New install, exception when registering

I deployed the site, it shows up as expected on a development server (i.e. manage.py runserver), but when I try to register with Google or Yahoo! I get the following traceback. I do have python-openid installed, I did not create a Django superuser on the first syncdb, I ran the necessary South migrations, and (I believe) I followed all the other instructions.

Environment:

Request Method: POST
Request URL: http://li234-101.members.linode.com/account/register/
Django Version: 1.1.2
Python Version: 2.6.5
Installed Applications:
['django.contrib.auth',
 'django.contrib.contenttypes',
 'django.contrib.sessions',
 'django.contrib.sites',
 'django.contrib.admin',
 'django.contrib.humanize',
 'django.contrib.sitemaps',
 'askbot',
 'askbot.deps.django_authopenid',
 'south',
 'askbot.deps.livesettings',
 'keyedcache',
 'robots']
Installed Middleware:

Interesting, this is one of those exceptions that "should never happen" :) ... looking into it.

I'm guessing that your django_authopenid has not been migrated - my fault - have not updated the instructions.

Try (in addition):

python manage.py migrate django_authopenid

edit: this solves the problem, please make AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS in settings.py look this way:

AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
    'django.contrib.auth.backends.ModelBackend',
    'askbot.deps.django_authopenid.backends.AuthBackend',
)

I forgot to update that in the settings.py template. You get 50 rep bonus for reporting this annoying issue :).

have you migrated the `django_authopenid` sub-app as well originally?

I don't understand the difference between your answer and your comment, but I had already done `python manage.py migrate django_authopenid` before having the problem. I just ran it again, to make sure, and yep - didn't help.

I wans't sure if you've done it already, so asked in the comment just in case (I've actually tried signing up at your site, hope you don't mind). Looking into this case right now.

Don't mind at all - thanks for your time!

Thanks, updating settings.py fixed the problem!
