If you're encountering a "Page not found (404)" error, it typically means that the requested URL does not match any of the defined URL patterns in your Django project. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:
Verify the URL: Double-check the URL you are trying to access in your browser. Ensure that it matches the URL pattern defined in your Django project's urls.py file.
Check the URL pattern: Review the URL pattern in your Django project's urls.py file. Make sure that the URL pattern is correctly defined and includes any necessary parameters.
Ensure the URL is correctly formatted: Ensure that the URL you are trying to access is correctly formatted. Check for any missing slashes, incorrect characters, or URL encoding issues.
Verify the server is running: Ensure that your Django development server is running. In your terminal or command prompt, check that the server is active and running without any errors.
Check for any URL conflicts: If you have multiple URL patterns that could potentially match the requested URL, ensure that there are no conflicts or overlaps between them. Django uses the first matching URL pattern it encounters, so the order of the patterns can affect which one is used.
Review any middleware or app-specific URL configurations: If you are using middleware or have app-specific URL configurations, make sure they are properly set up and do not conflict with the requested URL.
Check for any custom error handlers: If you have custom error handlers defined in your Django project, ensure that they are not interfering with the handling of the 404 error.
Review logs and error messages: Check your Django server logs or console output for any relevant error messages or warnings that may provide more information about the cause of the 404 error.
