Just add a Site object via Django shell on production site:

$ python manage.py shell
>>> from django.contrib.sites.models import Site
>>> Site.objects.create(domain='example.com', name='example.com')

Where example.com corresponds to your site's domain name used in production.

Normally a default Site object should be automatically created when you run the syncdb command, but I myself encountered cases when that didn't happen for some reason.
