django-urls

I'm experimenting with Django, and figuring out how to set urls.py , and how the URLs work. I've configured urls.py in the root of the project, to directs to my blog and admin. But now I want to add a page to my home, so at localhost:8000 . So I've added to following code to the urls.py in the root of the project: from django.views.generic.simple import direct_to_template urlpatterns = patterns('', (r"^$", direct_to_template, {"template": "base.html"}), ) The problem is that it searches for the template in blog/templates/...

I've got two applications located on two separate computers. On computer A, in the urls.py file I have a line like the following: (r'^cast/$', 'mySite.simulate.views.cast') And that url will work for both mySite.com/cast/ and mySite.com/cast . But on computer B I have a similar url written out like: (r'^login/$', 'mySite.myUser.views.login') For some reason on computer B the url mySite.com/login / will work but mySite.com/login will hang and won't direct back to mySite.com/login/ like it will on computer A. Is there something I missed? Both url.py files look identical to me. check your APPEND
