Description

Hi,
I don't know if this is just my instance (and the fact I was running the tutorial under apache) but in two places I needed to replace 'polls' with 'mysite.polls'.

First was in INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py
Second was in urlpatterns in urls.py.

Obviously it works for some instances, but maybe a note saying sometimes it needs to be mysite.polls not just polls? (Took ages to work it out for myself)

Cheers.

The tutorial is correct. Your apache configuration is incorrect. This is one of the reasons that the tutorial tells you to use the built in development server -- Apache configuration isn't trivial.
