I noticed this error while trying to access /admin/. Whenever /admin/model_name or /admin/ or /admin/* is accessed django says OverflowError at /admin/ and regular expression code size limit exceeded. I did a little digging and came across this SO post. I have checked urls.py of app since regex are mostly used in urls. But all I have is a typical admin url, nothing complex.
from django.contrib import admin
urlpatterns = [
url(r'^admin/', admin.site.urls),
....
]

We are using django+apache.
Any help is much appreciated.
