I received the following error:
TemplateSyntaxError at /accounts/login/
Caught ImportError while rendering: No module named urls
due to this piece of code in a template:
<a href="{% url index %}">{% trans "Home" %}</a>
it happened after trying to deploy my django project to an amazon ec2 instance. I am confused as to why this would occur.
here is the full trace:
