Django cms - running the installer - django

Question

I am trying out the django cms. I have now tried the recipe described here: http://docs.django-cms.org/en/support-3.0.x/introduction/install_from_scratch.html very carefully, but towards the end of the installer run it fails with an exception:
...
raise exceptions.UnknownMigration(self, sys.exc_info())
south.exceptions.UnknownMigration: Migration 'auth:0001_initial' probably doesn't exist.
Traceback (most recent call last):

returned non-zero exit status 1
When running manage.pg syncdb it reports that some of the tables have been synced, and some are not synced - use migrations. When I then run manage.py migrate I get the same exception again.
I am on Ubuntu 14.04 - if that matters.

I mixed up the django version in the current virtual environment and the django version configured during the django-cms install process. When I ensured that I had Django 1.6 installed and entered 1.6 during django-cms configuration it worked.
