Django syncdb and migrate

Question

I\'m moving django website from one server to another, and I tried to syncdb, so i\'ve put python manage.py syncdb, and i get this output:

Synci         


        

Answer 1

Another alternative is mark that first migration as done:

./manage.py migrate dbtemplates --fake 0001

It seems to be that you already have in your database the schema that you want to create.

Answer 2

This might help others going through the same issue.

Since your database is to be created now and there are no migrations needed, after doing what Ahmad mentioned, also do a fake migration so south will mark all migration scripts as already run. In short, run these.

syncdb --all
migrate --fake

Please note that if you already have data in your database you shouldn't use syncdb --all.

Answer 3

Try

syncdb --all 

as I have the same problem and --all just works.

I found this solution here https://github.com/divio/django-cms/issues/1343

Answer 4

$python manage.py syncdb --migrate

this migrates what has to be migrated

worked for me (django 1.4)
