Apache 500 error with debug = false

[Emil-G]

Hi,

When copying the Sample project and doing two changes to the settings.py:
changing debug:
DEBUG = False
allowing hosts:
ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*']

and starting that with Apache if fails with a 500 internal server error. Works when debug = true. Looks like there could be a lot of different reasons as to why this is happening.
Any clue into why?

Is this fixed by #257?

@tobami : No, #257 is needed to get the application to load on Apache, it wont work without changing that one.
From what I could understand, DEBUG = True ignores any strict checks/validation of the code, so when setting False, it fails. However, I don't have any idea as to which part of code that it failing the checks. It was just a clean git pull from master, so no customization was done here (except for the Django loading change introduced in 1.7 I belive.)
I did this setup as a favor for a dev in my company, he did not care with it running in Debug mode. So you can just close this unless you want to debug where it fails the Django validation.
