App works on Local host but not on appspot

Question

I'm working on having a user authenticate on my webpage using Foursquare, once they are redirected back to my webpage the information recieved back is parsed out of the URL. This works perfect on localhost but when I deploy it I get the following error

    Traceback (most recent call last):

    raise self.error(None, "Unclosed tags: %s " %  ', '.join(parse_until))
TemplateSyntaxError: Unclosed tags: endblock, endblock bodycontent

UPDATE

The line in my code that seems to cause it is when I try to doRender(self, '500.html') This is the doRender method

def doRender(handler, tname, values = { }):    
    template_values = dict(values) 
    handler.session = Session()
    if 'access_token' in handler.session: 
        template_values['access_token'] = handler.session['access_token'] 
    path = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), tname)
    handler.response.out.write(template.render(path, template_values))

and the template is as follows

{% extends "index.html" %} 
{% block bodycontent %}
Server Error
      <p>
      There has been an error
      </p>
{% endblock %}

Answer 1

Do you have an '/_ah/login_required' handler setup in your app.yaml file?

I'm assuming you've turned on Federated Login to allow Foursquare credentials. If so you need to define your own login handler in order for it to work on appspot (localhost uses different login handling).

ex:

handlers:
- url: /_ah/login_required
  script: do_openid_login.py

Answer 2

TemplateSyntaxError: Unclosed tags: endblock, endblock bodycontent

tells you where at least one issue is. Close the endblock :

{% endblock %}
