404 when enabling admin with Django

Question

I had correctly configured a Django app and had it running smoothly. However, when I went to enable the administration panel, I encountered a 404 error upon uncommenting this line:

url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls))

Upon trying to access my site, I received this:

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

    1. ^admin/

The current URL, , didn't match any of these.

I can't figure out how to get around this error. Does anyone with some Django experience have a solution? Thanks!

EDIT: Here is the entire urls.py file:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url

# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    # Examples:
    # url(r'^$', 'cms.views.home', name='home'),
    # url(r'^cms/', include('cms.foo.urls')),

    # Uncomment the admin/doc line below to enable admin documentation:
    # url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),

    # Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
    url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

Seems that at current point, you are about to matching `''`, what's your whole urls files look like? Which url did you access, `yourdomain`, `yourdomain/` or `yourdomain/admin`? — okm, Jul 24 '12 at 16:07
Hi okm, I posted the entire urls.py in an edit. When I go to mydomain.com I get the error, however when I go to mydomain.com/admin, I get a 500 Internal Server Error — Andrew De Forest, Jul 24 '12 at 16:11
Check you have `'django.contrib.admin'` listed in `INSTALLED_APPS` in `settings.py` — Jon Clements, Jul 24 '12 at 16:11

You get the 404 at `/` because you have no urlpattern defined to handle that. At `/admin/` you get a 500, so *that's* your problem. Post the traceback for that 500 error. Why are you asking about a 404? — Chris Pratt, Jul 24 '12 at 16:31

Have you tried, http://yourdomain:port/admin ? If you are using the default url, I would try http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin
