Django default root page stops working when I add my app to urlpatterns in urls.py
I am new to Django and only followed one tutorial on Visual Studio which worked fine.
Now I was trying to create another project on PyCharm and am facing the below problem.
the default Django template sets up fine in Pycharm and I see the default root/landing page when I run the project.
but the moment I add a url for my app in urls.py the default Django page stops working, although both the admin url and myapp urls work fine.
my Urlspatterns is provided below:
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
url(r'^myapp/', include('myapp.urls', namespace='myapp')),
]
the moment I remove the line the default Django landing page starts working again.
I have tried searching online but was unable to find an explanation. Posting it here because I would really like to know why this happens.

Have you tried running it in debug mode so you can get the traceback? It would help to know what the error is you're getting.

That screenshot tells you what the problem is. You need to define a URL pattern for the homepage of the site. Right now you could go to'admin/'or'myapp/'but not''. Add a URL pattern for that that points to a view and see if that fixes it.

hi @MihaiChelaru, my question is, when I remove the 'myapp' url definition, then the root '/' url works, even though there is no definition available except for 'admin/' in the urlpatterns generated by the project. it's only when I add a URL in addition to the default 'admin' when the default landing page stops working.

The answer to that is on the page itself. Just look at the screenshot in the answer below: "You are seeing this page because DEBUG=True is in your settings file and you have not configured any URLs. When you added that URL pattern in there the default Django homepage disappears. Add your own homepage as I described, since I presume you want to do that anyways. I'm not sure what the problem is here.

This page is intended only to show that django is working properly. As soon as you add any url it is disabled.
