Page not found 404 django-python

[shivajikobardan]

TL;DR Summary

page not found in django, how do I fix this issue?

Goal:

127.0.0.1:8000/about
Should give:
welcome to to about us page

127.0.0.1:8000/contact
Should give:
welcome to contact page

Problem:
Both are giving "page not found at /"

Page not found (404)

Request Method:    GET

Request URL:    http://127.0.0.1:8000/contact/
Using the URLconf defined in taskmate.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:
1) admin/

2) task/

3) todolist/

The current path, contact/, didn't match any of these.

You're seeing this error because you have DEBUG = True in your Django settings file. Change that to False, and Django will display a standard 404 page.

This is my folder structure.

Currently, my urls.py of taskmate is:

from django.contrib import admin

from django.urls import path, include
urlpatterns = [

    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),

    path('task/',include('todolist_app.urls')),

    path('todolist/',include('todolist_app.urls')),

]

And for todolist_app, these are my details:

Urls.py:

from django.urls import path

from todolist_app import views

#from . import views

urlpatterns = [

    path('', views.todolist),

    path('contact', views.contact,name='contact'),

    path('about', views.about, name="about"), #the path can be anything.

]

Views.py:

from django.shortcuts import render

from django.http import HttpResponse
# Create your views here.

def todolist(request):

    context={'welcome_text':"welcome to todo list app"}

    return render(request, 'html/todolist.html',context)
def contact(request):

    context={'welcome_text':"welcome to contact page"}

    return render(request, 'html/contact.html',context)
def about(request):

    context={'welcome_text':"welcome to to about us page"}

    return render(request, 'html/about.html',context)

I'm suspecting that the problem is in my main project urls.py as I've not included any details about contact and about URLs there. So, I did this there.

from django.contrib import admin

from django.urls import path, include
urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),

    path('task/',include('todolist_app.urls')),

    path('todolist/',include('todolist_app.urls')),

    path('about/',include('todolist_app.urls')),

]

The website runs but the goal isn't achieved.
It shows what the URLs
http://127.0.0.1:8000/task/
And
http://127.0.0.1:8000/todolist/
Show.
How do I fix this issue?

You don't need to suspect, you just need to read the error message which tells you that.

So, I did this there.

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('task/',include('todolist_app.urls')),
    path('todolist/',include('todolist_app.urls')),
    path('about/',include('todolist_app.urls')),
]

[See how I tidied that up to remove additional whitespace and added a title to make it clear what file it was? You should do this when posting.]

But that still doesn't have an entry for path('contact/', ...)!

Learn about how nested path routing works here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/4.0/topics/http/urls/#url-namespaces

It's not working to achieve the goal i posted in question even after adding stuffs in taskmate/urls.py. As I said above.

But you did not add the right stuffs in taskmate/urls.py. As I said above.

But that still doesn't have an entry for path('contact/', ...)!

as i said adding entry like i added for "about" there will lead to same page that i get when i hit 127.0.0.1/task and 127.0.0.1/todolist
