Well, first things first: set DEBUG=True in your settings. The traceback you got there is saying there's an HTTP 500 error somewhere, so it's looking for a 500.html template to use to display that error. Django only tries to show that page if you have set DEBUG=False. In this case, you need to find out what the underlying error is, so set DEBUG=True and try /admin/ again.
Here's the docs on the 500.html page: http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/views/#customizing-error-views ---Peter On Thu, Jan 22, 2009 at 9:44 AM, bconnors <bob.conn...@wdc.usda.gov> wrote: > > when I typed in: http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ > > I got: > > Traceback (most recent call last): > > File "C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\django\core\servers > \basehttp.py", line 278, in run > self.result = application(self.environ, self.start_response) > > File "C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\django\core\servers > \basehttp.py", line 635, in __call__ > return self.application(environ, start_response) > > File "C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\django\core\handlers\wsgi.py", > line 239, in __call__ > response = self.get_response(request) > > File "C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\django\core\handlers\base.py", > line 116, in get_response > return self.handle_uncaught_exception(request, resolver, > sys.exc_info()) > > File "C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\django\core\handlers\base.py", > line 160, in handle_uncaught_exception > return callback(request, **param_dict) > > File "C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\django\views\defaults.py", line > 23, in server_error > t = loader.get_template(template_name) # You need to create a > 500.html template. > > File "C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\django\template\loader.py", line > 80, in get_template > source, origin = find_template_source(template_name) > > File "C:\Python26\Lib\site-packages\django\template\loader.py", line > 73, in find_template_source > raise TemplateDoesNotExist, name > > TemplateDoesNotExist: 500.html > > > > --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
