[Ian@…]

same for mod_python.

Request Method: GET
Request URL: ​http://localhost:8080/admin/
Exception Type: AttributeError
Exception Value: 'WSGIRequest' object has no attribute '_user_source'
Exception Location: /src/django_src/django/core/handlers/wsgi.py in _get_user, line 123

akaihola solved it..
needed to add some new middleware

Anyway to find a solution for this?
Thx.

The solution is to add

"django.contrib.auth.middleware.RequestUserMiddleware"

to your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES tuple in settings.py.

manage.py startapp generation is broken in this regard (misses this entry).

The suggested bugfix did not work for me in svn r2883, the same error message keep occurring. Does not work with mod_python, apache-proxy or direct requests to the Django webserver.

[Malcolm Tredinnick <malcolm@…>]

Can you please provide more information about the error you are seeing (traceback details). Version 2883 of the code does not contain _user_source anywhere, so you are not seeing the same bug as originally reported.

[Antonio Cavedoni]

I used to have the same problem, until I read ​this: It used to be set in the mod_python and wsgi handlers. You will need to add "django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware" somewhere after "django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware" in MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES in your settings.py file. Otherwise accessing request.user will raise an AttributeError.

Could this be it?

Looks like that was the problem. (See last comment.)

I just ran into this with a fresh svn checkout, I think manage.py startapp should be fixed.

See the previous comments for the solution to the problem.
