[Answered ]-Django doesn't render the requested view

url(r'$', views.index, name='index') matches the end of the string, so basically it will match any url, that’s why your code isn’t working. You need to replace url(r'$', views.index, name='index') with url(r'^$', views.index, name='index') so that it will match only empty url

^ asserts position at start of the string

$ asserts position at the end of the string, or before the line terminator right at the end of the string (if any)
