Django Error: OperationalError: no such table: polls_poll

Question

Going through Django tutorial 1 using Python 2.7 and can't seem to resolve this error: OperationalError: no such table: polls_poll

This happens the moment I enter Poll.objects.all() into the shell.

Things I've already tried based on research through the net:

1) Ensured that 'polls' is listed under INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py

Note: I've seen lots of suggestions inserting 'mysite.polls' instead of 'polls' into INSTALLED_APPS but this gives the following error: ImportError: cannot import name 'polls' from 'mysite'

2) Run python manage.py syncdb . This creates my db.sqlite3 file successfully and seemingly without issue in my mysite folder.

3) Finally, when I run python manage.py shell, the shell runs smoothly, however I do get some weird Runtime Warning when it starts and wonder if the polls_poll error is connected: \django\db\backends\sqlite3\base.py:63: RuntimeWarning: SQLite received a naive datetime (2014-02-03 17:32:24.392000) while time zone support is active.

Any help would be appreciated.

I meet the same problem today and fix it I think you miss some command in tutorial 1 just do follow: ./python manage.py makemigrations polls
python manage.py sql polls ./python manage.py syncdb

then fix it and gain the table polls and you can see the table created you should read the "manage.py makemigrations" command
