Error when redirecting after login in Django 1.2

Question

I've been getting this error:

The requested admin page does not exist.

I've got a view at the URL /members/ which is protected by @login_required. When I'm not logged-in and visit the /members/ URL, I get redirected to:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/login/?next=/members/

When I enter my login credentials and click "Log in", I get that error (only when DEBUG is True, otherwise I get a 404), and I'm still at the address:

http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/login/?next=/members/

Some comments I've found about this seem to be to do with the order in which I add bits to my urlpatterns, but that doesn't seem to make any difference.

Any other ideas?

My urls.py looks roughly like this:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^$', 'myproject.views.homepage', {}, 'homepage'),
    # some other stuff
)

urlpatterns += patterns('',
    (r'^members/', include('members.urls', namespace = u'members', app_name = u'members')),
)

urlpatterns += patterns('',
    (r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)), 
)

Let me know if there's anything else that might help me work out what's wrong!

Answer 1

Is there a reason why your user login URL is the same as the admin app's login URL? Is this by design?

Originally there was only the admin app that needed a login. This is my first foray on this project into non-admin login_required views. I will move this soonish - could this be causing the problem?

Looks like that is the case, though I don't know the details. I tried it out in one of my projects http://localhost:8000/admin/login/?next=/valid_url/ and got the same error.

Solution: use a different view for user login.
