URLconfs

This settings variable for the root URL configuration:

ROOT_URLCONF

Django looks for urlconf and checks into the urlpatterns.

To map the root view, you need this:

urlpatterns = patterns('',

('^$', root_home_page_view),

# ...

)

If there are brackets in the url patterns, each bracket will become a parameter in the view function, after the first parameter of the type HttpRequest.
