Question

I got a 500 error page which has a form, however the CSRF token is not generated when 500 error page is thrown. What’s the best way to generate the CSRF token on a 500 error page to make the form post work? Should I just define my own custom 500 error view?

Answer 1

OK, I tried defining the custom 500 view and worked, for anyone who has the same issue, here it’s how:

define a custom 500 error view

from django.shortcuts import render

def server_error(request):
    vars = {}
    return render(request, '500.html', vars, status=500)

then in the main urls.py add:

handler500 = 'your_app.views.errors.server_error'
