Troubleshooting

This page contains some advice about errors and problems commonly encountered during the development of Cookiecutter Django applications.

1. project_slug must be a valid Python module name or you will have issues on imports.
2. jinja2.exceptions.TemplateSyntaxError: Encountered unknown tag 'now'.: please upgrade your cookiecutter version to >= 1.4 (see #528)
3. Internal server error on user registration: make sure you have configured the mail backend (e.g. Mailgun) by adding the API key and sender domain
