Migration says:

$ python manage.py migrate forum
Running migrations for forum:
- Nothing to migrate.
 - Loading initial data for forum.

I checked the DB with MySQL Query Browser and there is authuser table, but not that *isapproved* field. I also tried to remove all tables and then ran syncdb & migrate forum again.

uh sorry. I'm leaving for the day, please add information about your system, database and version of mysql-python module if you can't fix this soon.

maybe your db user does not have privileges to alter, delete and create tables? I usually grant all privilieges: grant all privileges on dbname.* to username@localhost identified by 'somepass';

Hi Raspi,

I've just done the following:

git clone git://github.com/ASKBOT/askbot-devel.git
cd askbot-devel
cp settings_local.py.dist settings_local.py
#entered database credentials, then typed
python manage.py syncdb
python manage.py migrate forum #forum app database is under migrations
python manage.py runserver `hostname -i`:8000

and could log in with google no problems. I'm guessing that you did not run migrate forum command. I've noticed an issue with skin - the search button is wrapped around, will fix tomorrow.

Btw, experimental branch,(but not master yet) is now under setuptools installation will work as

python setup.py install

you can also try

easy_install askbot

Ok. Got it to work. It was probably old South which caused some weird DB stuff.

great. I'll update the version requirements in setup.py within a week.
