Re: How can I solve the broken home page in the root folder?

Thank you very much.

I added the following to main site urls.py:

url(r'^$', views.home, name='home'),

and added the following to the /data/views.py file.

def home(request):

return HttpResponse("<h1>Main Page</h1>")

This somewhat makes sense, just wondering why the main site does not require a views.py file

Try "url(r'^/', include('data.urls'))," in url_patterns. This should do what you want.

Alternatively, you can set a simple view on r'^$' that will redirect to your main app.

I followed a simple tutorial to create a sample application in DJango. Here is my code for urls.py in the root folder:

from django.conf.urls import url, include

from django.contrib import admin

#from data import views

urlpatterns = [

    

url(r'^data/', include('data.urls')),

url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),

I get this error:

Page not found (404)

Request Method:	GET
Request URL:	http://<my IP>/

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

1. ^data/
2. ^admin/

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

You're seeing this error because you have DEBUG = True in your Django settings file. Change that to False, and Django will display a standard 404 page. 

The app http://<my IP>/data/ works fine.

If I remove the line: url(r'^data/', include('data.urls')),

then the root app works a treat:

It worked!

Congratulations on your first Django-powered page.

Is there a way to solve this or is there a way to redirect the page to another app? I really do not want to give out a website address with <my url>/data

Thank you very much.
