Django 1.2.1 – CSRF verification failed – 403 Error

admin — Tue, 08 Jun 2010 17:52:57 +0000

Here is the kind of error you can get while attempting to make a POST request after migrating to Django 1.2.1:

403 Forbidden
CSRF verification failed. Request aborted. Help
Reason given for failure:
CSRF cookie not set.

To correct this, all you have to do is to add ‘django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware’, and ‘django.middleware.csrf.CsrfResponseMiddleware’ to your MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES in your settings.py file.

MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = ( ... 'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware', 'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware', 'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfResponseMiddleware', ... )
