    raise ImproperlyConfigured("django CMS requires django.template.context_processors.request in "
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: django CMS requires django.template.context_processors.request in 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates' context processors.

In Django 1.8 TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS deprecated. Use this in your settings.py:

TEMPLATES = [
{
    'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
    'APP_DIRS': True,
    'OPTIONS': {
        'context_processors':
            (
            'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
            'django.template.context_processors.debug',
            'django.template.context_processors.i18n',
            'django.template.context_processors.media',
            'django.template.context_processors.static',
            'django.template.context_processors.tz',
            'django.template.context_processors.csrf',
            'django.template.context_processors.request',
            'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
            'sekizai.context_processors.sekizai',
            'cms.context_processors.cms_settings',
            )
    }
},
]
