I am also getting a "Not Found: /ws/chat/cujncvifd/" statement in the terminal. The following are the relevant pieces of code from the mentioned files: settings.py: INSTALLED_APPS = [ 'channels', 'common_anime_chat.apps.CommonAnimeChatConfig', 'users.apps.UsersConfig', 'django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.messages', 'django.contrib.staticfiles', ] ASGI_APPLICATION = 'anime_chat_app.routing.application' CHANNEL_LAYERS = { 'default':{ "BACKEND":"channels.layers.InMemoryChannelLayer" } } asgi.
