Question

I am following Django tutorial given in the following link:-

http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/intro/tutorial01/

While running server I get many error messages:-

ImportError at /admin/

No module named polls.urls

Request Method:     GET
Request URL:        http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/
Django Version:     1.4.1
Exception Type:     ImportError
Exception Value:    

No module named polls.urls

Exception Location:     C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\django\utils\importlib.py in import_module, line 35
Python Executable:      C:\Python27\python.exe
Python Version:         2.7.3

Python Path:    

['D:\\chetan\\All_My_Projects\\mysite1',
 'C:\\Windows\\system32\\python27.zip',
 'C:\\Python27\\DLLs',
 'C:\\Python27\\lib',
 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\plat-win',
 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\lib-tk',
 'C:\\Python27',
 'C:\\Python27\\lib\\site-packages']

The errors are similar to what has been asked in:-

No module named urls

My question is, do we need to add the project directory,which in my case would be D:\chetan\All_My_Projects\mysite1 to environment variable? Is this causing the problem..

Answer 1

This is the whole Django Project ( I suppose, you are on Windows, using Py 27 )

Follow these steps:

• open cmd, direct it to d:\, Now python c:/python27/lib/site-packages/django/bin/django-admin.py startproject mysite

• cd mysite and python manage.py startapp polls

Now, cd polls

# polls/views.py
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
def polls_home(request):
    return render_to_response("polls.html")

# polls/urls.py
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
import views
urlpatterns = patterns ("",
                            url(r'^polls$', views.polls_home),
)

• Go to d:/mysite/mysite/settings.py and add polls in INSTALLED_APPS

• very important: open mysite/mysite/urls.py

add url(r'^home$', include('polls.urls') ), to url patterns

Now, runserver and open /home/polls
