This message is from Django, trying to tell you that there is a configuration error, but it can't display that error to you because it is missing the template for the "500" server error page. (Do you have DEBUG disabled in your settings? Set it to True, and Django should use its built-in technical error page, which will show you all of the details of the underlying error.) The error itself is very likely an import error, because that line in your urls.py shouldn't work. Specifically, 'patterns', 'include', and 'url' aren't defined directly inside of the django.conf.urls module, but as part of django.conf.urls.defaults.

It sounds to me like you are have a released version of Django (1.2, 1.3, etc) installed, but you are following the tutorial for the development version. (There used to be a big warning about this at the top of all every page in the development docs, but it seems to have disappeared.) Try following the tutorial starting at https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/intro/tutorial01/ instead, and see how far you can get. -- Regards, Ian Clelland <clell...@gmail.com> -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
