Question

I am setting up a django project(for the first time).

I tried to configure, but despite its showing some value error.

Here is the settings.py

settings.py

TEMPLATE_DEBUG = DEBUG

    ('asit', 'lipun4u@gmail.com'),
)

MANAGERS = ADMINS

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
        'NAME': 'C:\\Users\\asit\\workspace\\tutu\\src\\sqlite.db',                      # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
        'USER': '',                      # Not used with sqlite3.
        'PASSWORD': '',                  # Not used with sqlite3.
        'HOST': '',                      # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
        'PORT': '',                      # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.
    }
}

    # Put strings here, like "/home/html/django_templates" or "C:/www/django/templates".

    # Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
    'django.contrib.admin',
    # Uncomment the next line to enable admin documentation:
    # 'django.contrib.admindocs',
)

urls.py

from django.conf.urls.defaults import *

# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # Example:
    # (r'^tutu/', include('tutu.foo.urls')),

    # Uncomment the admin/doc line below to enable admin documentation:
    # (r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),

    # Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
    (r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

The error is

Exception Type:     ValueError
Exception Value:    

Empty module name

Exception Location:     C:\Python27\lib\site-packages\django\utils\importlib.py in import_module, line 35

Can somebody help me ?

Answer 1

The reason is that you have empty ROOT_URLCONF . It does not have any default value defined, so you should provide actual url config for your project here. Most likely it's just yourprojectname.urls , like this

ROOT_URLCONF = 'yourprojectname.urls'

See django URLDispacther docs for details.
