I am using Django 1.6.1 and I get this error at /admin The project is a new project with no additional models being used.

Reverse for 'logout' with arguments '()' and keyword arguments '{}' not found. 1 pattern(s) tried: [u'admin/$logout/$']

urls.py

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^admin/$', include(admin.site.urls)),
)

Is there anything that I can add to the urls to solve this?

you have to remove the $ from the regexp because you are including urlpatterns, hence appending the second piece of URL.

EDIT: to be more clear, the $ in a regular expression represents the end of the string, and it would make sense in an urlpattern that points directly in a view. but an urlpattern that includes another urlpattern is supposed to read only the first part of the URL, because the remaining part is read by the included one. from this the need to begin with ^ and to not append the $.
