My urls.py:

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url

# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # Examples:
    # url(r'^$', 'tut.views.home', name='home'),
    # url(r'^tut/', include('tut.foo.urls')),

    # Uncomment the admin/doc line below to enable admin documentation:
    # url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),

    # Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
    (r'^accounts/', include('registration.backends.default.urls', namespace='registration')),


)

Any ideas?

Solution

The information you need is in the traceback you have provided,

In template /Users/Studio/Desktop/pod/t1/tut/tut/templates/base.html, error at line 16 Reverse for 'index' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments '{}' not found.

In your base.html template, on line 16, you are using the url tag to link to the view named 'index'. 

16      <a href="{% url 'index' %}">{% trans "Home" %}</a> |

However, there is no url pattern named index in your url patterns. Therefore the reverse fails, and raises a NoReverseMatch exception.

You can fix this by creating an index view in your tut.views module, and adding it to your url patterns.

url(r'^$', 'tut.views.index', name='index'),

Alternatively, you can remove the {% url 'index' %} from your template until you add an index view.

OTHER TIPS

add url(r'^', include('django.contrib.auth.urls')) to url patterns
