560728 - [k] Send developers email on exception

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

Description

[James Socol [:jsocol, :james]]

Currently, errors end up with an ugly Apache error page. We should replace that with a pretty 500.html error page. (I also think this might improve the stack traces we get in the error logs.)

[James Socol [:jsocol, :james]]

It seems like this may need to be done at the Apache level. Among other issues, the 500.html template in Django is stuck as a Django template, meaning it can't extend our nice Jinja templates.

However, it's relatively easy to get Django to send us the real stack trace (not the one that WSGI dumps in the error log, but what failed in the first place).

I'll set some default email addresses in this bug and I'll file an IT request to add the address of interested parties to the settings_local in support-stage-new.

Verified FIXED; I've seen the traceback emails on sumo-dev.
