First tutorial - 404

[Steve Booth]

I've been Googling on this for several hours.  Time to ask.

I'm just trying to run through the very first tutorial, and frankly, it's been a nightmare. Running under Fedora 18, Python 2.7, Django version is 1.4.5.

So, I got the 1.4 tutorial up, created the site.. all works fine.  Fire up the server -- looks great.  Browse to http://127.0.0.1:800..

And I do NOT get the nice, blue Django page, I get a Page Not Found 404 error telling me the URLconf in mysite.urls does not match '^admin/'

Well... YEA!  So either the 1.4 tutorial doc's are wrong, or the default site doesnt work, or I dont know what I'm doing.

Any help would be greatly appreciated. 

I shouldn't have to be asking this ... it should just work.

The tutorial for 1.4 can be found here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/intro/tutorial01/ (For other versions, just change the 1.4 in that URL to the version you'd like). I am curious, is there a reason you want to continue learning with 1.4, like you are stuck with it for some reason? If not, why not just upgrade? (I'm sure you'd have thought about this, but as I said, I'm curious :))

You're right!!

How do you installed Django 1.4? did you a 'pip install django==1.4'?

I did installed via pip and gave the same result as yours. That is because the version installed via pip have the admin url configured by default. Please, edit your mysite/urls.py, and comment line 11 to be like this:

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

then reload your page and continue with the tutorial.
