Cannot sign up for a new account using a fresh instal of askbot.
 
   
  
 
 
Hello, I followed all instructions completely from the documentation section of this site. However, at the initialize database tables page (http://askbot.org/doc/initialize-database-tables.html), after running the server I cannot sign up for an account.
 
The main page appears correctly, and clicking on any link on that page works except for the sign in link, and the badges link.
 
Clicking on sign-in gives the following error:
 
 
Exception Type:     OperationalError
 
Exception Value:    (1054, "Unknown column 'askbot_anonymousquestion.is_anonymous' in 'field list'")
 
Exception Location:     B:\Python26\lib\site-packages\MySQLdb\connections.py in defaulterrorhandler, line 36
 
 
Clicking on badges yeilds:
 
 
Exception Type:     DatabaseError
 
Exception Value:    (1146, "Table 'askbot.askbot_badgedata' doesn't exist")
 
Exception Location:     B:\Python26\lib\site-packages\MySQLdb\connections.py in defaulterrorhandler, line 36
 
 
The error comes from the same location. I am new to both django, and askbot, so I'm kind of in a maze right now. Any help would be much appreciated.

Looks like you have not installed tables. Try typing:
 
python manage.py migrate --list

 
What do you see?
 
You can also try logging in to the database directly and type show tables.

        I also took a look at the database directly: http://imgur.com/a/NOTFK

        Your migrations are incomplete. Try "python manage.py migrate" - without other arguments. What do you get? Migrations are incremental changes to the database schema that happen as software evolves. I wonder why they did not finish, some error message would be helpful.

        You can see that your migrations did not finish by looking at their list. Why did not they finish - is a question, if it is a bug - I will fix it tomorrow. Please let me know, I will need error traceback to be able to solve this. Thanks.
