Error while live editing a django template on linode

Hi, I tried to live edit base.py template but now my app has internal error. I undo the changes but still get 500 error while accessing website. Tail -f of my application_name.log shows:

 File "/home/jalala/projects/Hamkharid/eggs/Django-1.3.1-py2.7.egg/django/template/base.py", line 108, in __init__
    self.nodelist = compile_string(template_string, origin)
  File "/home/jalala/projects/Hamkharid/eggs/Django-1.3.1-py2.7.egg/django/template/base.py", line 136, in compile_string
    return parser.parse()
  File "/home/jalala/projects/Hamkharid/eggs/Django-1.3.1-py2.7.egg/django/template/base.py", line 237, in parse
    self.invalid_block_tag(token, command, parse_until)
  File "/home/jalala/projects/Hamkharid/eggs/Django-1.3.1-py2.7.egg/django/template/base.py", line 291, in invalid_block_tag
    raise self.error(token, "Invalid block tag: '%s'" % command)
TemplateSyntaxError: Invalid block tag: '%20get_static_prefix%20'

And tail -f of error.log shows:

Is there anything I can do now? sorry but this is very urgent for me so your kind helps will be very appreciated.

Thanks,

Looks like you have two problems:

1) There is no 500.html template, so it bombs out when handling the original exception.

2) Whatever template it is trying to render has an invalid block tag… grep around your templates for "getstaticprefix" and make sure nothing has any %20 junk around it. Note that Django caches things rather aggressively, so you'll probably have to restart Django if you've fixed the problem. Also, base.py isn't a template and probably shouldn't be edited unless you're actively developing Django.

If worse comes to worse, set DEBUG=True and TEMPLATE_DEBUG=True in your settings.py and it will show you exactly where the problem is.
