django production server - Django not sending mail in 500 error case to ADMINS

问题

i have deployed django project finally on server and now it is working, but once i go to /admin/, i am getting 500 page but not notification.

this is what i have in settings_prod.py

from settings import *
DEBUG = TEMPLATE_DEBUG = False    
SERVER_EMAIL='my_mail@mail.com'    
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL='my_mail@mail.com'    
ADMINS = (
    (u'me', 'my_mail@mail.com'),
)    
MANAGERS = ADMINS

what am i doing wrong?

Do i need any SMTP setups for this? i thought, this is server mailing, so server has already everything setup to send error mails.

回答1:

OK, I got it by installing sendmail on server. for those who encounters the same problem.

apt-get install sendmail

I am in Debian.

good luck

In the official Django documentation I quickly found the solution for my environment, Apache 2.2.22 (Debian) and Django 1.9:
