I realized the book is not clear about the directory where we should place default.html file..
Its basically like this.. ..cms/first-page/flatpages/default.html

Had the same problem, different solution. I had to add ‘django.contrib.flatpages.middleware.FlatpageFallbackMiddleware’, to my middleware in settings.py

Hope this helps someone too

Glad it helped Patrick. I’ve not looked at what it does for this sort of error, but you can add APPEND_SLASH = True to your settings.py to auto-append trailing slashes to incoming urls. This will only work if you have django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware installed in your middleware settings, but it might sort out the slash-sensitive flatpage issue.

After days of debugging and trying to figure out why “get_object_or_404()” in django/contrib/flatpages/views.py was returning “No FlatPage matches the given query” I stumbled across this page. Thank you! Why is flatpages not more forgiving! (why does it not just append a slash if it doesn’t exist!!)

Solution provided by Machael and Ben works in different scenarios, but they are right. Thank you for the solution. This will help people who ignore few things while reading the ‘Practical Django Projects’ second edition.
