RuntimeError at /signup: Change your form to point to 127.0.0.1:8000/signup/ , or set APPEND_SLASH=False in your Django settings

RuntimeError at /signup You called this URL via POST, but the URL doesn't end in a slash and you have APPEND_SLASH set. Django can't redirect to the slash URL while maintaining POST data. Change your form to point to 127.0.0.1:8000/signup/ (note the trailing slash), or set APPEND_SLASH=False in your Django settings.

I got this problem while using forms. Please help I have used bootstrap for styling
