Hey Karen,

Thanks a ton for that. I used the activate admin way suggested in
tutorial 2 of the djangoproject website and that worked just great!

I'm sure this Django journey is not going to be very smooth, and i'll
keep having questions along the way, especially since this is my first
ever programming experience. Thanks to people like you, it becomes a
lot easier.

Thanks once again.

Divesh

I wouldn't recommend that.  From a brief look that tutorial is based on
Django 0.96, and unless you are supporting old code written for that level
you do not want to be starting out with such an old base.  There are many
things that changed between 0.96 and 1.0 in a backwards-incompatible way
(one of which has led to your problem), you are much better off starting
with 1.0.  Why not use the official Django tutorial, which is updated to
match the current code (or you can use the version for the latest official
release, depending on what level of Django you decide to go with):

Activate Admin Tutorial 2

2009-06-25 Thread Divesh Gidwani 

Hey Guys,

I'm new to Django and computer programming and am currently following
a tutorial from this website:

http://www.zabada.com/tutorials/django-quick-start.php

Everything worked until the activate the admin part.

My code to activate the admin in my records/urls.py is as such:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *

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

urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Example:
# (r'^djangotest/', include('djangotest.foo.urls')),

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

# Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
(r'^admin/', include(divesh.records.urls)),
)

I don't exactly know what i'm doing, so please help.

divesh is my username
records is the app

This is the error i get when i try to runserver and display the page.
I am a newbie.
