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.
