When you make changes to Django code, you need to restart the server. When you're running the built-in development server, it usually detects any changes and restarts itself - but sometimes it can get stuck and doesn't restart. It was probably a coincidence that refreshing a certain page twice sorted it out for you. To be safe, after you make code changes check the console you're running the server in - you should see the 'Django version x.. development server is running at...' header appear again. If not, press Ctrl-C to quit the server and run ./manage.py runserver again. -- DR. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
