Bad Request (400) response on previews

[Skip S.]

Hi there,

I have Wagtail installed using the debian.sh script on a dedicated machine and everything works beautify with '*' in ALLOWED_HOSTS. If I set it to the hostname which in my case is wagtail.local (within nginx conf and /etc/hosts) then everything except preview works which displays a page at http://wagtail.local/admin/pages/preview/ with the text "Bad Request (400)".

Any help is appreciated :-)

Thanks!

Just in case it helps root out the issue I am also seeing the same behavior ( Bad Request ) when viewing drafts from the admin listing. 

Thank you

Have you added the following into your nginx configuration?

proxy_set_header Host $host;

[Karl Hobley]

Ignore that.

What do you have in your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES setting?

Thank you for your reply.

I was a dumbhead and solved the issues by setting the host to wagtail.local in Django admin Sites section at /django-admin.

Can you explain a bit more what you did? I have the same problem. Which file did you edit?

In case you haven't figured it out yet, make sure the settings at http://localhost:8000/django-admin/wagtailcore/site/2/ are correct.
