I wish to access the file i upload using models.FileField(), but its shows different path when i click on the link provided in the admin page. May i know what's the problem here?
Updated my code, but the url dosent seem corret. getting a 404 code error.
you need to declare MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR,'media')
and add them to the urls.py
from django.conf import settings
from django.conf.urls.static import static
urlpatterns = [
# ... the rest of your URLconf goes here ...
] + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)
I decided to have the front pages such as the main landing page and the 'about me' page etc. at the root of my project instead as a different app. This means the project looks like this:
/django-helloworld
/Hello_World
__init__.py
url.py
views.py
wsgi.py
/static
style.css
/templates
index.html
My urls.py looks like this:
from django.conf.urls import url, include
from django.contrib import admin
from . import views
app_name = 'Hello_World'
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^$', views.IndexView.as_view(), name='index'),
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
The problem is, when I try to point to a url in my template, it works by doing:
Home
But if I try referencing the namespace like so:
Home
I get this error:
NoReverseMatch at /
'Hello_World' is not a registered namespace
What am I doing wrong? Thanks in advance.
urls.py you are refering to is set as root url in your settings.py
It probably looks like this
ROOT_URLCONF = 'Hello_World.urls'.
You cant namespace your root url because there can be only one root url.Namesapcing is done only when multiple app exists.
Instead you can mention the name of url and use it.
Ex: Home
The above will work in all of your templates and in all the apps WITHOUT namespacing because the href will first try for the urls.py file of your project where it will match the name index
url(r'^$', views.IndexView.as_view(), name='index'),.
The Reason django for django error saying namespace not matched beacuse it searches for other apps urls.py file for namespace and because it doesnt match app_name= 'Hello_World' else where the error is displayed.
I'm following the tutorial on Django's site to create a simple poll app. However, Django is unable to resolve "//127.0.0.1:8000/polls" , even though I've defined the regex in mySite/urls.py. I'm doing this in a virtualenv, with the latest Django (1.7) installed.
mySite/urls.py:
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
url(r'^polls/', include('polls.urls')),
)
mySite/polls/urls.py:
from django.conf.urls import patterns, url
from polls import views
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),
)
mySite/polls/views.py:
from django.shortcuts import render
from django.http import HttpResponse
def index(request):
return HttpResponse("Hello, world. You're at the polls index.")
mySite/settings.py:
...
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'polls',
)
....
ROOT_URLCONF = 'mySite.urls'
The error I'm getting:
Using the URLconf defined in mySite.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order: ^admin/
The current URL, polls, didn't match any of these.
I had the same problem.
It turns out I was confused because of the multiple directories named "mysite".
I wrongly created a urls.py file in the root "mysite" directory (which contains "manage.py"), then pasted in the code from the website.
To correct it I deleted this file, went into the mysite/mysite directory (which contains "settings.py"), modified the existing "urls.py" file, and replaced the code with the tutorial code.
In a nutshell, make sure your urls.py file is in the right directory.
Django unable to resolve 127.0.0.1:8000/polls because url config defined as r'^polls/'.
Usual workaround:
mySite/urls.py:
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
url(r'^polls/', include('polls.urls')),
)
Note:
Whenever Django encounters include(), It chops off whatever part of the URL matched up to that point and sends the remaining string to the included URLconf for further processing.
mySite/polls/urls.py:
from django.conf.urls import patterns, url
from polls import views
urlpatterns = patterns('polls.views',
url(r'^$', 'index', name='index'),
)
Note: Instead of typing that out for each entry in urlpatterns, you can use the first argument to the patterns() function to specify a prefix to apply to each view function.
Answer If
If you want to access 127.0.0.1:8000/polls Note: without trailing slash
use view based url
url(r'^polls', 'polls.views.index', name='index'),
So now you can access 127.0.0.1:8000/polls without trailing slash.
You're accessing to http://yourdomain.com/, and you don't have any URL defined for "/".
You have two options:
If you want to access to the index page of your polls application you have to enter the URL: yourdomain.com/polls
You can also modify you mySite/urls.py file to access from just yourdomain.com
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
url(r'^$', include('polls.urls')),
)
To make the answer clear for beginners who has this issue by following the tutorial, the project root URLconf is the one in the same folder as settings.py which is:
mysite/mysite/urls.py
Just make sure import 'include'. The code looks like:
from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.contrib import admin
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
url(r'^polls/', include('polls.urls')),
]
So in
mysite/mysite/settings.py:
The line should be:
ROOT_URLCONF = 'mysite.urls'
You don't need create a fresh new root URLconf.
Depending on where you put your ROOT urls.py, you set your ROOT_URLCONFIG accordingly, if you have it in your outermost folder containing manage.py then "urls" is ok. if you have it in someother folder then you have to do ".urls"

For more info about how it works, check How Django processes a request
You put the urls.py folder into the outer MySite folder, you are suppose to put it in the inner one so its not mySite/urls.py, but mySite/mySite/urls.py:
ran into the same mistake when i did the tutorial
Another way to access 127.0.0.1:8000/polls would be to redirect the browser when accessing 127.0.0.1:8000. It is done by editing .../mysite/mysite/urls.py as follows:
from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.contrib import admin
from polls import views
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
url(r'^polls/', include('polls.urls', namespace='polls')),
url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),
]
Page not found?
If you get an error page here, check that you’re going to http://localhost:8000/polls/ and not http://localhost:8000/.

Actually the problem is that you didn't notice that
mysite/urls.py and polls/urls.py are two different files and you modified polls/urls.py instead of putting mysite/urls.py in the urls.py file in ...mysite\mysite folder.
In my case, it was a stupid mistake. I wanted to integrate the plugin django-tinymce, and test it. So following this guide, I did the step 3 and exported the variable to the path. As the server runned again, I received the not found error, showing the message:
Using the URLconf defined in testtinymce.urls, Django tried these URL
patterns, in this order: ....
But I didn't know what exactly it was, until I remembered exporting the variable DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE
running unset DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE in terminal solved my issue. Hope that it helps someone too.
Add the below line in your Mysite/urls.py
url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),
and check. If you have created your project correctly, it should work. Else something like above might have happened to have more than one files so confused.
2017-10-05_12:03 ~/mysite/mysite
$ vi urls.py
2017-10-05_12:04 ~/mysite/mysite
$ cd ../..
2017-10-05_12:04 ~
$ mv mysite SENSIBLE_NAME_DJANGO_ROOT
i had the same issue and got it resolved by adding /polls after http://server:port/ and so final address in server looks like:
http://server:port/polls
Im certain that this is something simply that Im overlooking but Im too irritated to figure it out alone so thanks in advance.

]
When I go to the url path "http://127.0.0.1:8000/locate/" is receive the error message: I recieve the exception value "No module named geo.urls." What am I missing?
include("geo.urls") tells Django to look for geo.urls relative to the manage.py file. So its essentially looking for this file:
myproject/
manage.py
myproject/
apps/
settings.py
urls.py
geo/
urls.py <- this file
That is sort of the new directory structure starting with Django 1.4 which encourages to have apps independent of the Django project. However if you still follow the old layout where the apps folders are within the project folder, then you have to change your imports to reflect that:
include("myproject.geo.urls")
EDIT
Following your updated layout:
include("myproject.apps.geo.urls")
url(r"^locate/", include("tulsa-site.apps.geo.urls"))
I tried setting ROOT_URLCONF in settings.py in my project (called registration) to a variety of strings: ROOT_URLCONF = 'registration.urls', ROOT_URLCONF = 'foo.urls', ROOT_URLCONF = 'monkey.urls', ROOT_URLCONF = 'registration.registration.urls'.
Regardless, I get this output on my home page:
Page not found (404)
Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://78.198.124.245/
Directory indexes are not allowed here.
You're seeing this error because you have DEBUG = True in your Django settings file.
Why is that? Here is the file I am using to configure Passenger (passenger_wsgi.py). This file is located in "/home/david/registration/registration/."
import os, sys
os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "registration.settings")
# This application object is used by any WSGI server configured to use this
# file. This includes Django's development server, if the WSGI_APPLICATION
# setting points here.
from django.core.wsgi import get_wsgi_application
application = get_wsgi_application()
sys.path.append(os.getcwd())
sys.path.append("/home/david/registration/registration")
sys.path.append("/home/david/registration/registration/app")
/home/david/registration/registration/urls.py looks like this.
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url, http
def myFunction(request):
return http.HttpResponse("A mapped URL")
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^$', 'myFunction')
)
Why is my Django application completely ignoring my ROOT_URLCONF setting and returning the same output every time I access my home page?
Nothing of your tries actually resides in python path. If the path is /home/david/registration/registration and the urls are in /home/david/registration/registration/urls.py then what should be the relative path from first to second?
