Comment:
This caught me out too.
In 1.4, default INSTALLED_APPS includes django.contrib.sites.
If we do syncdb, this sql is executed:
{{{
a$ python manage.py sqlall sites
BEGIN;
CREATE TABLE `django_site` (
`id` integer AUTO_INCREMENT NOT NULL PRIMARY KEY,
`domain` varchar(100) NOT NULL,
`name` varchar(50) NOT NULL
)
;
COMMIT;
}}}
Note that the table is empty. If following the polls tutorial (like I was
doing) the presence of this empty table leads to the "DoesNoteExist at
/admin/".
There are loads of fixes/workarounds ; chuck some data into the table, use
the one liner above, comment out "django.contrib.sites" before the first
syncdb -- but for new folk like me, this was a bit confusing, and not easy
to google.
Perhaps, for 1.4 documentation, adjust the polls tutorial to tell user to
comment out "django.contrib.sites" before the first syncdb.
Perhaps, for next version, don't have "django.contrib.sites" as a default
/ or get it to have nicer syncdb behaviour.
