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

How do I get South to work and sync correctly with everything? The only thing I can think of is remove my app from INSTALLED_APPS, then run syncdb, then add it back on.

I have used that fix with South troubles in the past. Not a pretty solution but very effective ;)

But the main problem is that your order isn't correct. You should have run syncdb before the tutorial. Than it works properly.
