Django - A server error occurred. Please contact the administrator

I've just started learning Django and followed their tutorial to the letter. I've tried to set up the website three times, every time I was greeted with the same error (in the title).

Again, followed their official tutorial to the letter. I'm at Tutorial 2, where I'm supposed to access the admin page. When I have DEBUG = False, I get the error message in the title, and this is what the console outputs:

deusdies@galaksija:~/Documents/djangosites/testing$ python manage.py runserver
Validating models...

This is with DEBUG = False. With DEBUG = True, I get the standard "It works!" page, even when I access the /admin/ URL, or for that matter any other url on the page.

Here is my settings.py:

Some folks elsewhere on SO suggested I create a 500.html template and see what the error is - only I have no idea how to do this.
