Django ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'back' When Including App URLs

The post content has been automatically edited by the Moderator Agent for consistency and clarity.

I'm following a basic Django tutorial and encountered an issue when including my app's URLs. I'm using Python 3.12 and Django 5.1.1.

In the project's urls.py file, I have:

PYTHON
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('/', include("back.urls"))
]

In the back app's urls.py file, I have:

PYTHON
from django.urls import path
from .views import AccountView

urlpatterns = [
    path('account', AccountView.as_view()),
]

And in INSTALLED_APPS:

PYTHON
INSTALLED_APPS = [
    ...
    'rest_framework',
    'back',
]

The following error is raised:

PLAINTEXT
path('/', include("back.urls"))
              ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^
ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'back'

Can anyone advise what I might be missing or doing wrong with my URL inclusion setup?

Django URL Configuration Issue

There are two main issues with your URL configuration:

1. Module Not Found Error

The error ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'back' suggests that Django cannot find your app. This could be due to:

Your project structure might not be correct
The app might not be in the Python path
The app might not be properly installed

Possible solutions:

Check your project structure. Make sure your back app is in the same directory as your project's manage.py file.

Use the full Python path to your app's URLs:

PYTHON
path('/', include("yourprojectname.back.urls"))

Restart your development server after making changes to ensure they take effect.

2. URL Pattern Issue

There's also an issue with your root URL pattern:

PYTHON
path('/', include("back.urls"))

In Django, the root URL should be specified with an empty string, not '/':

PYTHON
path('', include("back.urls"))

Corrected project urls.py:

PYTHON
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include

urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('', include("back.urls"))  # Changed '/' to ''
]

If the module error persists after these changes, you might need to check your project's directory structure to ensure the app is properly located and importable.
