Hi Florian,
Thanks for that.
Thata fixed my issue:
[root@jaribu] /usr/home/wash/Tools/Mailman/MM3/postorius/dev_setup# python
manage.py syncdb
Creating tables ...
Creating table auth_permission
Creating table auth_group_permissions
Creating table auth_group
Creating table auth_user_user_permissions
Creating table auth_user_groups
Creating table auth_user
Creating table django_content_type
Creating table django_session
Creating table django_site
Creating table django_admin_log
Creating table social_auth_usersocialauth
Creating table social_auth_nonce
Creating table social_auth_association
You just installed Django's auth system, which means you don't have any
superusers defined.
Would you like to create one now? (yes/no): yes
Username (leave blank to use 'root'): admin
E-mail address: odhia...@gmail.com
Password:
Password (again):
Superuser created successfully.
Installing custom SQL ...
Installing indexes ...
Installed 0 object(s) from 0 fixture(s)
However, I am lost as to why the argument to this procedure was named
"syncdb" and not "createdb", which is what it's doing. Can you explain that
please? Sorry, I am a noob in this.
