Using Django, why do I get a 404-error page not found, when I try to acces a page that should exist?

I made a project called trydjango where I can access products I created with the products/<int:my_id> [name='product'] link, but somehow it isnt working and I cant find the error. When i open http://127.0.0.1:8000/products/1/ , i get a 404 page not found error that looks like this

Page not found (404)
Request Method: GET
Request URL:    http://127.0.0.1:8000/products/1/
Using the URLconf defined in trydjango.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:

products/<int:my_id> [name='product']
products/ [name='product-list']
products/<int:my_id>/delete/ [name='product-delete']
about/
[name='home']
contact/
admin/
create/
initial/
The current path, products/1/, didn't match any of these.

You're seeing this error because you have DEBUG = True in your Django settings file. Change that to False, and Django will display a standard 404 page.

even though i have a product with the id=1 saved. I'm using the URL that I have configured in URL's and I can see that a product with the correct id exists when I access it from the page http://127.0.0.1:8000/products/, where I can see a list of all products with their id's.

This is my url's:

from django.urls import path

from pages.views import home_view, contact_view, about_view
from products.views import (
    product_list_view,
    product_delete_view,
    product_create_view,
    render_initial_data,
    dynamic_lookup_view,
    )


urlpatterns = [
    path("products/<int:my_id>", dynamic_lookup_view, name='product'),
    path("products/", product_list_view, name="product-list"),
    path("products/<int:my_id>/delete/", product_delete_view, name="product-delete"),
    path("about/", about_view),
    path("", home_view, name="home"),
    path("contact/", contact_view),
    path("admin/", admin.site.urls),
    path("create/", product_create_view),
    path("initial/", render_initial_data),
]

and my settings:

Can anybody see what I'm missing?

Your url pattern is: products/<int:my_id> and the requested url is products/1/. What's the difference here? Well the requested url ends with a trailing slash (/), while the pattern does not.

Even if you made a request to products/1 you would still be redirected to the url with the trailing slash as Django by default redirects all urls without a trailing slash to the same url with a trailing slash appended. Hence simply change the pattern to have a trailing slash:

path("products/<int:my_id>/", dynamic_lookup_view, name='product'),
