URL matching in tutorial fails

[dave@…]

I'm going through the tutorial at ​http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/tutorial2/, but when I activate the admin site and visit the admin page, I see:

Using the URLconf defined in mysite.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:

1. ^{/django-test/admin/}

The current URL, /django-test/admin/, didn't match any of these.

which seems a little perverse given how trivially the url does, in fact, match. Granted I'm running the server on a remote machine rather than using the development server, but this should work, shouldn't it?

The leading / shouldnt be part of the pattern afaik. Confusing error message i agree.

Have you uncommented the line in the project's urls.py for the admin URL setup (as directed at the top of tutorial 2)?

[dave@…]

Yes, I did uncomment the line un urls.py
I tried to use it as-is, but it didn't match. I assume that was becase my project is located at

​https://boost-consulting.com:8443/django-test

rather than sitting right at the root of my server. So I changed the pattern from

r'^/admin/'

to

r'^{/django-test/admin/'}

As for the leading slash, it is present in the code generated by django in its initial urls.py, but I also tried without it and got the same result.

[dave@…]

Nevermind; I tried again without the leading slash and now I'm in business. Sorry for the noise!

I am having the same problem, But that fix isn't working. It was working last night when I went to sleep, now I have no idea what is wrong :(
