    else:
    # display login again
        return render(request, 'users/login.html',  {'form':form})

This is my view page when i runserver it takes me to login page then the problem start when i enter my credintials and try to log in

Page not found (404) Request Method: POST Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/users/login/index.html Using the URLconf defined in mazwefuneral.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:

admin/ product/ users/ login/ [name='login'] main/ accounts/

The current path, users/login/index.html, 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.

This is the error am getting

    Please post your `urls.py`: most likely `render(request, 'users/login.html', {'form':form})` needs to be changed to match the appropriate URL. – Kent Shikama Dec 06 '19 at 07:15

Are you trying to authenticate users with the login function here? If so you need to change your view like this:

def login(request):
   form = UsersForm()
   # first check if the request is post 
   if request.method == 'POST':
      form = UsersForm(request.POST)
      if form.is_valid():
         # get username and password if the form is valid
         username = form.cleaned_data['username']
         password = form.cleaned_data['password']
        #now authenticate user
         user = authenticate(request,username=username, password=password)
         if user is not None:
           #redirect to your success url
           return redirect('/product/itemlist')
         else:
         # redirect to login page
          messages.error(request,"Invalid username or password")
          return redirect('login')

    return render(request,'users/login.html',{'form':form})

  • This is my url from django.urls import path from .import views app_name="users" urlpatterns = [ path('login/', views.login, name='login'), ] – Nonsikelelo Zuma Dec 06 '19 at 07:48
