Hi I am using following URL patterns in django and I am wondering that where is problem and why it is not able to find it. Following screenshot shows my URL as well as expected URLs.
enter image description here

Please tell that where I am making mistake. Please tell if some thing else I can tell to understand problem. I was looking on it for almost an hour or 2 and then I posted it on stackoverflow.com so hope I will get some solution.

Adding urls.py here:

from django.conf.urls.defaults 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'^$', 'ecomstore.views.home', name='home'),
#url(r'^catalog/', 'preview.views.home'),

# url(r'^ecomstore/', include('ecomstore.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)),
 url(r'',include('catalog.urls')),
  )

Then urls.py of catalog app:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
urlpatterns=patterns('catalog.views',
    (r'^$','index',{'template_name':'catalog/index.html'},'catalog_home'),
    (r'^category/(?P<category_slug>[-\w]+)/$','show_category',{'template_name':'catalog/category.html'},'catalog_category'),
    (r'^product/(?P<product_slug>[-_\w+])/$','show_product',{'template_name':'catalog/product.html'},'catalog_product'),

)

thanks in advance guys.

    referring to my comment: at least one thing wrong is that you have an extra slash before “product”. You want ^product, not ^/product. That might be all but it’s a little hard to tell from the pic.

    also, correct me if I’m wrong, because I haven’t used regexes in a while, but doesn’t [-_\w+] only match – OR _ OR \w+?

    “[ ]

    Match anything inside the square brackets for ONE character position once and only once, for example, [12] means match the target to 1 and if that does not match then match the target to 2 while [0123456789] means match to any character in the range 0 to 9.”

    so you’d want… [-_]\w+ ?
