Django: "No module named context_processors" error after reboot

Question

I have a Django site that works on my PC, and was working briefly on my server after loading it on. I noticed my server had Django 1.6 and I upgraded to 1.8.

After rebooting, none of the pages on my site load and I get the error:

ImportError No module named context_processors

I read through the docs on Django and allauth. Django mentions that in 1.8 the context_processors moved and allauth says specific allauth tags are no longer needed in the TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS of settings.py.

Django: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/settings/

Allauth: https://django-allauth.readthedocs.org/en/latest/installation.html

Anyone else run into this? Am I on the right track? Do I need to change something in settings? I can't really tell if it's a Django or allauth issue so not sure where to start.

Any help is appreciated!

I encountered the same problem but I am upgrading from 1.9.1 to 1.10. I found there's a little difference in the settings.

This is the code from 1.9.1

TEMPLATES = [
{
    'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
    'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')],
    'APP_DIRS': True,
    'OPTIONS': {
        'context_processors': [
            'django.template.context_processors.debug',
            'django.template.context_processors.request',
            'django.core.context_processors.request',
            'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
            'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
        ],
    },
},
]

This is code for 1.10

TEMPLATES = [
{
    'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
    'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates')],
    'APP_DIRS': True,
    'OPTIONS': {
        'context_processors': [
            'django.template.context_processors.debug',
            'django.template.context_processors.request',
            'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
            'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
        ],
    },
},
]

The line django.core.context_processors.request is not valid in 1.10. Remove it and the code works well.
