Please Help With setting the LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL in the LearnDjango allauth tutorial

Using Django Mystery Errors

Hi, I am working on the LearnDjango allauth tutorial. I am not sure where exactly I should set LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL to the home page, ``
This is my settings.py file

BASE_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve().parent.parent

Anywhere within the settings.py file.

With a few exceptions, the order of the variables being set within that file is not significant.

Where the order would be significant is when a variable is referencing another variable. For example, in your DATABASES setting, you have a reference to BASE_DIR. This means that DATABASES must appear after the definition of BASE_DIR.

@KenWhitesell Thanks. I have done so. When I run the server I get page not found.


Page not found (404)
Request Method: 	GET
Request URL: 	http://127.0.0.1:8000/accounts

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

    admin/
    accounts/

The current path, accounts, 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.

Look at the error message. Look to see the difference between what you’re requesting and what is valid.
