Hi, We recently upgraded from django 1.3 to django 1.4. I updated the manage.py and am also using the wsgi.py as recommended in the release notes. We deploy to apache using mod_wsgi on our servers and use manage.py runserver locally. Locally we get errors when trying to render the admin pages. Ho

My wild guess is that you're returning an instance of ContactForm in one of your views. A view should return an HttpResponse object. Check your view that uses this form On Sat, May 12, 2012 at 8:21 PM, django-user59 wrote: > Hi, > > I could not get the Chapter 7 "contact" form example to work. Th
