In one of my views I have the code:
raise Http404
When DEBUG=False
Django renders the template 500.html
instead of the correct 404.html
! I can't understand why!
EDIT: When DEBUG=True
I get the standard one (by Django)
Page not Found (404)
You're seeing this error because you have DEBUG = True in your Django settings file. Change that to False, and Django will display a standard 404 page.
What's more is that in the runserver
console I see clearly the 404
code. Instead, when setting DEBUG=False
in the console I get a 500
!! This is so odd.
EDIT 2: If I place a print statement just before raising Http404
I see the message when DEBUG=True
but not when it is False
!
EDIT 3: I can confirm that when DEBUG=False
the statement raise Http404
is never reached. How can it be possible??
Update
Actually with DEBUG=False
at every URL I get a 500. While with DEBUG=True
this does not happen. How can it possibly be?? It should run the same. I'm starting to think it is a Django bug.
