I've already asked this question once but didn't get an answer, I've read every single example of this error occurring i can find on the Internet so I'm going to try here again with more information.
What I am attempting:
The cloning of a remote repo that I will then run live on my dev machine for development purposes.
The problem I am having:
After cloning my repo off the webserver, using pip requirements.txt to install dependencies into my virtualenv i attempt to syncdb to build the db and allow me to run the server with runserver but when I attempt to do this i get the error "DatabaseError: no such table: django_site" output.
What I've tried: Commenting out django-contrib-sites from my installed_apps. Manually installing django_sites using pip with and without --ignore-installed, pip says that "Successfully installed django-sites django" but still get the error. I have tried to "migrate" and "migrate --all" but I get the same error. I have also verified that the db db.sqlite3 is the db specified in the settings.py and is in the correct location.
installed_apps -
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'south',
'django.contrib.flatpages',
'django.contrib.comments',
'django.contrib.markup',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.sites',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.sitemaps',
)
A number of these are homebrewed applications from the previous dev.
Lines in .bashrc
export WORKON_HOME=$HOME/.virtualenvs
export PROJECT_HOME=$HOME/projects
source /etc/bash_completion.d/virtualenvwrapper
The last line is because I am using Ubuntu on this dev machine, not 100% sure about that but I don't get any errors when starting bash.
Deploy Folder
Not sure what this is, it has my requirements.txt and some other files:
- httpd.conf
- nowww.htaccess
- plural.htaccess
- requirements.txt
- ssl.htaccess
- wsgi.py
Process I am using
create virtualenv with mkvirtualenv envname
pip install django
git ssh clone from remote to local folder
pip install -r requirements.txt from repo
./manage.py syncdb
DatabaseError: no such table: django_site
I really need to figure this out as it prevents me from deploying on my dev server at home and doing remote work. If anyone can help please do, i promise to detail an answer and even build a tutorial page somewhere if it turns out to be a complex solution.
