Django: when trying domain.com/admin gives 404 with an old unexisting urls file

Question

I had at some point an urls file that looked like that:

# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscov         


        

Answer 1

Just a shot in the dark:

Did you add the admin in your INSTALLED_APPS, do a syncdb and restarted the server ?

Restarting the server is useful if you use Apache with mod_wsgi. It does not detect the changes in the code so you need to reload it manually.

The development server reloads code automatically.
