Can't Access User page in Admin

[hodgson_julian@…]

Hi,

On changing to mysqlite and going to the Admin User page, when I click on a User I get the error below.

It works when a test with python manage.py runserver, but not on apache.

Any help much appreciated, let me know if you need more info.

Cheers,

Julian

Please use a more recent version of Django -- 1.2 is insecure as it's no longer receiving security updates.

[hodgson_julian@…]

Thank you for your response.

Are you aware of this particular problem? My first choice would be to apply a patch if you have seen this issue before.

Otherwise which version do you recommend upgrading to? It's not in the internet so security is not such an issue. Also I'd need to upgrade to a version which doesn't require many changes because of limited resources here.

Looking forward to your reply,

Best,

Julian

I don't know. If you can upgrade to the 1.6 release candidate, we could at least see if the issue still exists. We are not fixing bugs like this on older releases. If you could provide a failing test case for Django to reproduce the issue, that would be most helpful.
