The problem is how you import your views form your urls.py you have to import also your poll views from mysite urls.py
you should try this: mysite--->mysite--->urls.py from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url from django.contrib import admin from poll import views urlpatterns = patterns('', url(r'^poll/', include('poll.urls')), url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)), ) Hope this helps. Cheers mysite--->polls--->urls.py from django.conf.urls import url from . import views urlpatterns = [ url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'), ] *mysite--->mysite--->urls.py* from django.conf.urls import include, url from django.contrib import admin urlpatterns = [ url(r'^polls/', include('polls.urls')), url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls), ] On Mon, Feb 1, 2016 at 5:09 AM, jfragos via Django users < django-users@googlegroups.com> wrote: > That is something I have tried.
