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

Just for future ref. If South is giving you any problems:

1. Remove the migrations directories from your app directories
2. Delete South_migrations from your database
3. Run manage.py syncdb
4. Go back to using South (e.g. './manage.py convert_to_south something, ./manage.py migrate ...')
