I figured out what the problem is here. My fixture files did not have any extension on the file names. Once I renamed them to auth_user.json they got picked up. But now I'm having a problem loading then. I changed fixtures to: fixtures = ['django_content_type', 'auth_user', 'auth_permission'' and it loads django_content_type and auth_user, but it fails on auth_permission with: IntegrityError: Could not load auth.Permission(pk=151): (1062, "Duplicate entry '2-add_group' for key 'content_type_id'") It appesars it's trying to add a row to django_content_type and it's already there. I tried not loading the fixture for django_content_type but I got the same error. These fixture files contain data I dumped from my real db, so I know it's good. Googling this I found a few posts with people having the same problem, but they are all a few years old. People 'solved' this by using an external package (django-fixture-magic) or excluding the auth tables or hand re-ordering the records in the fixtures file. None of these seem like good solutions to me. Is this still a known problem? Shouldn't I be able to load data generated from a dump? > > 2) We have a stand alone program that loads data to the db.
