Why get "Server Error 500" instead of 404 template?

[Chris Seberino]

I cannot track down why 404 page isn't being used.  I can't get any help from syslog or Nginx log files.

I tried adding DEBUG=True to settings.py and still no clues.

I only get "Server Error 500".

Here is settings.py

TEMPLATES        = [{"BACKEND" :

                        "django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates",

                     "DIRS"    : [VIEWS.format(e) for e in APPS],

                     "OPTIONS" :

                        {"context_processors" :

                         ["django.template.context_processors.debug",

                          "django.template.context_processors.request"]}}]

MIDDLEWARE       = ["django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware",

                    "django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware",

                    "django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware",

                    "django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware",

                    "django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware",

                    "django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware",

                    "django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware"]

WSGI_APPLICATION = "nginx.wsgi.application"

INSTALLED_APPS   = APPS + ["django.contrib.admin",

                           "django.contrib.auth",

                           "django.contrib.contenttypes",

                           "django.contrib.messages",

                           "django.contrib.sessions",

                           "django.contrib.staticfiles"]

Hello,

Usually when you get a mere "Server error 500" without it showing you the Debug page though you have DEBUG=True, this means that the error occurs very early, before Django has had the opportunity to run. In that case, the error should have been logged in the gunicorn/uwsgi/whatever log, i.e. in whatever program it is that runs Django.

For more information, you need to show us your nginx configuration and your wsgi server configuration.

Regards,

Antonis

Thanks a million.  Here is what you asked for...

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

 % more wsgi.py 

import django.core.wsgi

import os

os.environ.setdefault("DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE", "settings")

application = django.core.wsgi.get_wsgi_application()

---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

% more nginx.conf

server {

        server_name         ~^(www\.)?domainname\.(org|com)$;

        listen              80;

        return              301 https://domainname.org$request_uri;

}

server {

        server_name         ~^(www\.)?domainname\.com$;

        listen              443 ssl http2;

        }

}

I didn't have logging enabled in my settings.py.

Problem solved.
