Hi Kareem,
Regarding the 404 page error, you do not have to put a dot (.) at the end
of your URL. Django does not have such kind of a pattern match in your
urls. *127.0.0.1:8000/polls/ <http://127.0.0.1:8000/polls/> *is the correct
URL. Having said that, how does your index template look like? It might be
that you are getting a blank page because you are not declaring your
variables correctly in the template itself. Meaning it might not be
specifically a Django back-end error but a front-end html (template) error.
Have a look at your template variables and tags and see if your data is
correctly being presented to the template. You will need some code like:
{% if latest_question_list %}
{% for question in latest_question_list %}
Have a look at the template documentation
<https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/ref/templates/language/#templates>
for details.
