Postgis / Geodjango: Cannot determine PostGIS version for database

Question

I\'m attempting to launch a GeoDjango app. I\'ve installed Postgres & PostGIS using brew on Lion. I created a database using template_postgis: createdb -T template_pos

Answer 1

The solution for me was to run the following in the postgres terminal:

psql database_name

database_name=# CREATE EXTENSION postgis;

---

If you get ERROR: relation "spatial_ref_sys" already exists, run the following before CREATE EXTENSION postgis:

 drop table spatial_ref_sys;
 drop table geometry_columns;
