CherryPy URL Mapping not working

1.1k views Asked by At

I am trying to get the URL mapping to work, but so far have not been able to. I'm attaching the config.conf, global.conf and server.py files, please help.

I have read the CherryPy documentation on dispatch, but I just can't catch where I might be doing the wrong thing. I'm a newbie at CherryPy.

I get the following error:

404 Not Found

The path '/titles.html' was not found.
In addition, the custom error page failed: 
ValueError: unsupported format character '"' (0x22) at index 1916

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/home/dev/fbenavides/lib/python2.7/site-packages/cherrypy/_cprequest.py", line 656, in respond

Your handle for titles would be just that.

http://localhost/titles

No need for the .html. That's only relevant to the phyical path to your templating system. However if you really do what to reference:

http://localhost/titles.html

then change your handle to this...

@cherrypy.expose
def titles_html(self):
    today = date.today()
    tmpl = env.get_template('titles.html')
    return tmpl.render(launch1=(date(2014,2,18)-today).days)

Hope this helps!
