[Booki-dev] GoogleBot and django errors

[Nicolas Dufour]

Hi,

The French site is currently affected by a bug in booki that produces django errors when accessing some pages, such as http://fr.flossmanuals.net/ecrire/_sputnik/ or /ecrire/feeds/atom/chapter/doudoulinux/doudoulinux/ (among others, with various django errors). Of course, we don't need to access to these pages directly, but that's what GoogleBot is trying to do... and the root user (redirected to Elisa and me) receive lots of error messages*.

Does someone already noticed that behavior with FMen or FMfi?
Of course, I would be great if it could be fixed in Django, but any workaround is welcome.
Regards.
