Django 1.7 tutorial part 4, url

[Daniel Altschuler]

I ran into the following problem with the tutorial.

When I'm at http://127.0.0.1:8000/polls/1/, I get the expected page:

What's up?

 Not much
 The sky


However when I try to vote I get the error 

Page not found (404)

Request Method:	POST
Request URL:	http://127.0.0.1:8000/polls/1/vote/

No Question matches the given query.

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.

After some time I found that something is wrong with the urls. My polls/urls.py file was:

-----------------

from django.conf.urls import patterns, url

from polls import views

urlpatterns = patterns('',

    # ex: /polls/

    url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),

    # ex: /polls/5/

    url(r'^(?P<question_id>\d+)/$', views.detail, name='detail'),

    url(r'^(?P<begins_with>\S+)/$', views.search, name='search'),

    # ex: /polls/5/results/

    url(r'^(?P<question_id>\d+)/results/$', views.results, name='results'),

    # ex: /polls/5/vote/

    url(r'^(?P<question_id>\d+)/vote/$', views.vote, name='vote'),

)

------------------

If I remove the "/" after "vote", then everything works. I had the same error when attempting to view the results, so I also

removed the "/" after results. My urls.py now looks like

    ...

    # ex: /polls/5/results

    url(r'^(?P<question_id>\d+)/results$', views.results, name='results'),

    # ex: /polls/5/vote

    url(r'^(?P<question_id>\d+)/vote$', views.vote, name='vote'),

   ...

Can someone explain me what is going on? thanks.

Note that the file mysite/urls.py is:

----------

from django.conf.urls import patterns, url

from polls import views

urlpatterns = patterns('',

    # ex: /polls/

    url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),

    # ex: /polls/5/

    url(r'^(?P<question_id>\d+)/$', views.detail, name='detail'),

    url(r'^(?P<begins_with>\S+)/$', views.search, name='search'),

    # ex: /polls/5/results

    url(r'^(?P<question_id>\d+)/results$', views.results, name='results'),

    # ex: /polls/5/vote

    url(r'^(?P<question_id>\d+)/vote$', views.vote, name='vote'),

)

Hi,

That seems strange. The error says that there's no question with id=1. Are you sure there's a question with id=1?

The ending slash seems important to me. I don't know why it would work without it.

Do you have APPEND_SLASH=False in your settings?
