Mezzanine Debug = False issue

In my mezzanine based django project I have Debug = False set within my settings.py file

However, when visiting a url that does not exist my project still throws this error:

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.

Is there a second location where Debug needs to be set?

Solution

  • My guess is you need to change it in local_settings.py, which overrides settings.py variables in a Mezzanine project by default.

    While sometimes useful, running the development server with DEBUG = False is not a use case Mezzanine is designed to support out of the box and you may encounter buggy behavior. I recommend primarily using DEBUG = True with the development server and DEBUG = False with your production server.
