Using the URLconf defined in mysite.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:

Question

I know this question has been asked before, but I haven't found an answer that solves my situation.

I'm looking at the Django tutorial, and I've set up the first URLs exactly as the tutorial has it, word for word, but when I go to http://http://localhost:8000/polls/, it gives me this error:

Using the URLconf defined in mysite.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:
^polls/ ^% [name='index']
^admin/
The current URL, polls/, didn't match any of these.

I'm using Django 1.10.5 and Python 2.7.

Here is the code I have in relevant url and view files:

In mysite/polls/views.py:

from django.shortcuts import render
from django.http import HttpResponse

# Create your views here.
def index(request):
  return HttpResponse("Hello, world. You're at the polls index.")

In mysite/polls/urls.py:

from django.conf.urls import url

from . import views

urlpatterns = [
  url(r'^%', views.index, name='index'),
]

In mysite/mysite/urls.py:

from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.contrib import admin

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^polls/', include('polls.urls')),
    url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
]

What's going on? Why am I getting 404s?

Answer 1

urlpatterns = [path('', views.index, name='index'), ]
