[Answered ]-Exceptions in django not showing

You reraise the erro before you add the message, so messages.error is "dead code". You thus should first add the message, and then raise the error, so:

try:
    user = User.objects.create_user(username = username, password = password)
    messages.success(request, 'successfully registered')
except Error as e:
    messages.error(request, str(e))
    raise ValidationError(e)

That being said, create_user will save the user, so that means that you need to wrap the .create_user call in a try–except statement. Furthermore it is not clear to me what you want to happen by raising a ValidationError. A view is not supposed to raise a ValidationError, in that case you normally rerender the page with a form that shows the errors.
