I'm learning Django and I'm trying to get a blog application running but I keep getting the same error: page not found error

I even went to the files available in github link which are the endgoal (while slightly different) I imported the whole mysite folder, opened a virtual env, installed Django, pushed the migrations and ran the server but I still get the same error.

It seems the problem arises with both my code and with the reference code in the github files.

You don't target the good url.

According to your project url showed in the error, you have admin/ and blog/

Then try http://localhost:8000/blog instead of http://localhost:8000/

For any one encountering the same problem:

as Rvector stated the http://localhost:8000/blog is what we're supposed to use in the tutorial but I was just reading without paying neough attention and got hung up on the page not found error.

As an alternative replacing the

urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('blog/', include('blog.urls', namespace='blog')),

]

in urls.py in the mysite folder with

urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('', include('blog.urls', namespace='blog')),

]

will make the blog page run as the home page and http://127.0.0.1:8000/ will work fine, seems obvious now but I guess reading more slowly can save you a lot of time.
