I'm a
Django newbie who needs help: Even though I change some
urls in my
urls.py I keep on getting the same error message from
Django. Here is the relevant line from my settings.py:
ROOT_URLCONF = 'mydjango.
urls'
Here is my
urls.py:
from
django.conf.
urls.defaults import *
# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
from
django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Example:
# (r'^mydjango/', include('mydjango.foo.
urls')),
# Uncomment the admin/doc line below and add '
django.contrib.admindocs'
# to INSTALLED_APPS to enable admin documentation:
#(r'^admin/doc/', include(django.contrib.admindocs.urls)),
# (r'^polls/', include('mydjango.polls.
urls')),
(r'^$', 'mydjango.polls.views.homepage'),
(r'^polls/$', 'mydjango.polls.views.index'),
(r'^polls/(?P<poll_id>\d+)/$', 'mydjango.polls.views.detail'),
(r'^polls/(?P<poll_id>\d+)/results/$', 'mydjango.polls.views.results'),
(r'^polls/(?P<poll_id>\d+)/vote/$', 'mydjango.polls.views.vote'),
(r'^polls/randomTest1/', 'mydjango.polls.views.randomTest1'),
(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)
So I expect that whenever I visit http://mydjango.yafz.org/polls/randomTest1/ the mydjango.polls.views.randomTest1 function should run because in my polls/views.py I have the relevant function:
def randomTest1(request):
# mainText = request.POST['mainText']
return HttpResponse("Default random test")
However I keep on getting the following error message:
Page not found (404)
Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://mydjango.yafz.org/polls/randomTest1
Using the URLconf defined in mydjango.
urls,
Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:
1. ^$
2. ^polls/$
3. ^polls/(?P<poll_id>\d+)/$
4. ^polls/(?P<poll_id>\d+)/results/$
5. ^polls/(?P<poll_id>\d+)/vote/$
6. ^admin/
7. ^polls/randomTest/$
The current URL, polls/randomTest1, didn't match any of these.
I'm surprised because again and again I check
urls.py and there is no
^polls/randomTest/$
in it, but there is
^polls/randomTest1/'
It seems like
Django is somehow storing the previous contents of
urls.py and I just don't know how to make my latest changes effective.
Any ideas? Why do I keep on seeing some old version of regexes when I try to load that page even though I changed my
urls.py?
