According to the Error stack, I think you are doing it in the wrong manner.
It may be that you are creating an app named `users` which is not required here.
Here is the step by step process how to use django-registration.
After installing django-registration we need to add it in the settings.py file to make sure that our django engine reads it and loads it.
INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.sites',
'django.contrib.admin',
'registration', #<--Here I have added
)
Now You need to add a few more settings in the settngs.py file:
ACCOUNT_ACTIVATION_DAYS = 2
EMAIL_HOST = 'localhost'
DEFAULT_FROM_EMAIL = 'webmaster#localhost'
LOGIN_REDIRECT_URL = '/'
Now update the urls.py file to send all the /accounts/ request to the django-registration app.
from django.conf.urls.defaults import *
from django.views.generic.simple import direct_to_template
from django.contrib import admin
admin.autodiscover()
urlpatterns = patterns('',
...
(r'^accounts/', include('registration.urls')),
...
)
Now you need to create some templates to support your django-registration.
login.html — user login form
logout.html — shown after a user has logged out
password_change_form.html — password change form
password_change_done.html — shown after successful password change
password_reset_form.html — ask user for email to send password-reset mail to
password_reset_email.html — template for password-reset mail
password_reset_done.html — shown after password-reset email has been sent
password_reset_confirm.html — ask user for new password after reset
password_reset_complete.html — shown after successful password reset
registration_form.html — user registration form
registration_complete.html — shown after a user has registered
activation_email_subject.txt — subject of activation email
activation_email.txt — template for activation email
activate.html — shown after a user has activated his account
A basic model that what you need to put in these files can be #the-django-registration-git-hub-link
Now I hope you can get it running.

Answer 2

Do you have right AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE in your settings.py?
That seems it should be:
AUTH_PROFILE_MODULE = 'registration.RegistrationProfile'
