I placed the file into learning_python/learning_python and everything just worked.

Thank you
