Add the following in Setting.py
# AMDIN CONFIGURATION
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ADMINS = [('hiveme', '[email protected]')]
# EMAIL CONFIGURATION
#-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
EMAIL_BACKEND = 'django.core.mail.backends.console.EmailBackend'
When set from this, if the server generates 500 errors it prints the error message to the log/screen. You can also set up other EMAIL_BACKEND so that it will email errors to your email.
