I am trying to build a website with Django. I am new to Django and have followed the Tango with Django tutorial. I keep getting an URlconf error I do not understand. I have a domain (www.example.com), an app (mainApp) and two views in mainApp (homePage, registration). I want
- http://www.example.com to be matched with the homePage view
- http://www.example.com/registration/ to be matched with the registration view.
My urls.py file for the project is
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin
urlpatterns = patterns(
'',
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
url(r'^', include('mainApp.urls')),
)
The urls.py file for mainApp is
from django.conf.urls import patterns, url
from mainApp import views
urlpatterns = patterns(
'',
url(r'^$', views.homePage, name='homePage'),
url(r'^registration/$', views.registration, name='registration'),
)
This configuration displays the homePage view correctly, but not the registration view. The error is:
Using the URLconf defined in myProject.urls, Django tried these URL
patterns, in this order:
^admin/
^$
^/
The current URL, registration/, didn't match any of these.
What causes the error?
