I want to run this app on a local server and in the end on AWS. Can someone guide me on the steps I can take?

Look at could 9 then pythonanywhere, pythonanywhere runs on AWS but does all the IT techy stuff for you. I really struggle with gunicorn and all that wsgi nigx what ever its called.
Cloud 9 is just like using workspaces but with more grunt, and a great IDE plus its free!
for your local machine,
python manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000

14,918 PointsMy url file is as follows:
from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib.staticfiles.urls import staticfiles_urlpatterns
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^courses/', include('courses.urls', namespace='courses')),
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),

]
urlpatterns += staticfiles_urlpatterns()
And this is the views file
from django.shortcuts import render
def hello_world(request):
return render(request, 'home.html')
This is the setting file

And this is the home.html file

And finally this is the template file:
{% load static from staticfiles %}

<title>{% block title %}{% endblock %}</title>
<link rel="stylesheet" href="{% static 'css/layout.css' %}">

<body>
<div class="site-container">
<nav>
<a href="{% url 'views.hello_world' %}">Home</a>
<a href="{% url 'courses:list' %}">Courses</a>
</nav>
{% block content %}{% endblock %}
</div>
</body>
</html>
Thanks.

Treehouse Guest TeacherWeird, I don't see anything obviously wrong.
Is that the only error message you get? What if you try to go to one of the courses/
URLs?
