Page not found (404)

Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://localhost:8000/polls/

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

  1. admin/

The current path, polls/, 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.

This generally means one of a couple of things:

  • You’re not editing the right file.

  • You haven’t saved your changes.

  • You have another instance of runserver still running from an earlier time.

Make sure that all instances of runserver are stopped, that you’re looking at the correct file, and then restart runserver.

NICE! I needed to save the changes LOL. I have been working on this for 3 days you rock KEN!!!
