On 1.8 `--fake-initial` only works if you have a single initial migration per app. We don't because we have additional migrations to load data and create database triggers, etc.
In 1.9 this will be handled by the `initial = True` setting on the Migration class. Until then, we are using: ./manage.py migrate --fake-initial contenttypes ./manage.py migrate --fake Of course this relies on you being certain that your existing database is exactly the same as it would be if all the migrations were applied to an empty database and there is no sanity-checking. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
