If your website appears as a blank white page when you set `DEBUG = False` in your Django settings, it indicates that an error has occurred, and Django is not providing detailed error information to the end-user for security reasons. When `DEBUG` is set to `True`, Django shows detailed error messages, making it easier to identify and fix issues during development.
To troubleshoot the problem and determine the cause of the white page, you can follow these steps: 1. Check the Server Logs: When `DEBUG` is set to `False`, Django logs errors and exceptions to the server logs instead of displaying them to the user. Review the server logs to identify any error messages or exceptions that are being logged. The location of the logs depends on your server configuration. 2. Custom Error Pages: Django allows you to define custom error pages for different HTTP error codes. Make sure you have configured the appropriate error handling and error pages for your production environment. Check if any custom error pages are causing the white page issue. 3. Static Files: If your website relies on static files (CSS, JavaScript, images), ensure that they are being served correctly in the production environment. Check if the static files are properly collected and accessible. 4. Database Connection: Verify that your Django application can successfully connect to the database in your production environment. Ensure that the database credentials and configuration are correct. 5. Third-party Libraries and Dependencies: Check if any third-party libraries or dependencies used by your Django project are causing conflicts or errors in the production environment. Make sure you have installed and configured them correctly. 6. Security Settings: Certain security settings, such as the `ALLOWED_HOSTS` setting, need to be properly configured for your production environment. Ensure that `ALLOWED_HOSTS` includes the appropriate domain names or IP addresses for your website. 7. Email Configuration: If your Django application sends emails, double-check that the email configuration is properly set up in your production settings. By investigating these areas, you should be able to identify the cause of the white page issue when `DEBUG` is set to `False`. It's important to note that when running in production, it's generally recommended to keep `DEBUG` set to `False` for security reasons. Remember to restart your Django server after making any changes to the settings file.
