Hi Brian. Thank you.
I've read the documents you pointed out. But the issue is not on
404/500 html templates, but in the DEBUG setting.
I've started a project from scratch to reproduce my error. I used the
instructions provided in the latest documentation to add FlatPages and
an Admin application.
When I add a FlatPage for my site index page (URL = /) it works fine.
Then, if I change the DEBUG flag to False in my settings.py, the index
page is replaced by a 500 error.
I think this is a bug. If someone has the same behaviour it should be
reported.
