Recreating a database for an existing django schema - django

I've dropped my Postgres database by accident. Then as per this solution I deleted the migration files but now can't execute the third step's command "python manage.py migrate --fake".
RuntimeError: Error creating new content types.
Please make sure contenttypes is migrated before trying to migrate apps individually.
psycopg2.ProgrammingError: relation "django_content_type" does not exist
LINE 1: ..."."app_label", "django_content_type"."model" FROM "django_co...
^
I tried running "python manage.py migrate contenttypes" and "python manage.py makemigrations contenttypes --empty" but neither work.
Using django 1.9.5

Synchronise your project first:
like this:
python manage.py syncdb
when finish you can run: python manage.py makemigrations and last python manage.py migrate

Django.Programming Error: Table Name Does Not Exist - How to solve?

I deleted a model in Django which I created for testing purposed. Now when I try and run makemigrations and mirgrate I get the following error:
django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: table "members_test" does not exist
Is there a standard procedure I should be doing when deleting a model? I only deleteed the code out of my Models file and tried migrating after.
I've only tried runing migrate and make migrations in addtion to scouring the web.
Simply you can delete all migrations folder and re-migrate using below command:
python manage.py makemigrations appname
python manage.py sqlmigrate appname 0001
python manage.py migrate

django runserver : relation "django_migrations" already exists

I have a django project source code, which includes several apps. The source code have been run successfully on one environment, but when transplanted to another device, with the same postgresql version(9.4.4), python version(2.7.5), and django version(1.8.5), but the runserver reports errors like this. The database has been imported in advance.
return self.cursor.execute(sql)
django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: relation "django_migrations" already exists
Try this python manage.py migrate --fake
You can read more about it in official documentation
Try troubleshooting Initial migrations using --fake-initial
python manage.py migrate --fake-initial
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/ref/django-admin/#django-admin-option---fake-initial
If you have an empty database you can clear all your migrations and then again run migrations and migrate command.
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate

No such table in django

When I click in my table in http://127.0.0.1:8000/admin/, I see this error:
OperationalError at /admin/home/table/
no such table: home_table.
I ran Python manage.py makemigrations home, Python manage.py makemigrations and Python manage.py migrate but they didn't work.
If you're using sqlite then:
Try unapply all the migrations using using command:
python manage.py appname zero
Then apply the migrations command again. If it still doesn't work then delete your sqlite db and run migrations again. It will work.

Django Migrations command workflow

There are three migration commands in Django:
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py syncdb
In what order do these commands should be executed in terms of workflow of a basic project?
I am using Version: 1.8
syncdb is deprecated and does the same as migrate.
Whenever you make a change to your models, and when you first create them, each time you'd want to first run makemigrations to create the migration files, then migrate to apply them to your database.

Cannot get Django 1.7 Migrations to detect proper changes to my DB.

I have a production web project running with a decent amount of data in the MySQL db. I am trying to update the database with some changes to an app called "enterlink." I've made new elements in the existing models and created new models altogether. Before this migration, I have never touched the schema of the db since originally running syncdb to create it. When I run: "python manage.py makemigrations enterlink" the below output appears(pic). My question is, why is this happening? The DB already includes all the models that it lists in the picture so why is it registering those lists of models? When I go to finish the migration by doing "python manage.py migrate" or "python manage.py migrate --fake enterlink" (pic again), I get an output shown but my database schema remains identical to the old db and any new code generates errors. Can anyone tell me what is likely the problem? I would be really appreciative of any advice. It's been very frustrating since I'm not sure what I'm missing.
What you have done is that you have ran the command python manage.py syncdb before running python manage.py makemigrations myapp and python manage.py migrate myapp. That is why syncdb created the database schema and the migration was faked because schema already exists. I will suggest to use python manage.py makemigrations myapp and python manage.py migrate myapp and not to use syncdb as its deprecated in Django 1.7.
If you change anything in your model, just run makemigrations and migrate command. Syncdb isn't necessary.
This question and relevant answers are intriguing me. Thus I want to share my experience on maintaining live database and migrations.
Tested in django1.5.5
Initializing the database:
./manage.py syncdb --noinput
./manage.py migrate
./manage.py syncdb
Now I have created the database.
Doing a migration for an app:
./manage.py schemamigration myapp --initial
./manage.py migrate myapp --fake
Now do necessary changes in your model
./manage.py schemamigration myapp --auto
./manage.py migrate myapp
Im newbie for schemamigration too, but i will explain how it works for me:
First you create app and then
./manage.py sycndb, so tables are created then you can
./manage.py makemigrations myapp --initial
so now initial migrations are created and you should apply them
./manage.py migrate myapp
now you can change your models : add,change fields, anything you want and then
./manage.py makemigrations myapp --auto
this will create migrations for changes and now you need to apply them
enter code here./manage.py migrate myapp
so this actually will create new tables in db
