I got errors like the following while trying to logout of Django Admin:

ValueError at /admin/mymodels/mymodel/12/admin/logout/

invalid literal for int() with base 10: ‘12/admin/logout’

Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://127.0.0.1/admin/mymodels/mymodel/12/admin/logout/
Exception Type: ValueError
Exception Value:

invalid literal for int() with base 10: ‘12/admin/logout’

Turns out it’s bug listed here: http://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/10061

A temporary suggestion that works was made by carljm

In case it’s helpful to others: the simplest and least invasive temporary workaround is to just add this line in your urls.py:

admin.site.root_path = ‘/admin/’

If you run the admin at an alternate URL, just use the correct one here; if you run multiple admin instances, you can set the root_path for each one in the same way.

I got this got this error recently when trying to add the first entry of a model in the Admin section:


Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://mydomain/admin/escorts/escort/None/
Exception Type: ValueError
Exception Value: invalid literal for int() with base 10: 'None'

Exception Location: /lib/python2.6/site-packages/django/db/models/fields/__init__.py in get_db_prep_value, line 361
Python Executable: /usr/bin/python


Turns out I had overridden the save() function and it had worked fine. However the models.py file got corrupted and I lost the last few lines of the file including a line from my overridden save() function:

super(myModel, self).save(force_insert=True)
