auth_user error with Django 1.8 and syncdb / migrate

Question

When upgrading to Django 1.8 (with zc.buildout) and running syncdb or migrate, I get this message:

django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: relation \"auth_user\" does no

Answer 1

Try referring to the User using this

from django.conf import settings
user = models.ForeignKey(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL, related_name='%(app_label)s_%(class)s_user', blank=True, null=True, editable=False)
