I just upgraded my Django from 1.4.3 to 1.5.1 using pip install django --upgrade
. After the upgrade, my dev site started getting Internal Server Error. I tried to run ./manage.py
command but it told me "The secret_key setting must not be empty". I checked my settings.py
file and it does have a SECRET_KEY
value there. So I don't know what's going on there. Someone else has the same problem?

2There are many possible reasons. I found several googling for `"The secret_key setting must not be empty"`, so start there. If none of those help, you'll need to include the contents of your `settings.py` in the question. – Aya May 01 '13 at 17:11
