I am trying to display contents of a static page in Django project.
urls.py :-
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Examples:
# url(r'^$', 'spollow.views.home', name='home'),
# url(r'^blog/', include('blog.urls')),
(r'^$', 'django.views.generic.simple.direct_to_template', {'template': 'index.html'}),
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)
index.html is in the same directory as urls.py
I am getting 500 internal server error. Any ideas where I am going wrong?
First of all, what is the stacktrace from the 500 error saying that the error may be? You may be using Django 1.6 and the call to direct_to_template is deprecated.
On Django 1.5 or newer you can use TemplateView
Here's the example from the documentation
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/class-based-views/
from django.conf.urls import patterns
from django.views.generic import TemplateView
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^about/', TemplateView.as_view(template_name="about.html")),
)
You can use the direct_to_template view on Django 1.4 or older
Here's the relevant documentation
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/generic-views/#django-views-generic-simple-direct-to-template
from django.views.generic.simple import direct_to_template
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^foo/$', direct_to_template, {'template': 'foo_index.html'}),
(r'^foo/(?P<id>\d+)/$', direct_to_template, {'template': 'foo_detail.html'}),
)
If it is the latter, I would use a module instead of string, (look at the import on the example).
Other than that, without the 500 details it will be shooting in the dark, you may not have the right template, or an incorrect path, or a million different things.
Bonus note
If you just want to serve static pages, it might be better to serve them through the actual webserver in front of django (nginx, apache, etc), specially if you are expecting a high volume of traffic.
If Your error is due to unable to find index.html
if yours is an app(ie: created by python manage.py startapp <app>) then:
Then django will search for template files in <app>/templates directory, if you added the app to INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py.
so you need to create a folder templates inside your <app> and put index.html inside it.
if you don't have any apps, you want to add the template path manually :
open settings.py, then edit TEMPLATE_DIRS
TEMPLATE_DIRS = (
# Put the full path of the template dir here, like "/home/html/django_templates" or
# "C:/www/django/templates".
)
In Django 1.5 or newer you can use the render function instead of direct_to_template:
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$', 'django.shortcuts.render', {'template_name': 'index.html'}),
)
Or if you prefer the more complex way :), you can use class-based TemplateView:
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
from django.views.generic import TemplateView
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name="index.html")),
)
I have a Django app running on a production server. It is handled with gunicorn 0.14.2 behind nginx. When I reload the app (by reloading the gunicorn workers), I get this error:
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/opt/nybooks/venv/myapp/lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 101, in get_response

raise ImproperlyConfigured("The included urlconf %s doesn't have any patterns in it" % self.urlconf_name)
ImproperlyConfigured: The included urlconf myapp.urls doesn't have any patterns in it
Others with this problem have commonly noted that it occurs while using reverse in a URLconf, but I am not using reverse in any URLconfs (nor are they used in any third-party apps). Also, this error only occurs in production -- never in development (using the Django dev server) or on my staging server (using gunicorn 0.14.2 behind nginx). It also doesn't seem to cause trouble with the site at any other time then during reloads.
Any ideas what's causing the problem?
Here's the main URLconf (and the one referenced in the stack trace):

if settings.DEBUG:

My guess is it has to do with your satchmo patterns and overloading on the name "urlpatterns" which django specifically looks for.
Try
from satchmo_store.urls import urlpatterns as satchmo_patterns
urlpatterns = myapp_patterns + satchmo_patterns
#etc.
The strange behavior may be bacause before if settings.DEBUG, urlpatterns is empty for some reason.
When running the dev server, it gets populated with the urlpatterns from the static app. When running in production, it remains empty.
You can check this easily with a clause like
if urlpatterns:
# something is in urlpatterns
# What's its type, contents, ...?
else:
# urlpatterns is empty
Once you figured this out, you can dig deeper. You can also add the check in a unit test or do it directly in the python shell, by importing the urls module if you want to make it more robust.
I think, and this is just a hunch, your urls maybe fine, (since no issues arise in your staged dev machine, only reloading on prod) the problem maybe with the way gunicorn re-loads the modules, and the way python compiled code behaves between different versions of the interpreter and how iterators behave, but again this are all hunches.
I recommend that you use the same version of python that you have on production in your staged machine and see if you can recreate the error if there already same version, then it must be something else, the reason I ask is that most production machines tend to use older versions of python, though I could be wrong.
good luck.
Instead of the urlpatterns = myapp_patterns + urlpatterns stuff, surely we could instead call myapp_patterns urlpatterns off the bat, and have inside the end of it, something along the lines of:
(r'^', include('satchmo_store.urls')),
As this is the "Django" way to include URL patterns?
This might solve your issue, I'm not sure. Worth a shot, I guess.
I've created a blog using django and hosted it on dotcloud http://www.honeybunny.dotcloud.com/blog/ its working fine on the localhost but when i try to access it online an extra slash is added to the urls what could be the reason ?
www.sitename.com/admin/
becomes
www.sitename.com//admin/
my urls.py is as following
from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url
from django.views.generic.simple import redirect_to
# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
from django.contrib import admin
import blog
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^$',redirect_to,{'url':'/blog'}),
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
url(r'^blog/',include('blog.urls')),
)
Also submitting the login form on the admin redirects me to http://admin/ while in the local environment it works perfectly fine .
UPDATE : My problem seems remarkably similar to the one described here .
From django tutorials the url file should look like the one below.
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^articles/2003/$', 'news.views.special_case_2003'),
(r'^articles/(\d{4})/$', 'news.views.year_archive'),
(r'^articles/(\d{4})/(\d{2})/$', 'news.views.month_archive'),
(r'^articles/(\d{4})/(\d{2})/(\d+)/$', 'news.views.article_detail'),
)
from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url
from django.views.generic.simple import redirect_to
# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Examples:
# url(r'^$', 'honeybunny.views.home', name='home'),
# url(r'^honeybunny/', include('honeybunny.foo.urls')),
# Uncomment the admin/doc line below to enable admin documentation:
# url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),
# Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
url(r'^$',redirect_to,{'url':'/blog'}),
url(r'^admin/$', include(admin.site.urls)),
)
Is my urls.py file
I have deleted import blog line because I don't have blog module.
It seemed to be a problem with dotcloud the same code worked without any errors when i uploaded it to epio
I am developing a django site locally using rc1.3 and after making several adjustments to my urls.py file i am receiving error messages that django cannot import admin.site.urls. by urls.py file is below.
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Example:
(r'^city/$', 'venue.views.city_index'),
(r'^accounts/', include('registration.urls')),
(r'^accountss/', include('registration.backends.simple.urls')),
(r'^profiles/', include('profiles.urls')),
(r'^admin/', include('admin.site.urls')),
(r'^city/(?P<city>[-\w]+)/$', 'venue.views.city_detail'),
(r'^city/(?P<city>[-\w]+)/venue/$', 'venue.views.venue_index'),
)
Any idea what might be cause this, thanks.

Don't include the string path, actually import the admin module and point to its urls.
from django.contrib import admin
urlpatterns += patterns('',
(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)
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

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...
This is probably nothing but it caught my eye. From the first snippet:
(r'^admin/$', 'astonomyStuff.attendance.views.adminPage'),
(r'^adminDJ/$', include(admin.site.urls)),
And the second snippet:
(r'^admin/$', include(admin.site.urls)),
Is this how you want it? The first snippet uses ^adminDJ/$ while the second one uses admin/$ opposite include(admin.site.urls).
Are these two files? And are the both used? In that case the first snippet could very well override the second, thereby causing your admin views to show up instead of Django's.
