Why don't my south migrations work?

Question

First, I create my database.

create database mydb;

I add \"south\" to installed Apps. Then, I go to this tutorial: http://south.aeracode.

Answer 1

This is how I get things working.

pip install South

# add 'south', to INSTALL_APPS, then
python manage.py syncdb

# For existing project + database
python manage.py convert_to_south app_name

# Thereafter, call them per model changes
python manage.py schemamigration app_name --auto
python manage.py migrate app_name
