Why do I get this error when I run "python manage.py syncdb --all"?

Question

I am trying to apply tutorial http://docs.django-cms.org/en/2.1.3/getting_started/tutorial.html.

But I didn't succeed to perform the initial database setup

Why do I get this error when I run "python manage.py syncdb --all" ?

Answer 1

The verify_exists parameter for UrlField was deprecated in the 1.3.1 security release and removed in the current Git master (1.5dev). https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/internals/deprecation/. This makes this version of django-cms incompatible with the current master. I would recommend using a stable Django release such as the latest 1.4 rather than master.
