I'm trying to add a Django-Simple-Captcha image to my application's login screen.
This is what I have added at the top of my forms.py file:
from captcha.fields import CaptchaField
This is what I have added to the registration form:
captcha = CaptchaField(
label="What does this say?",
required=True,
)
This is what I added to my site's url.py file:
urlpatterns += patterns(
'',
url(r'^captcha/', include('captcha.urls')),
)
I have also added "captcha" to my INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py
However, when I load the page, I see that the Captcha image is a broken link: http://predictstat.com/accounts/register/. The server shows this on the console:
[23/Dec/2013 16:30:47] "GET /captcha/image/56edd656ba57a2a3e71571373e1a59c564e3d592/ HTTP/1.1" 500 72336
However, there is no such directory "captcha" under the directory for my application. So where is it trying to look for this image? And why doesn't it exist?
On closer inspection, I found the issue was this:
Exception Value: The _imagingft C module is not installed.
Details how to solve this issue can be found here: Python: The _imagingft C module is not installed
There is no need to create any captcha directories.
The problem is that you did not update your urls.py as mensioned in the documentation:
urlpatterns += patterns('',
url(r'^captcha/', include('captcha.urls')),
)
Another problem could be that you did not run syncdb:
./manage.py syncdb
./manage.py migrate # If you use migrations
The same was happening in my application and I manage to make a very strange workaround (XGH alert) usising two slashes in django-simple-captcha 0.4.4
urlpatterns += patterns('',
url(r'^captcha//', include('captcha.urls')),
)
I think it may has something with the conflict of globally and virtureenv environment,may be there is another app which contains the name captcha.

I was doing tutorial "Writing your first Django app, part 1" and I got stuck in "Write your first view". I have fulfil all instructions regardings files. When I go to http://127.0.0.1:8000/ then I can see "The install worked successfully! Congratulations!" but if I go to http://localhost:8000/polls/ then I see:
Page not found (404)
Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://localhost:8000/polls/
Using the URLconf defined in mysite.urls, Django tried these URL patterns, in this order:
admin/
The current path, polls/, didn’t match any of these.
In this case according instructions I should see "Hello, world. You're at the polls index". I attached 2 files content and 2 interesting screens (why does it emphasize?).
views.py
from django.http import HttpResponse
def index(request):
return HttpResponse("Hello, world. You're at the polls index.")
urls.py
from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import include, path
urlpatterns = [
path('polls/', include('polls.urls')),
path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
]
I was looking answer in Stack Overflow (also in hints) or YouTube but unfortunately without success. Interesting but in another computer it works, but on my laptop not.
So you are doing the URLS incorrectly, or partially at least.
You need to create another app in django called polls:
python manage.py startapp polls
Then in the polls/urls.py file, include an extension for /polls, that references your view in polls/view.py:
urlpatterns = [
path('/polls', views.<view-name>, name='Polls URL')
]
Then it should work, otherwise you are doing something wrong and need to elaborate on our problem.
Note that Django's DEBUG should be True when developing at all times, so you can see the full error log. DEBUG=FALSE is used if you have a webapp public (aka deployed/in production.
Subject closed. Solution -> Bad configuration urls.py file in mysite and polls. Check content both files in tutorial context.
When going to login to the Django admin on my page, I geta 404 error and a "/admin/login/ url is not defined".
I only get this error while in the Production of my project - it works just fine locally. I am using A2 hosting and their support team has not been able to help me solve this problem.
The stack trace as well as the error url are seen in the second image.
Let me know if you need to see any code, I am more than happy to share I just dont want to be here all day posing all of my .py files when most of them wont matter anyways.
Code by request:
urls.py
from django.contrib import admin
from django.conf.urls import url, include
from django.views.generic.base import TemplateView
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
url(r'^students/', include("students.urls")),
url(r'^$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name="home.html"), name="home"),
url(r'^home/$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name="home.html"), name="home"),
url(r'^about/$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name="about.html"), name="about"),
url(r'^how_to_sponsor/$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name="how_to_sponsor.html"), name="how_to_sponsor"),
url(r'^malawi/$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name="malawi.html"), name="malawi"),
url(r'^stories/$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name="stories.html"), name="stories"),
url(r'^donations/$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name="donations.html"), name="donations"),
url(r'^staff/$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name="staff.html"), name="staff"),
url(r'^malawi_education/$', TemplateView.as_view(template_name="malawi_education.html"), name="malawi_education"),
]
admin.site.site_header = 'Maphunziro Project'
UPDATE:
I ran a migration and now the login screen displays like it normally does - I am still getting the login issue however.
Could this be a dependency problem? I have all of the same dependencies installed on the server as my localhost version but maybe I'm missing one that is required for production.
Try the address without the trailing slash 'www.educate-malawi.com/admin/login'. You can take a look at the documentation regarding the APPEND_SLASH here.
Update
I figured out what was causing the stylesheets to become invisible, though I don't quite understand it all. I set DEBUG=False in settings.py to test the error handling as described in the tutorial. Somehow setting debug to false causes the static files not to be locatable. I will look further in the configs to see if I can get a clear understanding why. Until then, please feel free to answer or comment with additional info. I am still learning!
Update
I'm going through a DJango tutorial from here and I hit a roadblock. I'm up to tutorial 3 where they explain how to refactor your urls.py file when I try loading up the admin site to make sure I haven't broken it. Sure enough it looked all wierd because it was missing the stylesheets. Stylesheets are pulled from here:
http://127.0.0.1:8000/static/admin/css/base.css
When I hit that link in my browser I get the custom 404 page I configured for my app. The stylesheets were working prior but I'm not sure which change broken them. I went through my urls.py file and reverted all of the polls specific url configs to no avail. Here's my current urls.py under hellodjango (the name of my project.)
from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url
# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
from django.contrib import admin
from django.http import HttpResponse
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
url(r'^polls/', include('polls.urls')),
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)
def page_not_found(request, template_name='404.html'):
return HttpResponse("Could not find the resource you asked for...")
handler404 = 'hellodjango.urls.page_not_found'
and here's the urls.py under my polls directory:
from django.conf.urls import patterns, url
# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
urlpatterns = patterns('polls.views',
url(r'^$', 'index'),
url(r'^(?P<poll_id>\d+)/$', 'detail'),
url(r'^(?P<poll_id>\d+)/results/$', 'results'),
url(r'^(?P<poll_id>\d+)/vote/$', 'vote'),
)
Help?
It looks like you don't have a URL pattern for /static. As such, the static/admin/css/base.css URL doesn't match any pattern, and so you get a 404. Try something like this:
from django.conf.urls.static import static
# ...
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# ...
url(r'^static/(?P<path>.*)$', 'django.views.static.serve',
{'document_root': settings.STATIC_ROOT}),
# ...
This should work for you -- go to /static/foo.css, and you should see your CSS.
It's worth noting that this is discouraged in a production environment. For your tutorial app, though, it'll work.
The staticfiles app provides a custom runserver management command that automatically serves the static files, are you sure you have the following in your settings?
INSTALLED_APPS = (
# ...
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
)
In production, you'll use the collectstatic management command that finds all of the static media and dumps it into STATIC_ROOT (this is the only purpose for this setting - it isn't used or needed during development).
Glad you figured it out. Here's why it works like this.
django.contrib.staticfiles overrides the runserver management command so that the static files are served automatically. To remind people that they shouldn't be using django to serve static files, this only happens when DEBUG = True, as you found out.
The documentation of the overridden management command explains that you can use the --insecure flag to make this work no matter the state of the DEBUG setting.
I have some problems with Django admin.
after syncdb, the result is:
Creating tables ...
Installing custom SQL ...
Installing indexes ...
No fixtures found.
What does this mean?
Anyway, when I visit the website admin panel http://www.example.com/admin/, I receive this message:
DoesNotExist at /admin/
Site matching query does not exist.
setting.py contains:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.sites',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
# Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
'django.contrib.admin',
)
ur.py contains:
from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url
# Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin:
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
# Examples:
# url(r'^$', 'rshd.views.home', name='home'),
# url(r'^rshd/', include('rshd.foo.urls')),
# Uncomment the admin/doc line below to enable admin documentation:
url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),
# Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:
url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)
You don't really need the sites framework if you only run one site from the project, so the easiest fix would be to remove the following item from your INSTALLED_APPS and the error should go away:
'django.contrib.sites'
You can also re-create the missing Site object from shell. Run python manage.py shell and then:
from django.contrib.sites.models import Site
Site.objects.create(pk=1, domain='www.example.com', name='example.com')
You can fix this error if you are using django.contrib.sites without removing it by changing SITE_ID = 1 value in settings.py file.
It is happen to me when I changed domain name on my server, I deleted old domain name from http://mynewdomainname.com/admin/sites/site/ manually, and the old domain record in database has id = 1, also I added new domain name mynewdomainname.com and it is id was id = 2,
I just changed to SITE_ID = 2 and the error gone SITE_ID refers to current "pk" of active domain name you use as default.
In code:
>>> from django.contrib.sites.models import Site
>>> # get_current() came from SiteManager class manager,
>>> # see site-packages/django/contrib/sites/models.py
>>> current_site = Site.objects.get_current()
>>> print(current_site.pk)
2
>>> print(current_site.domain)
'http://mynewdomainname.com'
this happen after settings.py changed
SITE_ID = 2
Be careful about current domain id in django sites app.
The same problem also suddenly came to me, and you know there're many solutions. However, what's the reason of this sudden problem?
After dig in deeply, I found the reason is that, we ignored a step in the first syncdb action.
When you have your first syncdb, django will ask you to create a default account, if you don't input in this interactive show, that site object would not be created automatically.
So be careful of this. I'm using django 1.3.1, don't know whether the latest version has resolved this issue.
Since the above comments are pretty old and the syncdb command doesn't exist, and I don't want to remove django.contrib.sites, here's what worked for me:
Increment SITE_ID. I had SITE_ID = 1, changed it to SITE_ID = 2 and everything worked again.
Add SITE_ID = 1 in your settings.py
just fixed the issue by an another way:
I use PostgreSQL and Django 1.45...
as i removed the www.example.com Site and added a new www.xxx.com Site it was added as ID=2
'cause PostgreSQL doesn't go back in the ID numbers and the login and logout Django-Sites are somehow bound only to the ID=1 Site in your DB...
I went to my PostgreSQL DB and changed the ID of www.xxx.com to 1 and then I was able to see the login and logout Site again :)
btw. [yes, you just can remove the django.contrib.sites from your settings.py if you don't need it ^^ (but I haven't tried this one out in my case, with the ID number problem)]
hope it will work for further users! ;)
Yes change the SITE_IT=1 to SITE_ID=2 and everything is ok
Yes, the solution mentioned at the top can be (part of) the solution.
I've noticed however, that not only including django.contrib.sites without configuration can cause that problem, also including any site of
allauth (pip install django-allauth) might cause this problem if said package is not configured correctly.
(And allauth is as far as I've seen not configured correctly by default...)
Another thing you can do is simple if you get some error or just want to change site.
Download sqlitebrowser
open your sqlite.db
search for django_sites
change domain name and display name to whatever you want
Check your Window task manager and make sure that there is 1 process name 'python.exe' is running. If there are many, delete all of them then restart the server. This solution works for me.
I added a model to admin via admin.site.register, and it does not show up in admin. Since admin is so "It just works", I have no idea of how to debug this. Pointers?
After adding and registering your admin:
# app/admin.py
class YourModelAdmin(admin.ModelAdmin):
pass
admin.site.register(YourModel, YourModelAdmin)
Make sure your app is in your project settings.py:
# settings.py
INSTALLED_APPS = (
# other apps ...
'app',
)
Sync your project for that model if you have not done so already:
python manage.py syncdb
Restart your server, CTRL-C:
python manage.py runserver
In such a situation is also a good practice to check if the user logged in to the admin panel has rights to manage such a model. If they do then you could change your code to access the functions as root.
When in doubt, shut down server, syncdb, start server.
I have the experience, that sometimes after changing an admin.py the dev-sever won't be restarted. in that case touch settings.py helps.
I think the checklist in Thierry's answer is almost definitive, but make sure that urls.py contains admin.autodiscover() to load INSTALLED_APPS admin.py modules.
# urls.py
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
('^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)
More info in the django docs.
Have you added the application to your installed apps? That has happened to me both one and two times. :) Otherwise it would be useful for us to see the code to help you.
Also make sure there are no syntax errors in your admin.py or anything. That can cause an app to fail to be registered with the AdminSite.
I've faced the same problem, but it was a little tricky than yours.
Consider, that you have a project with, say, five or even more apps. For me it is more obvious to register all models in just one admin.py file, so I have decided to do it in one place - core directory. Of course, it was not an app, so none of models showed up on admin page.
comment out the some lines in urls.py see docs for more details
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
('^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),
)
