Django URLconf error

I am trying to build a website with Django. I am new to Django and have followed the Tango with Django tutorial. I keep getting an URlconf error I do not understand. I have a domain (www.example.com), an app (mainApp) and two views in mainApp (homePage, registration). I want

  1. http://www.example.com to be matched with the homePage view
  2. http://www.example.com/registration/ to be matched with the registration view.

My urls.py file for the project is

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('mainApp.urls')),
)

The urls.py file for mainApp is

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

urlpatterns = patterns(
    '',
    url(r'^$', views.homePage, name='homePage'),
    url(r'^registration/$', views.registration, name='registration'),
)

This configuration displays the homePage view correctly, but not the registration view. The error is:

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

    ^admin/
    ^$
    ^/

The current URL, registration/, didn't match any of these.

What causes the error?

Solution

  • It looks fine. If you're hosting it online you should restart the webapp, if hosting it locally then restart the local host. Without restarting it the changes don't register.
