Django 1.1 returns 500 instead of 404 in non-debug mode

[prabhu S]

Hi All,

I am not noticing a weird issue in django 1.1. When DEBUG is true in
settings and if I try a non-existent url, django shows me a friendly
404 page. Now I create 404.html and 500.html and place this in
templates directory. Then If I turn off debug and try a non-existent
url, I expect to see my 404 html. Instead django shows me 500.html.

Infact, even in development I see 500 error codes for missing css,
images and js.

Is anyone else noticing the same issue? Am I missing something?

Regards,
Prabhu

Re: Long Poll in Django

[prabhu S]

long poll, push ajax, comet wow too many names for this!!! It will be
interesting to study http://code.google.com/p/pygowave-server/ and
find out how they implement this.

Re: Django 1.1 returns 500 instead of 404 in non-debug mode

[prabhu S]

Hi Karen,

Thanks for replying. I have put my 404.html in the same place as that
of 500.html. To make sure, I even copy pasted 500.html and changed the
error message text alone.

Here is an output from the django development server, when I tried to
access "sdfsa" (Invalid url)

[30/Jul/2009 18:25:45] "GET /admin/clienty/sdfsa HTTP/1.1" 500 1387
[30/Jul/2009 18:25:45] "GET /scripts/jquery-1.3.2.min.js HTTP/1.1" 500
1387
[30/Jul/2009 18:25:46] "GET /css/style.css HTTP/1.1" 500 1387

I have the sources online at http://github.com/prabhu/invoicy. I would
appreciate if you can take a look at settings.py and let me know if
something is obvious.

Thanks & Regards,
Prabhu

Hi Luke,

Thanks for your email. The particular source is already fine with
no /. I also tried adding slash assuming you swapped the particular
line in your email.

Can you give another shot and let me know if you can spot something?

Thoughts on many-to-many relationship

[prabhu S]

Hi All,

When I try to create a Group (django.contrib.auth.models.Group)
dynamically, I get the below error.

'Group' instance needs to have a primary key value before a many-to-
many relationship can be used.

This is because I am trying to add permissions to the group object and
trying to save every thing in one shot. As a work around to this
problem, I am doing an intermediate save and reload of Group object,
which seems to work fine.

Is there a logical reason behind this error? Is this something
fixable?

Regards,
Prabhu

Re: Django newbie deployment question

[prabhu S]

Your apache server would run as www user. Where as you have saved your
project in /root with root as the owner. To do this properly, do not
save your django project in /root. Have it somewhere like /var/www and
make "www" as the owner. Also fix execute permissions.

chmod -R 700  should do. Or try 744

Re: modelform validation errors

[prabhu S]

The method create_profile returns profile after saving. But this
object will not contain primary keys etc generated in the db. To work
around this common issue with django

profile.save()
# Get the data again from db.
profile = Profile.objects.get(user=username)
return profile

Let me know if this helps.

Re: Log in problem

[prabhu S]

I think this should fix. Additionally if you are using
render_to_response for some reason, it passes Context instead of
RequestContext.

To solve this do render_to_response('view', {},
context_instance=RequestContext(request))

Re: Python Conditional help

Also declare dan_id and stu_id as string. Unless request.GET can
magically return you number, which I am not sure.

Looks we are doing compilers job here :)

Re: cab snippet add gives error

[prabhu S]

Appears like a data type mismatch. Are you entering some string value
in a integer field or something of that sort?

Re: Receiving email, similar to Rails

[prabhu S]

Not sure whether this is possible out of the box yet. But here is some
starter. 
http://code.google.com/p/jutda-helpdesk/source/browse/trunk/management/commands/get_email.py

jutda-helpdesk project as a whole should be a good reference.

Right. If you are looking for more complex queries take a look at Q

Re: Django on Hostmonster shared hosting

[prabhu S]

in mysite.fcgi fix the settings file name.

os.environ['DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE'] = "mysite.settings"

Your settings file is inside a directory called "mysite". It will help
if you quickly take a look at modules documentation in python.

Also your fcgi complains about several missing parameters. It may not
work correctly without them.

WSGIServer: missing FastCGI param REQUEST_METHOD required by WSGI!
WSGIServer: missing FastCGI param SERVER_NAME required by WSGI!
WSGIServer: missing FastCGI param SERVER_PORT required by WSGI!
WSGIServer: missing FastCGI param SERVER_PROTOCOL required by WSGI!

Re: Using email instead of username in extended "User" model?

[prabhu S]

Going a step backward, why cant you make username same as email. Have
a custom login_required decorator that uses email and password to
authenticate, override registeration pages and not show username
field?

It seems to work for me.

Re: Recursive request and page layout

[prabhu S]

It will be awesome if you can make and open source such a tag.
Shouldn't be hard since templates can be evaluated independent of
http. If you want something simpler, use iframe and point it to the
correct url.

Re: weirdist situation I have faced in 4 years of (ab)using django

[prabhu S]

Hi KG,

Nice to meet you! How are you confirming if the data is from Meeting?
Are you looking at the final rendered html? What does a print after
the statement

p = Event.objects.get(pk=id)

tell you? Also check if you have just one view for the particular url
mapping.

Prabhu

Re: Standalone script with django's ORM and multiprocessing

Solution appears like a hack to me. Why do you close the connection in
every process? Can you not just close once in parent? Execute commits
alone in each process.
