I have a webapp that uses custom admin sites via {{{myadmin = admin.AdminSite()}}} and {{{myadmin.register(...)}}} If I access the admin site via the django internal development server, everything works. If I use fcgi the admin pages work only if I am an anonymous user (in that case I am redirected to the login screen, then to the admin pages and all is good). If I use fcgi and I am already logged in, accessing the admin pages gives this error: {{{ TypeError at /tips/admin/ coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, __proxy__ found Request Method: GET Request URL: http://www.peertraveller.com/tips/admin/ Exception Type: TypeError Exception Value: coercing to Unicode: need string or buffer, __proxy__ found Exception Location: /home/fpierfed/lib/python2.4/site-packages/django/utils/encoding.py in force_unicode, line 38 Python Executable: /home/fpierfed/bin/python Python Version: 2.4.1 }}}",Uncategorized,closed,Core (Other),dev,Normal,fixed,fcgi unicode __proxy__ databrowse,jeff@… mmulley@… me@…,Accepted,1,0,0,0,0,0
