url(r'^(?P<user_name>[^/])/$','public_profile',name='user_public_profile'),
url(r'^signup/$','register_user',name='signup')
)
I am getting a 404 error and Django isn't able to find the Url's when I type for existing users, such as /people/alice while the other two patterns for the profile home and signup are working fine. Infact, this was working fine yesterday but not now, and I can't locate the problem.
The error message:
Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:
....
....
^people/ ^me/$ [name='profile_home']
^people/ ^(?P<user_name>[^/])/$ [name='user_public_profile']
^people/ ^signup/$ [name='signup']
Regex pattern in the url is not correct
url(r'^(?P<user_name>[^/])/$','public_profile',name='user_public_profile'),
Change it to use [\w]+
url(r'^(?P<user_name>[\w]+)/$','public_profile',name='user_public_profile'),
