Comment (by yydsjkl):
### Proposed Fix
Below is a proposed fix for the login page (404) issue discussed in this
ticket.
This fix demonstrates how a Django project can manually define a login
route, view, and template.
It also helps clarify to new users why the default `/login/` route does
not exist.
```python
# mysite/urls.py
from django.urls import path
from . import views
urlpatterns = [
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
path('login/', views.login_view, name='login'), # Added login route
]
# myapp/views.py
from django.shortcuts import render
def login_view(request):
return render(request, 'login.html')
<!-- templates/login.html -->
<h1>Login Page</h1>
<form method="post">
{% csrf_token %}
<input type="text" name="username" placeholder="Username">
<input type="password" name="password" placeholder="Password">
<button type="submit">Login</button>
</form>
