An error such as this would return a 500 response code, so your site will display either your custom 500.html template (if you have one), or the standard Apache "internal server error" page.

You can customize it by making your own 500.html template, along with some logic to detect the specific error you're targeting. There's some info here that might be helpful:

Thanks for this. So I need to write a 500.html file, set handler500 = 'mysite.views.my_custom_error_view' and then write a method, my_custom_error_view to handle the specific Exception that caused the server error? What do I look for in the request object passed to my customized error view to check for this specific error?

You'll need to look in the contents of the traceback to identify the type of error - some examples of how to get to the traceback are in the StackOverflow post to which I linked in my answer.
