If your question is why you are seeing different response depending on the value of DEBUG, then the answer is that when DEBUG is True, Django will present you with the stack traceback so that you can debug what is going on and fix the problem.

But when the DEBUG is false, it means that your app is live and users can access it. You don't want to show your users all the traceback of your application if some error happens.

If that's not your question, the answer is that you just don't have that path configured in your app.

Hope it helps.

Since there is nothing after localhost:8000, it is trying to look for a url with regex "^/". Your website does not actually have that pattern. The patterns your site does have are provided in the error message "^/store", "^/accounts", etc.

If you were to type localhost:8000/store into the url, it would try and find a matching url following the patterns in the webapp following the "^/store" pattern (presumably named store) store/urls.py.

If you would like to access a page at localhost:8000, you will have to add a new pattern to the list in your root directory's urls.py file.

It's simple: there is no rule which match the "/" (root) route.

Add one in your urls module.
