* status: reopened => closed * resolution: => invalid Comment: **tl;dr** don't call your app "auth" :) ---- You have `django.contrib.auth.middleware.AuthenticationMiddleware` in `MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES`. By default, this will use `django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend` as an authentication backend (https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#authentication- backends). This backend imports `django.contrib.auth.models` (https://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/trunk/django/contrib/auth/backends.py) Thus, even if you haven't declared `django.contrib.auth` in `INSTALLED_APPS`, it gets registered in the application cache, creating a conflict with your app. I hope this helps! -- Ticket URL: <https://code.djangoproject.com/ticket/16283#comment:4> Django <https://code.djangoproject.com/> The Web framework for perfectionists with deadlines. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django updates" group.
