I have a Django project with the root view @login_required, and I'm not sure how to populate /accounts so that that heirarchy will hangle login-related information. The Django Book at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/auth/ seems to say that it will happen automagically with my default settings.py:
"Authentication support is bundled as a Django application in django.contrib.auth. To install it, do the following: "Put 'django.contrib.auth' and 'django.contrib.contenttypes' in your INSTALLED_APPS setting [*they are there from when settings.py was generated*]. (The Permission model in django.contrib.auth depends on django.contrib.contenttypes.) Run the command manage.py syncdb. Note that the default settings.py file created by django-admin.py startproject includes 'django.contrib.auth' and 'django.contrib.contenttypes' in INSTALLED_APPS for convenience. If your INSTALLED_APPS already contains these apps, feel free to run manage.py syncdb again; you can run that command as many times as you’d like, and each time it’ll only install what’s needed. "The syncdb command creates the necessary database tables, creates permission objects for all installed apps that need ‘em, and prompts you to create a superuser account the first time you run it. "Once you’ve taken those steps, that’s it." When I decorate my root view with @login_required, I get redirected to http://localhost:8000/accounts/login/?next=/, which presents the Django debug mode 404 page. I am running Django 1.2.1. How can I glue things together so a @login_required decorator finds a logged-in user, and I can build on top of that? -- [image: Christos Jonathan Hayward] <http://jonathanscorner.com/> Christos Jonathan Hayward, an Orthodox Christian author. *Amazon <http://amazon.com/author/cjshayward>* • Author Bio<http://jonathanscorner.com/author/> • *Email <christos.jonathan.hayw...@gmail.com>* • Facebook<http://www.facebook.com/christos.jonathan.hayward> • Google Plus <http://jonathanscorner.com/plus> • *Kindle<http://stornge.com/amazon> * • LinkedIn <http://www.linkedin.com/in/jonathanhayward> • *Professional<http://JonathanHayward.com> * • Twitter <http://twitter.com/JonathansCorner> • *Web<http://jonathanscorner.com/> * • What's New? <http://jonathanscorner.com/> I invite you to visit my "theology, literature, and other creative works" site. *See one page of my website! <http://random.jonathanscorner.com/>* -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
