Request aborted. Help Reason given for failure: CSRF cookie not set. In general, this can occur when there is a genuine Cross Site Request Forgery, or when Django's CSRF mechanism<http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/csrf/#ref-contrib-csrf>has not been used correctly. For POST forms, you need to ensure: - Your browser is accepting cookies. - The view function uses RequestContext<http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/templates/api/#subclassing-context-requestcontext>for the template, instead of Context. - In the template, there is a {% csrf_token %} template tag inside each POST form that targets an internal URL. - If you are not using CsrfViewMiddleware, then you must use csrf_protecton any views that use the csrf_token template tag, as well as those that accept the POST data.
