ROOT_URLCONF

[bcjarrett]

I had to add

from django.conf.urls import url
urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^$', lambda x: x)
]
ROOT_URLCONF = 'settings'

to my settings file to get my project to work (django 1.9). The lambda function is just a dummy function to fill the view paramater

I can confirm I needed to do this as well.

The workaround works in 1.9.
