This is your problem. Did you read this:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/contrib/flatpages/#ref-contrib-flatpages
Note the 4 step installation. The docs don't say to add anything to
your URLs.

No, not really. You are now running into another issue when you have
DEBUG=False. Please see this:
http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/http/views/#customizing-error-views
You need to define your own 404.html and 500.html templates. When
DEBUG=True, django let's you off the hook on this (because it will
display its own error page for you).

Well no, not necessarily. Sometimes you have content that you may want
to edit from time to time without messing with the code and possibly
restarting the server. Or you may have someone who works on the site
who doesn't know HTML and you've given him TinyMCE or another WYSIWYG
editor installed on the flatpages admin.

Sure you can do it either way.
