DatabaseError: no such column error

Question

So I have a model that I wanted to add ImageField to, so I typed in picture = models.ImageField(upload_to=\'media/images\')

I then ran syncdb and went into the shell

Answer 1

There are two possibilities that to get this error 1) You added extra field to model after doing the syncdb. 2) you added new class to model.py file in django.

Solution for this is:

First install south by using command

for windows: **easy_install south**     //for that you need to go to the script folder of python folder in c drive.

for linux: **sudo easy_install south**  

Then follow the steps which are included here migration tutorials

step1- python manage.py schemamigration your_app_name --initial

step-2 python manage.py migrate your_app_name Hope this will help you.
