You have two problems. First, a server error (uncaught exception) happened when trying to generate a page in response to the url you entered. When that happens, and debug is off, the server responds with a generic "server error" page. For this it needs a 500.html template, but you apparently haven't created one, so that's your second problem. You will need a 500.html template eventually, but as you are just getting started it would be easier at this point if you just set DEBUG to True in settings.py. Then, when a server error happens, the server won't even try to use a 500.html to generate a generic "server error" page but rather will generate an informative debug page that will help in figuring out what is causing the first error.
