Public bug reported:

When Horizon can't access some of its configuration files, it ignores
them and falls back to the default settings instead of raising any
errors. Unfortunately, since the default settings don't allow
connections from any hosts, this results in a very confusing "Error 400"
message, which is very hard to debug (it's raised by Django itself very
early in the processing of the request).

Also, it's easy to miss the fact that some of the files are ignored due
to wrong permissions.

We should really think about crashing with an explicit error in such a
situation, or at least logging an error in the log files.
