I'm running a simple Django project on Heroku. It works, but if I get a server error it doesn't give me any details in the logs. This makes errors incredibly hard to deal with.
Now I've set up a staging server and it has the same problem - the pages are failing and I don't get any feedback as to why.
$ heroku logs

As you can see, pages are returning as 500, but I'm not getting any stack trace information or similar.
Possible problems could be indicated by: 'Development server is running at...' - what does this mean and is it affecting error logging?
Also, I'm using a '500.html' template file to define a custom 500 error page. Could this be hiding errors somehow? It really shouldn't.
Or do I need to be looking in another place for logs with Django on Heroku?
Thanks!
