Trouble deploying csrf in Django 1.6

[NoviceSortOf]

I'm having trouble deploying csrf in Django 1.6

When I enable csrf  in settings either we get a Django error

or accounts can't login. 

Are there any special considerations for deploying csrf protection in 1.6?

I heard there was a utility for checking csrf in Django, where can I get

that utility and is it compatible with Django 1.6.

Any suggestions welcome.

Hi,

as you probably know, support for Django 1.6 ended a long time ago, so you'd better upgrade to 1.11 (1.8 is still supported but it's getting old). It might not affect this particular problem, but eventually you'll need to do it.

As to what you are asking, I guess that without some more information we can't say.

Regards,

A.

Thanks for the reply.

Upgrading to 1.11 is beyond the budget according to management.

So I'm stuck with 1.6 for now.

The upgrade from 1.1 to 1.6 took much more time that expected.

Anyhow after a reboot today csrf is working as expected. 

I'm still mystified as to what the problem may of been.

My only guess is it took a reboot to get the template to see {% csrf_token %}.

Here is info on the key components.

logon.html contains    <form method="post" action=".">{% csrf_token %}

settings.py contains

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (

    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',

    'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',

    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',

    'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware', #

    'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',

    'django.middleware.transaction.TransactionMiddleware',

    'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',

    'django.contrib.redirects.middleware.RedirectFallbackMiddleware',   

   'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',

    'djangosecure.middleware.SecurityMiddleware',

)
