admin site not available after modifying base_site.html

[Eric G]

Hey everyone,

I was doing the "Writing your first Django App, part 2" tutorial when I got to the portion where I customize the project's template. I must have screwed up by overriding the base_site.html code in the source file with the default file. Now the 127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ site isn't available. How can I make the admin site accessible again? I changed the source file's base_site.html code to the one shown in here https://github.com/django/django/blob/master/django/contrib/admin/templates/admin/base_site.html

Now the 127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ site isn't available.

What happens when you try?

I'm on Google Chrome, so it reads, "This webpage is not available."

[Collin Anderson]

is your dev server (runserver) still running?

[François Schiettecatte]

This suggests the server is not running, can you get to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ ?

Did you make sure to uncomment the admin auto discover in urls.py and installed apps in settings? I find it easy to overlook those things and causes major headache.

So I'm supposed to modify the base.html file instead of the base-site.html file?

No, I can't get to that either.

I don't think so. The server was okay right until I made changes the base_site.html file.

Yeah, I checked, and those are uncommented.

Is there an error message on the runserver console? Or is it possible to start a new one?

[Eric G]

Yeah, I tried running the runserver.py script from the django-trunk file, and the error message was:

ImportError: Could not import settings 'myproject.settings.admin' (Is it on sys.path? Is there an import error in the settings file?): No module named myproject.settings.admin

You shouldn't need to run runserver.py directly. You should change into your project directory (where manage.py lives) and use:

python manage.py runserver

[Collin Anderson]

seems to me it should be 'myproject.settings' instead of 'myproject.settings.admin'. what does it say in manage.py?
