Trying to combine django-shop with 2 scoops tutorial.

  File "/mnt/extdata/workspace/75_django_shop/djangoshop_env/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/db/backends/utils.py", line 64, in execute
    return self.cursor.execute(sql, params)
django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: relation "django_site" does not exist
LINE 1: ..."django_site"."domain", "django_site"."name" FROM "django_si...

Solution:

• delete all .pyc:

find . -name "*.pyc" -exec rm -- {} +

* Disable other apps:

Disable all external apps in your INSTALLED_APPS, except your own apps, like so:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'django.contrib.sites',
    'django.contrib.flatpages',
    'main', # This is my own app.

    # 'compressor',
    # 'ckeditor',
    # 'imagekit',
    # 'debug_toolbar',
    # 'rest_framework',
    # 'allauth',
    # 'allauth.account',
    # 'allauth.socialaccount',

    # 'allauth.socialaccount.providers.google',
    # 'allauth.socialaccount.providers.facebook',
)

Run

python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

Then, uncomment all the other apps, then repeat makemigrations and migrate above.

That works all the time for me

• disable debug-toolbar then makemigrations, migrate then enable and rerun all migrations.

• disable debug-toolbar python manage.py makemigrations sites python manage.py migrate sites

If we do migration new there will be error with the authxxx: Creating table maxoshopsmartphone

  Running deferred SQL...
  ...
  django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: relation "auth_user" does not exist

maxoshop is using auth_user and has error. Migrate maxhoshop first:

   python manage.py makemigrations maxoshop
   

New migrate everything:

  python manage.py migrate

Copy django-shop example

  cp -rp $example/myshop /home/dang/data/workspace/75_django_shop/maxoshop_project/maxoshop_project/
  

  ImportError: No module named myshop.apps

Problem is we place myshop under $pjsroot/maxoshopproject. Some paths need to be fixed.

Fix myshop/init.py

  default_app_config = 'maxoshop_project.myshop.apps.MyShopConfig'
  

Fix myshop/apps.py:

from django.apps import AppConfig
from django.utils.translation import ugettext_lazy as _

class ArticlesConfig(AppConfig):
    name = 'maxoshop_project.myshop'      <---------- this is it
    verbose_name = _(u'Ma Shop')

Further paths fix for import are required.

from myshop.models.properties import Manufacturer, ProductPage, ProductImage
ImportError: No module named myshop.models.properties

Change to

  from maxoshop_project.myshop.models.properties import Manufacturer, ProductPage, ProductImage
  #or
  from ...models.properties import Manufacturer, ProductPage, ProductImage

Note: we remove myshop and navigate from this module (file)

What is working?

  python manage.py migrate --fake myshop 0002
  python manage.py migrate --fake-initial myshop
  python manage.py migrate myshop
  

Finally got it to work, although I don't know why and I hope it will work in the future.
After doing numerous trials and going through Django's dev site (link).
Here are the steps (for whoever runs into this problem):

    Empty the django_migrations table: delete from django_migrations;
    For every app, delete its migrations folder: rm -rf <app>/migrations/
    Reset the migrations for the "built-in" apps: python manage.py migrate --fake
    For each app run: python manage.py makemigrations <app>. Take care of dependencies (models with ForeignKey's should run after their parent model).
    Finally: python manage.py migrate --fake-initial

After that I ran the last command without the --fake-initial flag, just to make sure.

Now everything works and I can use the migrations system normally.

I'm sure I'm not the only one who encounters this issue. It must be documented better and even simplified.

 I'm getting RuntimeError: Error creating new content types. Please make sure contenttypes is migrated before trying to migrate apps individually. at the final step for Django 1.8.3 though. Do you know why? – eric Sep 21 '15 at 3:45

@eric try running python manage.py migrate contenttypes before the final step. – azalea Oct 14 '15 at 19:33
