Don't create the super user during syncdb, you user profile table will not exist. You must have a create signal on admin that creates a user profile, this looks like it is failing The procedure you wan to use to initialize the database is: manage.py syncdb --noinput manage.py migrate mange.py createsuperuser Jason > Malcolm > > On Mar 23, 10:11 am, Malcolm Box <malcolm....@gmail.com> wrote: >> Hi, >> >> I'm running into an error when doing a syncb on a clean DB during the >> installation of the auth system. >> >> I get the normal prompt "You just installed Django's auth system, >> which means you don't have any superusers defined.
