Django Custom error page's giving error

Question

I'm trying to make custom error page general 404 and 500.

I'm not trying to raise just making a default if it happens for a user, but every place I'm trying to search and follows a tutorial and so on I always ends up in getting an internal error on both 500 and 404

I'm running django=1.11.6, and I'm running debug False because I need to see if it work of course.

How can I fix this issue and make it work? And how can I make it so it also gives the user the error text so they can send it to me?

Views.py (In my app folder)

# Error Handlers
def handler404(request):
    return render(request, 'handlers/404.html', status=404)

def handler500(request):
    return render(request, 'handlers/500.html', status=500)

Urls.py (in my main config folder)

from django.conf.urls import include, url, handler404, handler500
from django.contrib import admin

handler404 = 'staff.views.handler404'
handler500 = 'staff.views.handler500'

urlpatterns = [
    url(r'^', include('staff.urls')),
    url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
]

Firstly, you don't need custom handlers if you just want to use your own templates - just put your own 404.html and 500.html files in your root templates directory.

Secondly, rather than getting users to send you the error codes manually, you can configure Django to send you errors by email.
