I have tried many way to solve this, but none of them work. My question is when I tried to register a user, it shows an error no such table: auth_user . (py2.7 django 1.10)

I am using a custom user (because I want to add locations(one user can have multiple locations) to my users)

in my models.py:

from __future__ import unicode_literals
from django.conf import settings
from django.db import models
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model

# Create your models here.
from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser

class User(AbstractUser):
    pass

class Locations(models.Model):
    author = models.ForeignKey(
        settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL,
        on_delete=models.CASCADE,
    )
    lat = models.FloatField(default=0.0)
    lng = models.FloatField(default=0.0)

class UserForm(UserCreationForm):

    class Meta:
        model = User
        fields = ("username",)

In my setting.py:

AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'weather.User'

# Application definition

INSTALLED_APPS = [
    'weather',
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
]

in my views.py:

    from django.conf.urls import include, url
from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib.auth import views as auth_views
from django.views.generic.edit import CreateView
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
from django.shortcuts import render_to_response 
from django.http import HttpResponseRedirect 
from django.template.context_processors import csrf


def register(request):
    if request.method == 'POST':
        form = UserCreationForm(request.POST)
        if form.is_valid():
            form.save()
            return HttpResponseRedirect('register/complete')

    else:
        form = UserCreationForm()
    token = {}
    token.update(csrf(request))
    token['form'] = form

    return render_to_response('registration/register.html', token)


def registration_complete(request):
    return render_to_response('registration/registration_complete.html')

I have tried 

python manage.py makemigrations myapp
python manage.py migrate auth
python manage.py migrate

none of them helps, all same error.

Thanks!

It might be for few reasons, like

  • Add your weather application in list of INSTALLED_APPS after all default apps, from django.contrib.*

  • Try to use in your UserForm user model in same way as in Locations model:

Like this

from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
class UserForm(UserCreationForm):

class Meta:
    model = get_user_model()
    fields = ("username",)

  • I tried to put weather after django.contrib.*, it does not help – KKlalala Feb 16 '17 at 21:04
  • When I tried the second bullet point, it gives:AttributeError: 'str' object has no attribute '_meta' – KKlalala Feb 16 '17 at 21:06
  • @FrancicaZhao sorry, my fault. I've forgot that `settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL` returns just string - the name of model. You should try to use function `get_user_model()`. I update answer – s_mart Feb 17 '17 at 01:24

Try this:

python manage.py makemigrations YOURAPPNAME
python manage.py migrate

The idea is to make migrations for a specific app, as some migrations might not get applied when performing makemigrations on the whole project.

1)python manage.py createsuperuser

2)python manage.py makemigrations OR python manage.py migrate

3)python manage.py runserver

Hopefully it may work
