Hey I am following a basic tutorial, and I am literally stuck there: In urls.py 's project file: ```auto from django.contrib import admin from django.urls import path, include urlpatterns = [ path('admin/', admin.site.urls), path('/', include("back.urls")) ] ``` In urls.py 's “back” app file: ```auto from django.urls import path from .views import AccountView urlpatterns = [ path('account', AccountView.as_view()), ] ``` and in INSTALLED APPS: ```auto INSTALLED_APPS = [ ... 'rest_framework', 'back', ] ``` I keep on getting this error: ```auto path('/', include("back.urls")) ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^ ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'back' ``` Can anyone advise me what I am missing please? I am using Python 3.12 and Django 5.1.1. ---

Welcome @lopman045 ! Please show your directory structure. Identify the complete paths where your project `urls.py` and your `back` app’s `urls.py` files are located. ---

Thank you very much! My project structure is as follow; ![IMG_0070](https://us1.discourse-cdn.com/flex026/uploads/djangoproject/original/3X/3/2/32be824c7e535b62e530091a4b1e837a556af8ad.jpeg) ---

It’s quite hard to read that with so little indent. Is manage.py inside `back`? ---

Apologies for that. Let me rewrite the structure there: ´´´ backend |\_\_ back —-|\_\_ urls.py . … |\_\_ omg\_back —-|\_\_ omg\_back ———|\_\_ urls.py ———|\_\_ setting.py . … —-|\_\_ manage.py ---

This structure seems wrong to me. `manage.py` should be on the top level. So I guess that would be inside `backend`. Then THAT should be the current working directory when running `manage.py`. Alternatively you move `back` into the outermost `omb_back` dir. I think it’s very confusing that you have 4 folders called variations on “backend”. One seems reasonable, 4 is too much 😛 ---

what is your **project name** and result of **print(base\_dir)** in settings.py? ---

I see. Initially the ´back´ app was named ´api ´, but I thought the name could the reason of the error. The project name is ´omg\_back´ ---

your project not include app named back. you should : ```auto |__ omg_back —-|__ omg_back ———|__ urls.py ———|__ setting.py ———|__ back . … —-|__ manage.py ``` ---

Unless you have a real need to not follow the Django conventions, I would strongly suggest you organize your project as described at [Is the structure of the project correct? - #2 by KenWhitesell](https://forum.djangoproject.com/t/is-the-structure-of-the-project-correct/28374/2) While there are other valid ways to organize your project, you will create less friction by doing it this way.
