This is my Urls.py for my project

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    (r'^ImageUpload/', include('ImageUpload.urls')),
    (r'^accounts/', include('registration.backends.default.urls')),
    (r'^$', RedirectView.as_view(url='/ImageUpload/list/')), # Just for ease of use.
) + static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

Can someone explain what the error means please?

Its complaining about line no.14 because Django is unable to determine the url named as "index" in your urls.py files. I don't see a URL named as "index" above. Where/What is the URL pattern for your home page?
