Question

In my urls file I have configured the Django admin application to run off the url /adminDJ/. However it doesn’t run. It loads up my own admin stuff. Here is my urls.py:

 (r'^admin/add/member/$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.newMember'),
 (r'^admin/add/$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.addPage'), 
(r'^admin/$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.adminPage'),
 (r'^adminDJ/$', include(admin.site.urls)),
 (r'^talks/$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.talksIndex'),
 (r'^talks/past/$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.viewAllTalks'),
 (r'^members/$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.viewMembers'),
 (r'^members/(?P<member_number>[^/]+)/$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.viewMember'), 
 (r'^members/(?P<member_number>[^/]+)/delete$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.deleteMember'),
 (r'^admin/add/talk/$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.newTalk'),
 (r'^talks/(?P<talk_title>[^/]+)/$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.viewTalk'), 
 (r'^attendance/(?P<talk_title>[^/]+)/$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.viewAttendance'),  
 (r'^databrowse/(.*)', databrowse.site.root),
 (r'^adminDoc/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),
 (r'^accounts/login/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.login', {'template_name': 'login.html'}),
 (r'^accounts/profile/$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.adminPage'),
 (r'^admin/add/attendance/$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.addAttendance'),
 (r'^members/(?P<member_number>[^/]+)/edit$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.editMember'),
 (r'^public/talks/$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.publicViewTalks')

I have rearranged the order to see if this was the problem but that’s not fixed it. Must the django admin application run on /admin/?

Edit

I have had the admin application working before just to let you know it only broke when I played around with the urls.

Edit 2

Here is my complete urls.py:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *

from astonomyStuff.attendance.models import Member
from astonomyStuff.attendance.models import Non_Member
from astonomyStuff.attendance.models import Talk
from astonomyStuff.attendance.models import Event_Attendance
from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib import databrowse


admin.autodiscover()
admin.site.register(Member)
admin.site.register(Non_Member)
admin.site.register(Talk)
admin.site.register(Event_Attendance)   
databrowse.site.register(Member)
databrowse.site.register(Non_Member)
databrowse.site.register(Talk)
databrowse.site.register(Event_Attendance)

urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Example:
# (r'^astonomyStuff/', include('astonomyStuff.foo.urls')),

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

# Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
 # (r'^admin/add/member/$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.newMember'),
 # (r'^admin/add/$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.addPage'), 
 #     (r'^admin/$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.adminPage'),
 (r'^admin/$', include(admin.site.urls)),
 (r'^talks/$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.talksIndex'),
 (r'^talks/past/$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.viewAllTalks'),
 (r'^members/$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.viewMembers'),
 (r'^members/(?P<member_number>[^/]+)/$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.viewMember'), 
 (r'^members/(?P<member_number>[^/]+)/delete$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.deleteMember'),
 # (r'^admin/add/talk/$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.newTalk'),
 (r'^talks/(?P<talk_title>[^/]+)/$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.viewTalk'), 
 (r'^attendance/(?P<talk_title>[^/]+)/$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.viewAttendance'),  
 (r'^databrowse/(.*)', databrowse.site.root),
 (r'^adminDoc/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),
 (r'^accounts/login/$', 'django.contrib.auth.views.login', {'template_name': 'login.html'}),
 (r'^accounts/profile/$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.adminPage'),
 # (r'^admin/add/attendance/$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.addAttendance'), 
 (r'^members/(?P<member_number>[^/]+)/edit$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.editMember'),
 (r'^public/talks/$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.publicViewTalks'),
)

Answer 1

Not this (r'^adminDJ/$', include(admin.site.urls)),

But this (r'^adminDJ/', include(admin.site.urls)), ##note, no $ in the regex

Remember folks, gotta check your regexes…
