Question

Basically, I’ve been following the tutorial but I am stuck when it comes to getting the admin page to work.

The error I get is: The requested URL /admin/ was not found on this server.
So I looked at lots of forums and quite a few stackoverflow question but since I am a complete newbie so I don’t understand half of them and the other half’s solution doesn’t solve my problem.

This is what my settings.py looks like:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.sites',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    # Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
    'django.contrib.admin',
    # Uncomment the next line to enable admin documentation:
    'django.contrib.admindocs',
    'polls'
)

This is what my urls.py looks like:

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url


# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:

from django.contrib import admin

admin.autodiscover()


urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # Examples:
    # url(r'^$', 'BoE.views.home', name='home'),
    # url(r'^BoE/', include('BoE.foo.urls')),

    # Uncomment the admin/doc line below to enable admin documentation:
    url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),

    # Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

Did you get the “Welcome to Django” page when you when to http:// 127 0 0 1:8000? (with dots)

Are you going to http:// 127 0 0 1:8000/admin/ ?

Did everything from tutorial part one work? Did you see the items in the database?

In the below comments, we figured that the problem was not with Django, as he had the exact same code that I had (and mine worked). He had to go to wiki.bitnami.org/Components/Django and follow the instructions there
