Answer 1

This is linked to the migration data in the scripts inside the project not matching with the migration scripts in the database as far as I could tell. I solved this by the following steps :

1. Delete all the migration scripts under migration folder except __ini__
2. Make sure that the model.py contains the same structure as the table in the database and managed=True
3. Remove all Django Created tables like auth_user,... etc
4. Run the following code

$ ./manage.py makemigrations
$ ./manage.py migrate

This will create the migration scripts again and will apply it to your database.

Answer 2

For those that may still be having trouble (like me), try this out:

Comment out all the URL's in the main app's urls.py

Then go ahead and run migrations:

$ ./manage.py makemigrations
$ ./manage.py migrate

The problem was alleviated by removing the ()'s

    solved_time = models.DateTimeField('solved time', default=timezone.now())

to

    solved_time = models.DateTimeField('solved time', default=timezone.now)
