Middleware:

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
    'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
    #'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
    'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
    'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
)

Template Loaders:

TEMPLATE_LOADERS = (
    'django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader',
    'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader',
    'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
#     'django.template.loaders.eggs.Loader',
)

Any insights to what is causing the error would be very helpful.

Solution

  • Your problem is almost certainly that you have "django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth" in your TEMPLATE_LOADERS setting. As the name implies, that's a context processor, not a template loader - it should go in TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS.
