Table django site doesn't exist

Question

When I try to install a database into my local I used;

python manage.py syncdb --noinput

However, it gave;

Table 'lodging_zh.django_site' doesn't exist"

It gave the error at Site.objects.get_current() line. Probably it tries to reach the currenct_site on the database. However since database is empty, it gave an error. Do you have any idea about this problem to solve?

Answer 1

Probably something with migration order. You can try to remove django.contrib.sites from the INSTALLED_APPS and then syncdb. If that succeeds add django.contrib.sites and migrate again.

Alternatively you can add 'sites': 'my_app.sites_migrations to MIGRATION_MODULES and then make migrations for this with python manage.py makemigrations sites. Then running syncdb might work as well.
