Can't create Django superuser [duplicate] - django

Question

I am trying to use Django's default Auth to handle register and log in.
setting.py:
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'books',
)
MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES = (
'django.contrib.sessions.middleware.SessionMiddleware',
'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',
'django.middleware.csrf.CsrfViewMiddleware',
'django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware',
'django.contrib.messages.middleware.MessageMiddleware',
'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
)
AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'books.User'
books.models.py:
class User(AbstractUser):
account_balance = models.DecimalField(max_digits=5, decimal_places=2, default=0)
views.py:
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm
def register(request):
if request.method == 'POST':
form = UserCreationForm(request.POST)
if form.is_valid():
new_user = form.save()
return HttpResponseRedirect("/accounts/profile/")
else:
form = UserCreationForm()
return render(request, "registration/register.html", {'form': form,})
urls.py:
urlpatterns = patterns('',
(r'^accounts/login/$', login),
(r'^accounts/logout/$', logout),
(r'^accounts/profile/$', profile),
(r'^accounts/register/$', register),
)
I tried deleting the db.sqlite3 file and re-ran python manage.py syncdb but I still get this error message:
OperationalError at /accounts/register/
no such table: auth_user
Request Method: POST
Request URL: http://127.0.0.1:8000/accounts/register/
Django Version: 1.7b4
Exception Type: OperationalError
Exception Value:
no such table: auth_user

Answer 1

./manage.py migrate
If you've just enabled all the middlewares etc this will run each migration and add the missing tables.

Answer 2

Only thing you need to do is :
python manage.py migrate
and after that:
python manage.py createsuperuser
after that you can select username and password.
here is the sample output:
Username (leave blank to use 'hp'): admin
Email address: xyz#gmail.com
Password:
Password (again):
Superuser created successfully.

Answer 3

Update
You are probably getting this error because you are using UserCreationForm modelform, in which in META it contains User(django.contrib.auth.models > User) as model.
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ("username",)
And here you are using your own custom auth model, so tables related to User has not been created. So here you have to use your own custom modelform. where in Meta class, model should be your User(books.User) model

Answer 4

This will work for django version <1.7:
Initialize the tables with the command
manage.py syncdb
This allows you to nominate a "super user" as well as initializing any tables.

Answer 5

it is need to make migration before create superuser.
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py createsuperuser
Username : admin
Password : 12345678
python manage.py runserver

Answer 6

Your project may not work properly until you apply the migrations for app(s): admin, auth, contenttypes, sessions.
try running
python manage.py migrate
then run
python manage.py createsuperuser

Answer 7

For custom forms( if you have made your own forms) use this command to migrate
python manage.py migrate --run-syncdb

Answer 8

If using a custom auth model, in your UserCreationForm subclass, you'll have to override both the metaclass and clean_username method as it references a hardcoded User class (the latter just until django 1.8).
class Meta(UserCreationForm.Meta):
model = get_user_model()
def clean_username(self):
username = self.cleaned_data['username']
try:
self.Meta.model.objects.get(username=username)
except self.Meta.model.DoesNotExist:
return username
raise forms.ValidationError(
self.error_messages['duplicate_username'],
code='duplicate_username',
)

Answer 9

Before creating a custom user model, a first migration must be performed. Then install the application of your user model and add the AUTH_USER_MODEL.
As well:
class UserForm(UserCreationForm):
class Meta:
model = User
fields = ("username",)
and
python manage.py migrate auth
python manage.py migrate

Answer 10

On Django 1.11 I had to do this after following instructions in docs https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.11/topics/auth/customizing/#substituting-a-custom-user-model
# create default database:
./manage.py migrate
# create my custom model migration:
# running `./manage.py makemigrations` was not enough
./manage.py makemigrations books
# specify one-off defaults
# create table with users:
./manage.py migrate

Answer 11

Just do the following flow
$ django-admin createproject <your project name>
under <your project dict> type django-admin createapp <app name>
under <app name>/admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from .models import Post
admin.site.register(Post)
Go to the root project. Then $python manage.py migrate
Then it asks for username and password

Answer 12

Just perform migrations before registering the user.

Answer 13

theres four steps for adding a custom user model to django
Create a CustomUser model
update project/settings.py AUTH_USER_MODEL
customize UserCreationForm & UserChangeForm
add the custom user model to admin.py
you missed customize forms , add the CustomUser and CustomUserAdmin to admin.site.register() , then makemigrations nd migrate .
#proj_app/forms.py
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
from django.contrib.auth.forms import UserCreationForm, UserChangeForm
class CustomUserCreationForm(UserCreationForm):
class Meta:
model = get_user_model()
fields = ('email','username',)
class CustomUserChangeForm(UserChangeForm):
class Meta:
model = get_user_model()
fields = ('email', 'username',)
#proj_app/admin.py
from django.contrib import admin
from django.contrib.auth import get_user_model
from django.contrib.auth.admin import UserAdmin
from .forms import CustomUserCreationForm , CustomUserChangeForm
CustomUser = get_user_model()
class CustomUserAdmin(UserAdmin):
add_form = CustomUserCreationForm
form = CustomUserChangeForm
model = CustomUser
list_display = ['email','username',]
admin.site.register(CustomUser, CustomUserAdmin)
here we extend the existing UserAdmin into CustomUserAdmin and tell django to use our new forms, custom user model, and list only the email and username of a user also we could add more of existing User fields to list_display

Answer 14

I have no idea what I did wrong but got to the point where I decided to clear the whole database. So I ran the command:
python manage.py flush
After that my database was clear then I ran the commands;
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
then:
python manage.py createsuperuser
That worked for me.

Answer 15

I have also faced the same problem "no such table: auth_user" when I was trying to deploy one of my Django website in a virtual environment.
Here is my solution which worked in my case:
In your settings.py file where you defined your database setting like this:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
'NAME': os.path.join(os.getcwd(), 'db.sqlite3'),
}
}
just locate your db.sqlite3 database or any other database that you are using and write down a full path of your database , so the database setting will now look something like this ;
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
'NAME': '/home/django/django_project/db.sqlite3',
}
}
I hope that your problem will resolve now.

Answer 16

python manage.py makemigrations then → python manage.py migrate fixes it.
Assuming Apps defined/installed in settings.py exist in the project directory.

Answer 17

Please check how many python instances are running in background like in windows go--->task manager and check python instances and kill or end task i.e kill all python instances. run again using "py manage.py runserver" command.
i hope it will be work fine....

Answer 18

If You did any changes in project/app then execute:
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py createsuperuser

Answer 19

call these command
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
