I am trying Django for an upcoming project and going through a tutorial and running into issue with defining URL paths. Below is the project structure showing the urls.py at the project root.
The urls.py in my timer package is pretty simple:
from django.urls import path
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.index, name='index'),
]
However when I launch the application and navigate to localhost:8080/timer/ I am getting a 404. Any suggestions what I should be looking at?
You can try to change URLs in the settings of the whole project like this:
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
url(r'^timer/$', include('timer.urls')),
]
As for the timer, the URLs will be like this:
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', views.index, name="index"),
]
Don't forget about r's in the url().
It turns out that I created the urls.py under a wrong folder. I misunderstood the instructions and created the urls.py in the same folder as manage.py. Once I add the new url pattern in the file projectdb/projectgb/urls.py, the issue is fixed. Thanks.

first sorry for my bad English
When I run my server, I want to Django redirect me to http://127.0.0.1:8000/home instead of http://127.0.0.1:8000.
what should I do?
Try to define urlpatterns in urls.py file like this:
urlpatterns = [
path('', RedirectView.as_view(url='home', permanent=False),
name='redirect'),
path('home/', MainView.as_view(), name='index'),
]
I hope it will work for you.
I am trying to attach hobbieswithCSS.html file to my website, while using Django. I am a beginner when it comes to Django, so I have naturally came across some problems (in the title) like this.
I have this anchor tag on my homepage -
My Hobbies
I have this view in my views.py file -
def hobbieswithCSS(request):
return render(request,'basic_app/hobbieswithCSS.html')
I think, that the main problem will be with the urlpatterns in urls.py file, because I am not sure how to set it up. These are my urlpatterns -
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
url(r'^basic_app/',include('basic_app.urls')),
url(r'^logout/$',views.user_logout,name='logout'),
url(r'^$', views.hobbieswithCSS, name='hobbieswithCSS'),
]
Could anybody please tell me, how could I change the code in order to make that hobbieswithCSS.html file display, when I am trying to run it on my server?
It must be:
My Hobbies
Without basic_app.
Also you have the same path for index and hobbies . You have to change your url path:
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),
...
url(r'^hobbies/$', views.hobbieswithCSS, name='hobbieswithCSS'),
]
in your template update to
My Hobbies
I have a simple django project
structure is
examp-
exam
polls
templates
exam was the name of the project and polls is the name of the first app
I have the following code in exam/urls.py
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('polls/',include('polls.urls')),
]
and the following code in polls/urls.py
from django.urls import path
from views.polls import index
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.index, name='index'),
]
and i am getting the following error when i try to runserver
The included URLconf module 'polls.urls from
'/home/grr/Documents/examp/polls/urls.py'>' does not appear to have
any patterns in it. If you see valid patterns in the file then the
issue is probably caused by a circular import.
in polls/urls.py
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.index, name='index'),
]
And put index function in polls/views.py
with considering above answer code , and changing the first line using nameapp instead of "." without any error i could run my code successfully
from nameapp import views
I believe this is a simple question but I am having a hard time figuring out why this is not working.
I have a django project and I've added a second app (sales). Prior to the second app, my urls.py simply routed everything to the first app (chart) with the following:
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('', include('chart.urls')),
]
and it worked fine.
I have read the docs over and over a looked at many tutorials, so my impression is that I can simply amend the urls.py to include:
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('sales/', include('sales.urls')),
path('', include('chart.urls')),
]
and it should first look for a url with sales/ and if it finds that then it should route it to sales.urls, and if it doesn't find that then move on and route it to chart.urls. However, when I load this and type in 127.0.0.1:8000/sales, it returns the following error:
Page not found (404)
Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/sales/
Raised by: chart.views.index
which tells me that it is not routing my sales/ url to sales.urls but to chart.urls. When I change path('', include('chart.urls')), to path('', include('sales.urls')), it does route it to sales.urls so I know that my sales.urls file is set up correctly.
I know this is probably an easy question but I cannot figure it out with anything I've read. Any help is appreciated.
chart.urls:
from django.urls import path, re_path
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
path('dashboard/', views.chart, name='dashboard'),
path('', views.index, name='index', kwargs={'pagename': ''}),
path('<str:pagename>/', views.index, name='index'),
]
sales.urls:
from django.urls import path
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
path('sales/', views.sales, name='Sales Dashboard'),
]
I think the correct url for the sales page in your case would be http://127.0.0.1:8000/sales/sales/.
This is because sales/ is then looking in the included sales.urls and not finding any urls at the root / (the only url included there is at sales/ (within sales/) so will be sales/sales/
Reply to an OLD question but may be useful for others...
from django.urls import path, include
dont for get to import include
Do this:
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
url(r'^', include('chart.urls')),
url(r'^sales/', include('sales.urls')),
]
you are not doing it properly since you are not telling your app where go once it is loaded .this r'^' to go directly to chart.url url(r'^', include('chart.urls')),
Why does the python code below crash my website?
But the code at the very bottom does not crash the website
Here is the code that crashes the website:
from django.urls import path, include
from django.contrib import admin
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('', include('learning_logs.urls')),
]
Here is the code that does not crash:
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
]
Thank you
You have a space between url and patterns. It should be all one word urlpatterns.
If you ever need to check the code for any of the other exercises in that book, they're all on github here.
I got to this point in the Crash Course, this area will break your site, temporarily. You will not have made all the files referenced in your code yet. In this case, you haven't made the urls.py file in learning_logs. After this is made, you will not have updated your views.py nor made your index.html template. Keep going, it should be resolved later. See also: https://ehmatthes.github.io/pcc/chapter_18/README.html#updates
