Re: admin interface and urls.py regex issue

I'm running into some perplexing regex issues in urls.py and getting
to my admin section.
It worked before but now that I have another view added in, anything
beyond the index regex is getting fed into the "url/" section rather
than admin:

I've included my urls.py section and the 500 error.

from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url

# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
   # Examples:
   # url(r'^

, 'Stumpy.views.home', name='home'),
   # url(r'^Stumpy/', include('Stumpy.foo.urls')),

   # show the index from /
   url(r'^, 'shortener.views.index'),
   # get a url for redirection /shorty
   url(r'^(?P<short>\w+)/, 'shortener.views.detail'),
   # send a url to be shortened from /url/someencodedurl
   url(r'^url/(?P<url>\S+)/, 'shortener.views.submit'),

   # 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'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)


judging by the 500 error it seems to be sending it to the submit view

No, the traceback below shows that the code is in the detail view.
 

Environment:

Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://192.168.11.4:8001/admin/

[snip]
Traceback:
File "/home/mugen/programming/django/django/core/handlers/base.py" in
get_response
111. response = callback(request, callback_args, **callback_kwargs)
File "/home/mugen/programming/Stumpy/shortener/views.py" in detail
11. thisurl = url.objects.get(shorturl=short) File "/home/mugen/

line 111 in views.py i(n detail).

Your urlpattern for this view is:

   url(r'^(?P<short>\w+)/, 'shortener.views.detail'),

url patterns are scanned in order, and the first one that matches is used. /admin/ matches that regex.so detail is called.

Either move the entry for admin above this one (in which case you can never have a short value of "admin"), leave it where it is and give it a different prefix than /admin/ -- one that will not match this detail pattern, or change this detail pattern so that /admin/ does not match it.

(You should also fix your detail view so it does not generate a server error when called with a short value that does not exist...a 404 would be a more typical response to that situation.)
