Ошибка 500 шаблон

When building a web application, it’s important to provide a seamless and user-friendly experience even when things go wrong. One common issue that users might encounter is the “500 Internal Server Error.” While this error can be caused by a variety of server-side issues, you can still make the error experience more pleasant by creating a custom 500 error template. In this tutorial, we’ll walk you through the steps to implement a custom 500 error template in your Django project.

Why Create a Custom 500 Error Template?

The “500 Internal Server Error” is a generic error message that indicates a problem on the server’s end. Instead of showing users a technical error page, you can use a custom template to provide a friendlier message and reassure users that the issue is being looked into. A custom 500 error page can maintain your website’s branding, offer helpful information, and keep users engaged even in error scenarios.

Let’s dive into the process of creating and implementing a custom 500 error template in your Django project.

Step 1: Creating the Custom 500 Error Template

  1. In your Django project, navigate to the templates directory within your app’s main directory.
  2. Create a new subdirectory named 500 (matching the HTTP error code) inside the templates directory.
  3. Inside the 500 directory, create a file named 500.html. This file will contain the content of your custom 500 error page.

Step 2: Creating the Custom 500 Template

  1. In your Django project, navigate to the templates directory. If it doesn’t exist, create it within your app’s main directory.
  2. Inside the templates directory, create a file named 500.html. This file will contain the content of your custom 500 error page.

Step 3: Designing Your Custom 500 Error Page

Design your custom 500 error page just like you would for any other web page. You can use HTML, CSS, and even JavaScript to create an appealing and informative error page. Here’s an example of what your 500.html file might look like:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html lang="en">
<head>
    <meta charset="UTF-8">
    <meta name="viewport" content="width=device-width, initial-scale=1.0">
    <title>500 Internal Server Error</title>
    <style>
        /* Your custom CSS styles go here */
        body {
            font-family: Arial, sans-serif;
            background-color: #f3f3f3;
        }
        .container {
            text-align: center;
            padding: 100px;
        }
        h1 {
            font-size: 48px;
            color: #ff5733;
        }
        p {
            font-size: 18px;
            color: #555;
        }
    </style>
</head>
<body>
    <div class="container">
        <h1>Oops! Something Went Wrong</h1>
        <p>We're experiencing technical difficulties. Please try again later.</p>
        <p>If the issue persists, you can contact our support team at [email protected].</p>
    </div>
</body>
</html>

Step 4: Custom 500 View for Django handler500

Create a new view in one of your app’s views files. For example, if your app is named yourapp, you can create a view function in views.py:

from django.shortcuts import render

def custom_500(request):
    return render(request, '500.html', status=500)

Replace 'yourapp' with the actual name of your app.

Step 5: Updating Django Settings

To make Django use your custom 500 error page, you need to update the handler500 view in your project’s urls.py file.

  1. Open your project’s urls.py file.
  2. Add the following line to your URL patterns, before the urlpatterns list:
from django.conf.urls import handler500

handler500 = 'yourapp.views.custom_500'

NOTE: If your project is running in DEBUG mode, then you will not see the page, you need to update Debug Mode and ALLOWED_HOST in settings.py file, like bellow:

DEBUG = False

ALLOWED_HOSTS = ['*']

Step 6: Testing Your Custom 500 Error Page

To test your custom 500 error page:

  1. Start your Django development server.
  2. Simulate a server error (e.g., by intentionally causing an exception in your code). Example:
    def hello_world(request): raise Exception('This is a test error')
  3. Instead of the default technical error page, you should now see your custom 500 error page, providing users with a more user-friendly experience.

Conclusion

By creating and implementing a custom 500 error template in your Django project, you can ensure that users are greeted with a friendly and informative message even when encountering server errors. This simple effort can contribute to a better overall user experience and help maintain engagement with your website. Follow the steps in this guide to create a seamless error experience that aligns with your website’s design and branding.

Все откликнувшиеся на зов помощи будут упомянуты после выполнения целей 🙏🏻

Настройка представлений для ошибок

Первое, что нам необходимо сделать, это создать соответствующие представления для отлова ошибок и рендеринга своих шаблонов.

Делать мы это будем в файле views.py нашего приложения system:

system/views.py

from django.shortcuts import render

def tr_handler404(request, exception):
    """
    Обработка ошибки 404
    """
    return render(request=request, template_name='system/errors/error_page.html', status=404, context={
        'title': 'Страница не найдена: 404',
        'error_message': 'К сожалению такая страница была не найдена, или перемещена', 
    })


def tr_handler500(request):
    """
    Обработка ошибки 500
    """
    return render(request=request, template_name='system/errors/error_page.html', status=500, context={
        'title': 'Ошибка сервера: 500',
        'error_message': 'Внутренняя ошибка сайта, вернитесь на главную страницу, отчет об ошибке мы направим администрации сайта',
    })


def tr_handler403(request, exception):
    """
    Обработка ошибки 403
    """
    return render(request=request, template_name='system/errors/error_page.html', status=403, context={
        'title': 'Ошибка доступа: 403',
        'error_message': 'Доступ к этой странице ограничен',
    })

Обработка в urls.py

Далее нам необходимо добавить обработку представлений в главном urls.py файле:

backend/urls.py

from django.contrib import admin
from django.urls import path, include
from django.conf.urls.static import static
from django.conf import settings
from django.contrib.sitemaps.views import sitemap

from modules.blog.sitemaps import StaticSitemap, ArticleSitemap
from modules.blog.feeds import LatestArticlesFeed

sitemaps = {
    'static': StaticSitemap,
    'articles': ArticleSitemap,
}

handler403 = 'modules.system.views.tr_handler403'
handler404 = 'modules.system.views.tr_handler404'
handler500 = 'modules.system.views.tr_handler500'

urlpatterns = [
    path('ckeditor5/', include('django_ckeditor_5.urls')),
    path('admin/', admin.site.urls),
    path('sitemap.xml', sitemap, {'sitemaps': sitemaps}, name='django.contrib.sitemaps.views.sitemap'),
    path('feeds/latest/', LatestArticlesFeed(), name='latest_articles_feed'),
    path('', include('modules.blog.urls')),
    path('', include('modules.system.urls')),
]

if settings.DEBUG:
    urlpatterns = [path('__debug__/', include('debug_toolbar.urls'))] + urlpatterns
    urlpatterns += static(settings.MEDIA_URL, document_root=settings.MEDIA_ROOT)

Создание шаблона для ошибок

В папке templates/system создадим папку errors, а в ней файл error_page.html со следующим содержимым:

templates/system/errors/error_page.html

{% extends 'main.html' %}

{% block content %}
    <div class="alert alert-danger alert-dismissible fade show" role="alert">
        {{ error_message }} | <a href="{% url 'home' %}"><strong>Вернуться на главную</strong></a>
        <button type="button" class="btn-close" data-bs-dismiss="alert" aria-label="Close"></button>
    </div>
{% endblock content %}

Далее, чтобы увидеть работу наших страниц с ошибками, нам необходимо поставить режим DEBUG = False (т.е отключить).

Проверка работы страницы с ошибкой

При переходе на страницу с неправильным адресом я получаю ошибку 404, которую мы описали в шаблоне и представлении

При переходе на страницу с неправильным адресом я получаю ошибку 404, которую мы описали в шаблоне и представлении

Аналогично будет работать со страницей 403, 500. Только сообщение об ошибке будет то, что мы указали в представлении.

  1. 1. Кастомизация ошибок 404, 500
  2. 2. Кастомизация ошибки 403

Многие ресурсы имеют оформленные страницы ошибок, если происходит сбой в обработке запроса от клиента.

Для начала на сайте была сделана кастомизация наиболее часто возникающих ошибок, другие при отладке пока не попадались, но всё впереди.

Как объявлено в заголовке статьи, кастомизированы был следующие ошибки:

  1. 403 — Ошибка авторизации, доступ запрещён.
  2. 404 — Страница не найдена;
  3. 500 — Внутренняя ошибка сервера;

Кастомизация ошибок 404, 500

Для кастомизации ошибок 404 и 500 необходимо написать обработчики запросов, и достаточно написать их представления в виде метода.

В шаблоны добавляем свои кастомизированные html файлы, то есть:

  • error404.html
  • error500.html

Модуль, в котором реализованы представления для данного сайта — это

home.

В шаблонах этого же модуля помещены сами шаблоны кастомизированных ошибок.

В файле

urls.py

главного модуля сайта переопределяем обработчики по умолчанию:

  • handler404
  • handler500

В коде это выглядит так:

from home.views import e_handler404, e_handler500

handler404 = e_handler404
handler500 = e_handler500

Опишем представления в файле

views.py

модуля

home:

from django.shortcuts import render_to_response
from django.template import RequestContext


def e_handler404(request):
    context = RequestContext(request)
    response = render_to_response('error404.html', context)
    response.status_code = 404
    return response


def e_handler500(request):
    context = RequestContext(request)
    response = render_to_response('error500.html', context)
    response.status_code = 500
    return response

Кастомизация ошибки 403

Ошибка 403 возникает в том случае, когда не авторизованный пользователь пытается получить доступ к той части сайта, в которую доступ разрешён только авторизованным пользователям.

В Django это достигается за счёт проверки статуса пользователя и добавления на страницы защитного токена, механизм

CSRF.

Данная ошибка может возникнуть и в том случае, если пользователь авторизован, но совершает действия, при которых требуется проверка токена CSRF, а сам токен был потерян или не верен. Дело в том, что для корректности работы токена, необходимо добавлять в шаблоне в формах специальный тег:

{% csrf_token %}

В него и будет подставляться токен, но просто добавить в шаблон, его не достаточно. Прежде, чем начать рендер шаблон, необходимо добавить токен в контекст, который будет передан в шаблон. То есть,

from django.template.context_processors import csrf
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response


def any_request(request):
    context = {}
    context.update(csrf(request))

    ...
    return render_to_response('any_request.html', context=context)

Ну а теперь ближе к непосредственно кастомизации. Для работы csrf необходимо, чтобы в файле

settings.py

добавлен модуль csrf и указано представление, которое будет заниматься обработкой данной ошибки:

MIDDLEWARE = [
    ...
    'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
    ...
]

CSRF_FAILURE_VIEW = 'home.views.csrf_failure'

В шаблонах добавим

error403.html,

а в файле

views.py

пропишем обработчик представления.

def csrf_failure(request, reason=""):
    context = RequestContext(request)
    response = render_to_response('error403.html', context)
    response.status_code = 403
    return response
