Django admin DoesNotExist at /admin/

Question

I have some problems with Django admin.

after syncdb, the result is:

  Creating tables ...   Installing custom SQL ...   Installing indexes ...   No fixtures found. 

What does this mean?

Anyway, when I visit the website admin panel http://www.example.com/admin/, I receive this message:

DoesNotExist at /admin/ Site matching query does not exist. 

setting.py contains:

INSTALLED_APPS = (     'django.contrib.auth',     'django.contrib.contenttypes',     'django.contrib.sessions',     'django.contrib.sites',     'django.contrib.messages',     'django.contrib.staticfiles',     # Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:     'django.contrib.admin', ) 

ur.py contains:

from django.conf.urls.defaults import patterns, include, url  # Uncomment the next two lines to enable the admin: from django.contrib import admin admin.autodiscover()  urlpatterns = patterns('',     # Examples:     # url(r'^$', 'rshd.views.home', name='home'),     # url(r'^rshd/', include('rshd.foo.urls')),      # Uncomment the admin/doc line below to enable admin documentation:      url(r'^admin/doc/', include('django.contrib.admindocs.urls')),      # Uncomment the next line to enable the admin:      url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)), ) 

Answer 1

You don't really need the sites framework if you only run one site from the project, so the easiest fix would be to remove the following item from your INSTALLED_APPS and the error should go away:

'django.contrib.sites' 

You can also re-create the missing Site object from shell. Run python manage.py shell and then:

from django.contrib.sites.models import Site Site.objects.create(pk=1, domain='www.example.com', name='example.com')
