How can I create custom error views in Django?

You can create custom error views in Django by defining your own view functions and mapping them to error codes in your URL configuration.

Can you show me an example of a custom 404 error view?

Sure! You can create a view like this:

from django.shortcuts import render

def custom_404_view(request, exception):
    return render(request, '404.html', status=404)

Then, add it to your URL configuration:

handler404 = 'myapp.views.custom_404_view'

What about custom error pages for 500 errors?

For a 500 error, you can create a similar view:

def custom_500_view(request):
    return render(request, '500.html', status=500)

And set it in your URL configuration:

handler500 = 'myapp.views.custom_500_view'

Do I need to create templates for these error pages?

Yes, you'll need to create the corresponding HTML templates (404.html and 500.html) in your templates directory.
