4796	Accessing admin pages as a logged in user crashes under apache + fcgi	fpierfed@…	Adrian Holovaty	"Hi,

I am using the newforms-admin branch from SVN (revision 5632) under apache 2.0.54, flup SVN (revision 2354) and Python 2.4.1. 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:
