I am trying to migrate askbot to the latest version available in devel branch and running : python manage.py migrate i got the following error:

Also if I drop all tables and try to do a new install following the documentation, I got the following error:

$ python manage.py migrate django_authopenid
The app 'django_authopenid' does not appear to use migrations. ./manage.py migrate [appname] [migrationname|zero] [--all] [--list] [--skip] [--merge] [--no-initial-data] [--fake] [--db-dry-run] [--database=dbalias]

what happens if you do a "migrate --list" It should list the migrations without doing them. I think in general, you should just issue a "migrate" command, without specifying the app.

Thanks for you comment! It looks like „django_authopenid” is listed and has 5 revisions. I am just following the documentation and information available at http://askbot.org/en/question/310/how-do-you-manage-askbot-and-upgrades.

If your site has no useful data - I would just start the database setup over. Drop the database, then syncdb and migrate.

Adi, have you done python manage.py flush some time before the upgrade?

If so - then the migration history was erased from the database and the only way to recover is to "fake"-migrate the apps to the pre-upgrade stage. And then run the actual upgrade the command is:

python manage.py migrate <the_app> <schema_version> --fake

But you need to know to what schema version to go, for example:

python manage.py migrate django_authopenid 0005 --fake

Secondly - might have you accidentally removed app django_authopenid from the list of installed apps?

Thanks for the answer. The django_authopenid was not removed... not sure what was the problem. It was still in testing so I just done a clean reinstall. I have also tested a new update and this time it was ok (but i think that no DB migration were required).
