That didn't resolve the problem, but it did mvoe it around:  I can get
to the 'admin' application at that point, but the "root" page is busted,
with the following error:


 Page not found (404)
 Request Method: 	GET
 Request URL: 	http://localhost:8000/

 Using the URLconf defined in rztest.urls, Django tried these URL
 patterns, in this order:

    1. ^admin/

 The current URL, /, didn't match any of these.
