I've actually already looked into the DEBUG=True issue just now. Setting it to false causes an "Internal Server Issue".

So do I spend hours looking for a fix, look into replacing it with a static pages site (I'm thinking Hugo) or just go back to porting Flowx to Apple :-)

Setting DEBUG = False doesn't cause in Internal Server Issue. The issue is caused by something else, having DEBUG = True just means Django will return a detailed error page, instead of a generic 500 error page.

IIRC, DEBUG = True also used to leak memory, which doesn't matter so much for local development, where it's intended to be used.

I changed DEBUG = False and I get an "Internal Server Error" - you can check it now while I have a quick go at finding the cause.

I want to try static page generators (Hugo) instead since they are easier to maintain. So it's a prioritization question - do I spend time fixing this bug or spend the time on migrating.

Thank you for the prompt reply!

imho, static pages site is the best way to simplify. My personal favorite is hexo.io, but ultimately pick anything that gets the job done.
