404 Issues

[James Hargreaves]

Hello,

I have created a website using Django CMS:

http://www.trailer-traders.co.uk

When I visit a URL on this site that does not exist in Django CMS I get a 500 error - eg:

http://www.trailer-traders.co.uk/xxx

I was expecting a 404 error. Before you say it I don't think this is caused by Django CMS since if I set DEBUG = TRUE in settings.py I get a page not found (404) error as expected. I have the following static files in my template directory:

lrwxrwxrwx 1 jay www-data   10 Apr 11 06:40 403.html -> error.html
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jay www-data   10 May  3 09:24 404.html -> error.html
lrwxrwxrwx 1 jay www-data   10 Apr 11 06:40 500.html -> error.html
-rw-r----- 1 jay www-data  863 Apr 11 20:53 error.html                                                                  

The contents of error.html file is output with the 500 error, which implies that the 500.html symbolic link is working. Why is the 404.html file being ignored? I have tried replacing the symbolic link with a static file but to no avail.

Unfortunately I don't have logging enabled for this site - I'm going to rectify that ASAP but in the meantime can anyone point me in the right direction?

Thanks

James

I need to import an already running database into a satchmo store.
I started to make an ER graph, as a reference for the fields mapping, by
myself, but if someone had already done it, i'd like to save time.

Thanks to all

You could use something like ER Master http://ermaster.sourceforge.net/
or Aqua Studio to generate the Graph.

django_extensions app has a model graphing option I used successfully in
the past - https://github.com/django-extensions/django-extensions

Example output I found

Showing the contents of the error email that Django sends to
settings.ADMINS when settings.DEBUG is false would be a start.
Typically you will get a 500 error instead of a 404 when your 404
template causes an error to occur during rendering.

I would very much doubt that symlinks would affect this at all.

Thanks for your response Tom.

I didn't have the emails enabled until now! The email content is below and this has helped me figure out the problem.

Some time ago I defined a custom 404 handler (application.views.handler404) which I have since removed but I forgot to remove the definition from urls.py!

Thanks for your help Tom :)

Traceback (most recent call last):

 File "/usr/local/lib/python2.6/dist-packages/django/core/handlers/base.py", line 149, in get_response

   return self._resolve_special('404')
