I know this is an old thread, but I just wanna to make it clear:

The answer is correct if you want a custon view! The default view will load a 500.html (also 404.html and others), from the main templates directory of your project if it's there.

So, if all you need is to change static page content, like insert some images in your error page, all you have to do is to create a template file at this place.
