Django admin url.py

Question

Hi all,

Im following the Django tutorial, and ive got up to part 4. But when i went back to have a look at my admin page it mysteriously didnt work anymore. So i messed around a bit more and came up with this.

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from django.contrib import admin

admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^admin/(.*)', admin.site.root),
    #(r'^polls/', include('mysite.polls.urls')),
)

now i can get to my admin page, but if i uncomment out the url to my views (i have another urls.py in the mysite subfolder the admin doesnt work. and it comes back with the following error.

Request Method:     GET
Request URL:    http://192.168.0.5:9000/admin/
Exception Type:     TemplateSyntaxError
Exception Value:

Allso my views work fine with the admin url commented out. No errors.

Answer 1

Your problem is not inside urls.py

Tried vote in module mysite.polls.views. Error was: 'module' object has no attribute 'vote'

How does your mysite.polls.views look like?

this may help you

Answer 2

Check mysite.polls.urls. It appears you have a line in that urls.py file that references a view function called vote that does not exist in mysite.polls.views.
