Hi Kabads,
you need to add "django.contrib.admin" to your installed apps in
settings:
E.g.:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.sites',
)
Afterwards you should run "python manage.py syncdb" again. This will
prompt you to create a superuser.
Cheers,
Ben
