The $ means match the end of the url. So ^foo/$ means match a url that begins and ends with "foo/". Which of your URL regular expressions would you expect to match polls/index.html? Assuming you want your index to show the list of polls, drop index.html from the URL in your browser. If you need index.html there for legacy reasons, change your urls.py file to include index.html before the $. For example: ^polls/index.html$ But then you won't match unless you have index.html in your URL, which is probably even worse. If you aren't dealing with a legacy site, I would just drop the index.html. It just makes your URLs uglier, and less accurate (because you aren't actually serving up flat HTML).
