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

Question

I'm doing tutorial "Blog" from "Django by example" and i got error. http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ works fine. What i'm doing wrong?

Error: Page not found (404) Request Method: GET Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/post/ Using the URLconf defined in mysite.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order: ^admin/ The current URL, post/, didn't match any of these.

You are including the blog urls with:

url(r'^blog/', include('blog.urls',
                       namespace='blog',
                       app_name='blog')),

Therefore you should go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/blog/, not http://127.0.0.1:8000/post/ to see your post_list view.

Note that you should use a list and not a set in your blog URLs. Replace the curly braces with square brackets.

urlpatterns = [
    ...
]
