I have a very strange problem, and I don't know how to fix or debug it.
Short Story: I get locked out of my Django app when Debug is set to False.
Long story:
Case 1 (the first time it happened):
1. I enter my login info, but It just redirects to the login page.
2. I restart the server, try to login, and it works fine, I get in.
3. a few hours later I come back, log out, try to log back in and I can't. It just redirects to the login page.
Case 2 (I figure out how to provoke the login failure):
1. I restart the server and am able to login to the site.
2. I log in and log out several times, everything is fine.
3. I go to a non-existing page and get a server error.
4. I log out and try to log back in, and I can't, just get redirected back to the login page.
Case 3 (I can't provoke the login failure with Debug set to True):
1. I restart the server and am able to login to the site.
2. I log in and log out several times, everything is fine.
3. I go to a non-existing page and get a traceback.
4. I log out and log back in, everything works.
5. I wait and play around with it and can't get the login to fail while in Debug mode.
Please help!
