Unable to start Django server due to exception

#1

Hi, im unable to get my django server running again despite everything working fine 2 days ago. I’ve tried repeating onboarding, downloading the repo for chapter 3, just copying the code straight from the book, all to no avail. I bounced around a few SO threads before giving up.

    (venv) macbook-pro-108:myhellowebapp ryn456$ python3 manage.py runserver

^^^ This is the error you’re looking for! Look at line 16 in your urls.py and see if there are any typos. :)

#3

When i try to run" python manage.py runserver"
The command does not rplies anything but comes back as it is

#4

Are you doing this in a terminal? Baffled that it’s returning itself, and not an error.

If you’re new to using the command line, FYI I have a free guide for that: https://hellowebbooks.com/learn-command-line/
