I had at some point an urls file that looked like that:
# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Example:
url(r'^$', 'girls.views.home', name = 'home'),
url(r'^registerasboy$', 'girls.views.regb', name= 'regb'),
#url(r'^registerasgirl$', 'girls.views.reg', name= 'regg'),
url(r'^thankyou$', 'girls.views.thankyou', name= 'thankyou'),
url(r'^newchick$', 'girls.views.newchick', name= 'newchick'),
url(r'^chicks$', 'girls.views.chicks', name= 'chicks'),
#url(r'^thankyou$', 'generalsettings.views.thankyou', name = 'thankyou'),
# Uncomment the admin/doc line below to enable admin documentation:
# (r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),
#url(r'^reg$', 'generalsettings.views.home'),
# Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
#(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
#(r'^media/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve', {'document_root': settings.MEDIA_ROOT}),
)
And the site worked. I didn’t have an admin. So i decided to uncomment the admin line, and i would get error 404
Page not found (404)
Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://chicklister.com/admin
Using the URLconf defined in chick.urls, Django tried these URL patterns,
in this order:
^$ [name='home']
^registerasboy$ [name='regb']
^thankyou$ [name='thankyou']
^newchick$ [name='newchick']
^chicks$ [name='chicks']
^/(?P<path>.*)$
The current URL, admin, didn't match any of these.
which is weird, because the admin line is missing here. Now, i Updated further my urls to:
urlpatterns = patterns(”,
(r’^admin/’, include(admin.site.urls)),)
and yet i get for admin:
Using the URLconf defined in chick.urls, Django tried these URL patterns,
in this order:
^$ [name='home']
^registerasboy$ [name='regb']
^thankyou$ [name='thankyou']
^newchick$ [name='newchick']
^chicks$ [name='chicks']
^/(?P<path>.*)$
The current URL, admin, didn't match any of these.
and yet, any other url works such as http://www.domain.com/thankyou according to the lines in the printed url file
How is this possible? It seems like it has been remembered somewhere.
Steps i did:
searched the whole folder in www for ‘registerasboy’ and returned nothing anymore.
i changed the text on the template, to make sure i am updating the right copy.
i have the following settings in the settings.py:
ROOT_URLCONF = ‘urls’
which i noticed didn’t really do anything, since in the beginning it was chic.urls
What am i doing wrong? i don’t seem to even a file with such content anymore…
Just a shot in the dark:
Did you add the admin in your INSTALLED_APPS, do a syncdb and restarted the server ?
Restarting the server is useful if you use Apache with mod_wsgi. It does not detect the changes in the code so you need to reload it manually.
The development server reloads code automatically.
Here is the complete information about this issue :
