The error that I am seeing is in the shell/ the terminal. I am unable to
paste the exception problems on here. But I've typed it... look below
After I've ran the python manage.py runserver, there was NO errors. But when
I try to use, python manage.py syncdb, it showed errors/exceptions:
Traceback ( most recent call last):
