I am trying to host a Django app on windows server using IIS using wfastcgi.
After creating a new django project using django-admin.py startproject foo,the admin page opens up fine when I run it with the django server python manage.py runserver.
However when I try to access it through 127.0.0.1/foo I get the Django 404 error saying :
Using the URLconf defined in foo.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:
admin/
The current path, foo, didn't match any of these.
The log file shows that it is a URLResolver error .Following is the log file

2018-06-11 17:42:19,213 django.request WARNING Not Found: /foo/
I have searched almost everywhere but I cant seem to find anyone who has had a similar issue.
Technical setup:
Any ideas?
Edit: urls.py
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path,include
from polls import views
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
# path('polls/', include('polls.urls')),
]
I created a polls app in this django project but commented it out for now since it was showing the same error for it.So I thought to first tackle the admin issue (which I believe would also fix the polls app issue)
My foo project structure:
foo
├── manage.py
├── web.config
├── foo
| ├── settings.py
| └── urls.py
| └── wsgi.py
| └──__init__.py
| └── static

I think you have not added a url pattern to route you to 127.0.0.1:8000/foo
In the urls.py in project folder add the following
url(r'foo/$', view_name, name='foo'),
This will add a route to /foo/
