How to get a Django application view on 127.0.0.1:8000?

I am new to Django and was learning about views and urls. This is from the official Django documentation.

urls.py ->

from django.conf.urls import url

from . import views

urlpatterns = [
    # ex: /polls/
    url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'),
]

views.py ->

from django.http import HttpResponse


def index(request):
    return HttpResponse("Hello, world. You're at the polls index.")

So if my Django server is running on default port 8000 and if I type the address 127.0.0.1:8000/polls where polls is my app name I will be redirected to a view saying Hello, world. You're at the polls index. I want my server to display a view when I type in the url 127.0.0.1:8000 without the app name. If this is possible, how should I do it?

You need to add the url(r'^$', views.index, name='index'), to your project's urls.py not in app's urls.py.

you have to change it at the main urls.py. This file is maybe in the mysite folder. So change

url(r'^polls', include('polls.urls')),

to

url(r'^', include('polls.urls')),
