I tried deleting auth_user in order to force manage.py to create a new one and see what happens (just in case there was some problem with the database table)
I gave a manage.py syncdb (after deleting auth_user) and it created the table. It also asked me to create a new superuser. I gave the details and this is what happened. (hope the following give a clue of what is going on) http://dpaste.com/hold/397353/ This is my settings.py http://dpaste.com/hold/397354/ and this is my CustomUserModel implementation http://scottbarnham.com/blog/2008/08/21/extending-the-django-user-model-with-inheritance/ On 8 Φεβ, 08:54, xpanta <[email protected]> wrote: > I have tried this already.
