Trying to create my first Django webpage but nothing loads when I run manage.py
Question
I am following this tutorial: https://realpython.com/get-started-with-django-1/ .
I followed everything exactly the same but when I run manage.py, localhost:8000 only displays a blank webpage. I have a very simple HTML file that should display "Hello, World." but it's not loading.
Here is the code in settings.py:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'hello_world',
views.py:
from django.shortcuts import render
# Create your views here.
def hello_world(request):
return render(request, 'hello_world.html', {})
My hello_world.html file:
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
The code in my project "personal_portfolio" personal_portfolio\urls.py:
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('', include('hello_world.urls')),
]
And finally hello_world\urls.py:
from django.urls import path
from hello_world import views
urlpatterns = {
path('', views.hello_world, name = 'hello_world'),
}
I've made sure all the files are in the right place, but I can't figure out why localhost:8000 only displays a white page. When I run the hello_world.html file locally, it works just fine. Like this: local HTML file
Any tips would be much appreciated. I'm frustrated I can't get this to work.

Your app url patterns are defined as a dictionary and should be a list.
So in hello_world/urls.py , change this;
urlpatterns = {
path('', views.hello_world, name = 'hello_world'),
}
To be a list of paths;
urlpatterns = [
path('', views.hello_world, name='hello_world'),
]
You also have your <h1> tag in the head, not the body. You need to use a <title> tag in the head & move the <h1> ;
<!DOCTYPE HTML>
<html lang="en">
<head>
<meta charset="UTF-8">
<title>Hello, World!</title>
</head>
<body>
<h1>Hello, World!</h1>
</body>
</html>
