Hello everybody

Currently I'm learning python Web development by Django and I'm reading 
James McGaw' book: "Beginning Django E-Commerce" (Apress Edition).

So far, I've followed step by step the instructions given in the book and 
everything worked pretty well:

- installation of Django, MySQL,

- creation of the Django specific database tabes while I run
$ python -tt manage.py syncdb


- starting the server
$ python -tt manage.py runserver

I opened firefox and I saw the message "It worked!" while I entered the 
url "http://127.0.0.1:8000/"; which indicated that the server was running 
ready to receive requests.

Yet, things became more complicated when in the next chapter we started 
creating an application. I changed the content of the following files

- settings.py
- urls.py

and also creating the corresponding HTML files according to the directory 
hierarchy described in the book for the templates. After following step by 
step instructions in the book, I stoped and restarted the server with the 
new URL of the application, I got the following message on the browser

"*A server error occurred.  Please contact the administrator.*"

And on the terminal, where I had run the command to start the server I saw 
the following exception StackTrace

$  *python -tt manage.py runserver*
Validating models...

Any idea about this error? What causes this problem?

Thanks in advance,
