from django.conf.urls import patterns, url homepage import views  urlpatterns = patterns('',     url(r'^$', views.homepage, name='homepage'),     url(r'^account$', views.account, name='account'),     ) 

and in views have:

from django.shortcuts import render homepage.models import email  def tmp(request):     latest_email_list = email.objects.order_by('-pub_date')[:0]     context = {'latest_email_list': latest_email_list}     return render(request, 'home_page/homepage.html', context)  def homepage(request):     return render(request, 'home_page/homepage.html')  def account(request):     return render(request, 'home_page/account.html')`

the requested url /account not found on server.

i complete beginner in django , python haven't yet wrapped mind on how work urls, views, , models assume have wrongly defined in views

would grate if me setting up, thanks

i want thank took time check question , tried give solution.

i think mistake did not post code have in main urls.py file, here is:

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url django.contrib import admin urlpatterns = patterns('',     url(r'^$', include('home_page.urls', namespace="homepage")),     url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)), ) django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns() 

apparently, problem in first prefix of first url in list:

i changed

url(r'^$' 

for

url(r''  

and calls whatever links provide in html pages.

thanks again, victor
