Django 1.6 urls not working

Question

I am new to Django and trying to figure out how the urls work in Django.

My app's urls.py

from django.conf.urls import url, patterns
import views

urlpatterns = patterns('',
                       url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'))

Project urls.py

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url

from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',

    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    url(r'^app/', include('app.urls')),
)

APPEND_SLASH = True is set in settings.py and app is included in INSTALLED_APPS.

I get the Page Not Found when i go to localhost:8000/app.

Now i am not able to go to localhost:8000/admin also.

RuntimeError at /admin/
maximum recursion depth exceeded

app's views.py

from django.http import HttpResponse

def index(request):
    return HttpResponse("This is Hello")

Settings.py

import os
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__))

APPEND_SLASH = True

}

What i am doing wrong. Please help.

Answer 1

There is nothing wrong with your urls.

In settings:

DEBUG = True

Reload http://localhost:8000/app/ and post the traceback to Stackoverflow.

UPDATE

I build a Django project and used the code you supplied. It runs fine. Are you sure http://localhost:8000/app/ gives a 404? http://localhost:8000/ does 404, which is expected because there is no view for /.

The admin works also. To investigate the 'maximum recursion' you should supply models.py and admin.py code.

Some advice: Rename your project. appmain (for the project) and app (for the app) are confusing since they look alike, but more important appmain isn't an app but a project.

Hope it helps.

Answer 2

Worth trying:

Change your project urls.py to something like this:

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url

from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    url(r'^app/', include('project.app.urls')),
)
