No reverse match with unexpected arguments

Question

I haven't used Django for a long time. And I forgot how to solve a lot of usual issues. The site is on Dj 1.3. One day just started to return an error:

Exception Value:    
Reverse for 'page' with arguments '(u'yoga-class',)' and keyword arguments '{}' not found.

I'm not passing any args. The passed argument is domain name without domain zone, full domain is yoga-class.in.ua. Website worked for 2 years.

View:

class Index(ListView):
"""Front page, different from the list of posts just extra header.
On this page displayes category with checked "frontpage" checkbx."""

template_name = 'shivaapp/index.djhtml'
context_object_name = 'post_list'

def get_queryset(self):
    news = PostPages.objects.filter(parent_category__frontpage=True)
    news = news.order_by('move_to_top').reverse()
    return news

def get_context_data(self, **kwargs):
    """Extra data for header shifters."""

    context = super(Index, self).get_context_data(**kwargs)
    context['slideshow'] = ShivaImage.objects.filter(
                                    slide_show=True).order_by('ordering')
    context['dictums'] = Dictum.objects.order_by('ordering')
    return context

urls:

urlpatterns = patterns('',
    url(r'^$', Index.as_view(paginate_by=5)),
    (r'^feed/$', RSSFeed()),
    (r'^search', Search.as_view()),
    (r'^description/$', markdown_desc),
    (r'^redirect/(?P<url>\w+)/$', redirect_view),
    url(r'^cat/(?P<hash>[\w+\s]*)/$',
        CategorizedPostsView.as_view(paginate_by=5)),
    url(r'^page/(?P<slug>\w+)/$', PageOrSinglePost.as_view(), name='page'),
    url(r'^post/(?P<slug>\w+)/$', PageOrSinglePost.as_view(), name='post'),
)

httpd.conf:

Alias /robots.txt /var/www/path/to/robots.txt

What should I look for?

In your url regex you are using \w+ where as the argument is yoga-class. The - does not belong in \w+ character class hence the error.

You need to update this:

url(r'^page/(?P<slug>\w+)/$', PageOrSinglePost.as_view(), name='page'),

to this:

url(r'^page/(?P<slug>[\w\-]+)/$', PageOrSinglePost.as_view(), name='page'),

Thanks for helping! Pretty clear, but wonder that this stuff worked during 2 years!
