The Installer could not find Models of cms app in Django-CMS

Question

I have installed django-cms in my hosting. But there is a problem. That's when I make syncdb, all my apps are synced, cms app is not. Although I have declared full enough in the settings. It is also not error at all. Someone help me. Thanks a lot!

Answer 1

Did you include it in your INSTALLED_APPS list before running syncdb?

It might also help if you post that snippet from your settings.py file, as well as your directory structure.

Answer 2

I want to emphasize that I have added all the app before making syncdb. Below is the text file (I copied from folder Example of Django-CMS source).

Answer 3

There are good news. I have overcome this error. In fact, this error is because I use the old version of MySQL-Python. It is not compatible with Django-CMS 2.0.

To upgrade the MySQL-Python 1.2.3c1, please visit: http://sourceforge.net/projects/mysql-python/files/ (Do not use easy_install)

Thanks!
