I'm trying to build a login page. I'm running Django 1.6.1. I've largely been following the tutorial at www.fir3net.com/Django/django.html. For convenience I will repost a lot of it here.

Base Template Used to Create Login Page (the file is named base.html):
Note - the CSS styling is bootstrap based
<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
{% block head %}
<link rel = "stylesheet" href = "style.css" />
<title> {% block title %}{% endblock %} - My Webpage</title></div>
{% endblock %}
</head>
<body>
<div id = "content">{% block content %}{% endblock %}</div>
<div id = "footer">
{% block footer %}
© Copyright 2011 by <a href="http://domain.invalid/">you</a>
{% endblock %}
</div>
</body>
</html>
HTML Code for the Login Page (the file is named login.html):
{% extends "base.html" %}
{% block main %}
<div id = "login">
<form class = "form-horizontal" name = "LoginForm" action = "/login/" method = "post">
{% csrf_token %}
{% if next %}
<input type = "hidden" name = "next" value = "{{ next }}" />
{% endif %}
<div class = "control-group">
<label class = "control-label" for = "username">Username</label>
<div class = "controls">
<input type = "text" id = "username" placeholder = "Username">
</div>
</div>
<div class = "control-group">
<label class = "control-label" for = "password">Password</label>
<div class = "controls">
<input type = "password" name = "password" id = "password" placeholder = "Password">
</div>
</div>
<div class = "control-group">
<div class = "controls">
<button type = "submit" class = "btn">Login</button>
</div>
</div>
</form>
</div>
{% endblock %}
I had the same error, and i did this and it worked. Change:
username = request.POST['username']
password = request.POST['password']
to:
username = request.POST.get('username')
password = request.POST.get('password')
The above handles both the POST and GET methods that may result. I hope this helped.
When a request resolves to a view that's wrapped with the @login_required decorator, the request is redirected to the specified URL if the user is not logged in. So attempting to resolve your main_page view while not logged in will cause the user's browser to issue a GET request to /login/. However, the view that handles that URL assumes a POST request:
username = request.POST['username']
password = request.POST['password']
The usual approach would be to follow the general pattern for using a form in a view: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/forms/#using-a-form-in-a-view
Specifically, check the request.method attribute so you can behave appropriately on a GET request and render the form. Or use the built-in views, they're pretty easy to work with.
I was able to suppress error by following @Emack333 but then, the code on views.py was not working and then upon close inspection, I've found that error was not on view file, rather it was on HTML side.
This error got generated because there was a mismatch of name attribute on the HTML input tag and in your case, it was name attr is missing.
<input type = "text" id = "username" placeholder = "Username" name="username">
The real issue is the forms within your template.
You need to use the 'name=' attribute to assign the name of the key instead of the 'id=' attribute.
I just solved this for my own project and realized this was the culprit.
