cant upload file in google app engine

Question

I don't know why I cant upload my file? When I hit submit instead of redirecting to the default page(which is http://localhost:8082) , it redirects to http://localhost:8082/sign. I didn't build no such path, so it return link broken. Here's my html:

<form action="/sign" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
                <div><label>Excel file submit:</label></div>
                <div><input type="file" name="excel"/></div>
                <div><input type="submit" value="Upload file"></div>
            </form>

my app.yaml:

application: engineapp01
version: 1
runtime: python
api_version: 1

handlers:
- url: /js
  static_dir: js
- url: /css
  static_dir: css
- url: .*

Why are you sending the form data to a page that doesn't exist?

Try changing the HTML to:

<form action="/" enctype="multipart/form-data" method="post">
...

...since "/" is where your form-handling code resides.
