        usernmame = request.POST['username']
        password  = request.POST['password']

        user = authenticate(username=usernmame,password=password)
        if user is not None:
                login(request, user)
                return redirect(request,'index.html')
        else:
            return render(request,'userlogin.html')

There is a typo in your redirect function. Instead of passing request as the first argument, you should directly provide the URL you want to redirect to.

if user is not None:
    login(request, user)
    return redirect('index')  # Provide the URL name or the actual URL to redirect to
else:
    return render(request, 'userlogin.html', {'error_message': 'Invalid login credentials'})
