Django admin login

Question

I am pretty new to Django and Python. I am using Pycharm as my IDE (may not be relevant to my question). I am working on existing code. The previous programmer has developed the basic framework. He has created admin page. When I run django server using manage.py I use the following url to login:

127.0.0.1:8000/admin/login/?next=/admin/

Where can I find the credentials for this page? Is this generic or somewhere in a settings file?

Answer 1

in your console you can create a user:

python manage.py createsuperuser

Answer 2

• I had to log in to the admin view with the same url: 127.0.0.1:8000/admin/login/?next=/admin/ and the view did not had the basic nice looking Django interface what it normally has in 127.0.0.1:8000/admin/

• After switching the local bootstrap files

<script src="{% static 'public/js/jquery/jquery.min.js' %}"></script>
<script src="{% static 'public/js/popper/popper.min.js' %}"></script>
<script src="{% static 'public/js/bootstrap/bootstrap.min.js' %}"></script>

• to URL based files
