Description

In tutorial 3 it says that "When you ran python manage.py startproject mysite at the beginning of Tutorial 1, it created a default URLconf in mysite/urls.py. It also automatically set your ROOT_URLCONF setting to point at that file:

ROOT_URLCONF = 'mysite.urls'

" in reality we ran "django-admin.py startproject mysite" and it did not set up a default ROOT_URLCONF.

Oops I was confused. What it failed to mention was that ROOT_URLCONF is automatically setup "in settings.py" -- I thought it was auto set up in urls.py, as the documentation made me think it was. thanks!

Thanks for the report Roger. While the implicit wording of "setting" makes it obvious to veterans, you bring up a good point that it could be said more explicitly.

If you feel up to it, it is always appreciated if you could provide a patch. Update the documentation file with the more explicit instructions, create the diff and attach to this ticket.

Checkout the SVN, edit the documentation txt file (restructured text format) and attach the diff.
