My crystal ball predicts, this happens because there is no 404 error template nor a 500 one, so the app gives up and explodes.

Is this really a BLOCKER ?

[Laura Mesa [:lmesa] [:lvmesa]]

Sorry, accidentally put in the wrong value. This should be resolved for 1.0 regardless.

I feel this is actually critical ("this" being the broader issue from duped bug 652241 about the Django setup not handling bad/malformed URLs and exceptions), since allowing proper stack traces from the Django side to be sent to the team would help us better-triage HTTP 500 errors.  Setting as such.

This is caused believe it or not because the server is *not in DEBUG mode and it can't find a 404.html template (resulting in a 500 error, template not found) i.e. it's *not the app throwing a 500 error for bad URLs (in dev, with DEBUG on, you can see the debug 404 page -- it's returning 404s properly for bad urls - I added some very simple templates for 404 and 500 but we need a designer to make them legit.  Closing because it just needs a designer and should be a new ticket

I spun off bug 653864 about this.

QA verified. A templated 404 error page is displayed.
