My django project had a working admin page, but all of the sudden I started receiving:
\"Unknown column \'django_content_type.name\' in \'field list\'\" whenev
it's not django error, it's MySQL. I just started a project, but changed django version from 1.8 to 1.7 and got this error. So, I droped all table and run migrate. But you don't need to drop all tables, just part, may be just one.
