Django poll app tutorial is not working as expected in my server

i am cuurently working on django poll app tutorial and i am getting this error .

Using the URLconf defined in mysite.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:

polls/
admin/
The empty path didn't match any of these.

already tried restarting the server ,migrate the data and settings.py having installed apps . however django tutorial doesnot ask you for this until now. working on windows 10 64 bit

polls/urls.py

from django.urls import path
from . import views
urlpatterns=[path('',views.index,name='index'),]

mysite/urls.py

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import include,path
urlpatterns=[path('polls/',include('polls.urls')),path('admin/',admin.site.urls')),]

results should be response from the views.py file

I had this problem when I put the urls.py by mistake in the upper mysite/ upper root folder, to solve it just move the urls.py file inside mysite/mysite/ path as the root folder structure is like this:

mysite/ (don't put urls.py inside this one!)
    manage.py
    mysite/ (put it inside here!)
        __init__.py
        settings.py
        urls.py
        asgi.py
        wsgi.py
    polls/
        __init__.py
        admin.py
        apps.py
        migrations/
            __init__.py
        models.py
        tests.py
        views.py

please check this answer as it looks like a duplicate of the same problem

Your code is ok , you are trying to access a url that you never mentioned in the mysite/urls.py.

Change url pattern in msysite/urls.py to the following to access the polls app 127.0.0.1:8000/

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import include,path
urlpatterns = [
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('',include('polls.urls')),

]

And in polls/urls.py 

urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.index, name='index'),
]

NOTE: The urlpattern you tried will work at http://127.0.0.1:8000/polls/ Since you used following code in mysite/urls.py

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import include,path
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('polls/',include('polls.urls')),
]

I think everything with your code is ok. But you are propapbly visiting "localhost:8000" instead of "localhost:8000/polls".

If you want to work on polls app on root URL, you need to edit your code this way:

mysite/urls.py

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

polls/urls.py

urlpatterns = [
    path('', views.index, name='index')),
]

I think also you have to make your code more clear, too look more readable for everyone (for you too!)
