Part II of the tutorial fails to load the admin site using SVN Rev. 3528

[jcruff@…]

Following the tutorial I'm unable to load the admin site when getting to part II. The traceback is received:

Traceback (most recent call last):
File "/Users/techniq/.python/django/core/handlers/base.py" in get_response

65. callback, callback_args, callback_kwargs = resolver.resolve(path)

148. sub_match = pattern.resolve(new_path)

146. for pattern in self.urlconf_module.urlpatterns:

AttributeError at /admin/
'module' object has no attribute 'urlpatterns'

I can't reproduce this, and we haven't heard any similar reports, so I'd suggest going through the tutorial again and making sure you've typed things correctly. If you have more problems, let us know on the django-users mailing list!

I am having the exact same problem with SVN Rev. 3577. Followed the tutorial step by step and came up with the exact same error as described above.

AttributeError at /admin/
   'module' object has no attribute 'urlpatterns'

As a second test, I downloaded the 0.95 release and changed the symlink in site-packages to use 0.95 instead. I restarted the server using the same 'mysite' code user 0.95. In this case, I do not get the same error. I am able to log in under the admin ID.

At this point, though, I have another problem. Operational Error: No such table 'django_admin_log.' This is to be expected, I assume, as a backwards-incompatible change from auth_admin_log.

OperationalError at /admin/
no such table: django_admin_log

Request Method:	GET
Request URL:	http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/
Exception Type:	OperationalError
Exception Value:	no such table: django_admin_log
Exception Location:	/System/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/2.3/lib/python2.3/site-packages/django/db/backends/sqlite3/base.py in execute, line 77

I found a urlpatterns attribute in django.contrib.admin.urls. Perhaps an issue with the resolver?

Lack of comments suggests that this isn't a problem with the tutorial.

Happens if you run manage.py syncdb before adding django.contrib.admin to installed_apps. Just run syncdb again to fix.

The tutorial is probably okay, but there is a problem here - I've just hit exactly the same thing. I tried dropping all the tables, and the whole database, and however many times I re-ran syncdb it still didn't work. Switched to 0.96, ran syncdb (on the same database), and this appeared:

Creating table django_admin_log
Installing index for admin.LogEntry model

So it appears that the Subversion copy wasn't setting up everything it should have done.

I'm running Debian sid (unstable), Python 2.4.4, AMD-64 (though that shouldn't matter). The copy from svn claimed to be 0.97-pre-SVN-6397. Django is installed into my home area, rather than system wide, but again that shouldn't matter.

Just run syncdb again to fix.

This worked for me: python manage.py runserver

[anonymous]

I had the same error. It was fixed when I added sudo: 'sudo python manage.py runserver'

Hey guys,
I know this is old post, but for other searchers:
I had exactly same problem with: no such table: django_admin_log,
and I found answer somewhere else:

"If you get this error when trying to save something in the Django admin,
it's probably because you forgot to synchronize the database after adding
the admin application => $ ./managy.py syncdb"
