I followed https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/flatpages/ and
I created a flatpage using my own template in http://localhost:8000/about-me/ and it works fine.
But when i've pushed it into heroku and reproduced to create one page, the server returns Internal Server Error
the Server log :
Traceback (most recent call last):

TemplateDoesNotExist: 500.html
The stack trace tells me that it can't find your 500.html template. Maybe if you give it one ti will clear up the error message to what the actual problem is.
Is the domain correct for the Site ID used by your flatpage? For instance if locally you say you site is the "localhost", but in heroku if it's served by "dev.internalnet.example" domain, that could cause issues.
Also, try setting DEBUG=True in settings.py, hit the page and you should get a fancy page with the exact stack trace causing the issue (and then it won't need to look for a 500.html template, although you should have one).
