authentication - django-axes not capturing failed login attempt, but captures admin failed attempts fine -

i using django-axes, , using exact same steps described in readme on github. able login , logout fine through django views, none of failed login attempts captured if going throught main website. none less, failed login attempts admin site captured fine. using failedloginmiddleware, , nothing admin specific. have double checked settings , configs, still failing find source of problem. please help.

middleware_classes = (     'django.middleware.common.commonmiddleware',     'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.sessionmiddleware',     'django.middleware.csrf.csrfviewmiddleware',     'django.contrib.auth.middleware.authenticationmiddleware',     'django.contrib.messages.middleware.messagemiddleware',     'axes.middleware.failedloginmiddleware', )  installed_apps = (     'django.contrib.auth',     'django.contrib.contenttypes',     'django.contrib.sessions',     'django.contrib.sites',     'django.contrib.messages',     'django.contrib.staticfiles',     'axes',     'django.contrib.admin', ) 

here projects urls.py:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url django.contrib.auth.views import login, logout, password_change   qs.forms import validatingpasswordchangeform  django.contrib import admin admin.autodiscover()  urlpatterns = patterns('',     (r'^login/$', login, {'template_name': 'auth/login.html'}),     (r'^logout/$', logout, {'redirect_field_name': '/login',                              'template_name': 'auth/logged_out.html'}),     (r'^passw_change/$', password_change,                             {'post_change_redirect': '/rage',                              'template_name': 'auth/password_change.html',                             'password_change_form': validatingpasswordchangeform}),      (r'^passw_reset/$', 'views.rage_password_reset'),     (r'^passw_reset/done/', 'views.rage_password_reset_done'),     (r'^passw_reset/(?p<uidb36>[0-9a-za-z]+)-(?p<token>.+)/$', 'views.rage_password_reset_confirm'),     (r'^passw_reset/complete/$', 'views.rage_password_reset_complete'),      url(r'^$', 'be.views.main.index'),     url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)), ) 

i can't think of reason why config wouldn't work- use django-axes , setup exact same yours , works fine. however, can force axes log doing following:

1. change axes.middleware.failedloginmiddleware axes.middleware.failedadminloginmiddleware in settings.py. (failedauthloginmiddleware isn't working you, don't use it.)

2. edit urls.conf:

   ... django.contrib.auth.views import login, logout, password_change axes.decorators import watch_login ... urlpatterns = patterns('',     (r'^login/$', watch_login(login), {'template_name': 'auth/login.html'}), ... 

this should force axes log attempts- , doing may shed light on initial issue was.
