I'm new to Django & I'm using version 1.8.3. I'm having trouble with the urls. I've searched everywhere for an answer and can't find one. No matter what I do, I keep getting a "NameError" and when I don't get an error, I just get the index.html page.
Both http://127.0.0.1:8000/ & http://127.0.0.1:8000/questions will render the index.html in the templates directory or throw an error.
I would like http://127.0.0.1:8000/questions to render the home.html in the templates/questions directory and http://127.0.0.1:8000/ to render the index.html in templates/.
I have the model registered in questions/admin.py and the app installed in MyProj/settings.py.
