I am just starting to learn Python and Django and cannot make the most basic application work. I installed Python, added python to the Path environment variable, installed Django using the install.py script.
I created the application by running the command
django-admin.py startproject my_project
updated settings.py file for database
DATABASE_ENGINE = 'sqlite3'
DATABASE_NAME = 'mysitedb'
Run the command
python manage.py syncdb
And finally, it all started
python manage.py runserver
At this point, everything is working successfully. When I looked at http: // localhost: 8000 / I get the error message "Page not found: /"
I originally installed Django version 1.1, but got the same error, so I uninstalled it and tried the old version 1.0.3. The thread is working. Any help would be appreciated.
