Cannot redirect after login

Hello,

I was following the chapter 12 of the django book and had a
redirect
problem after login. I cannot redirect to the page I want. I
found the
following trick from the Django user group, but it did not
work for
me. I was always taken to the /accounts/profile/ even with
your code.
Here is what I have in my login.html

  <form action='.' method='post'>
    <label for="username">User
name:</label>
    <input type="text"
name="username" value=""
id="username">
    <label
for="password">Password:</label>
    <input type="password"
name="password" value=""
id="password">
    <input type="submit"
value="login" />
    <input type="hidden" name="next"
value="{% if next %}{}{%
else %}/{% endif %}">
  <form action='.' method='post'>

I correctly set the value of the "next" hidden
field, but it did not
work. I am always taken to the /accounts/profile/ page.
Could someone
explain why?

Also, I don't understand what the last <form> tag is
for, either. Any
help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks in advance.

The last form tag is an error. It should be the closing form
tag

</form>

Fix that and see if your problem persists.
