I'm sorry - but this isn't your real error.

You will see it in your WSGI daemon logs once you set DEBUG to false.

 

This error is caused by Django trying to print the error using ascii codec for the debug output (I haven't chased it down any further and I should really report it).

 

As said, your real error is somewhere else and that will probably make more sense.
