I m using Django CMS 3 4 with Django 1 8  I stepped through the root cause in the Django CMS code  Root cause is the Django CMS is not changing directory to the directory with file containing the SQLite3 database before making database calls  The error message is spurious  The underlying problem is that a SQLite database call is made in the wrong directory   The workaround is to ensure all your Django applications change directory back to the Django Project root directory when changing to working directories

I got through the same error when I went on to the admin panel   You ought to run this instead-  python manage py migrate --run-syncdb  Don t forget to include migrate  I ran   python manage py make migrations and then  python manage py migrate  Still when the error persisted I tried it with the above suggested command

I m using Django 1 9  SQLite3 and DjangoCMS 3 2 and had the same issue  I solved it by running python manage py makemigrations  This was followed by a prompt stating that the database contained non-null value types but did not have a default value set  It gave me two options  1  select a one off value now or 2  exit and change the default setting in models py  I selected the first option and gave the default value of 1  Repeated this four or five times until the prompt said it was finished  I then ran python manage py migrate  Now it works just fine  Remember  by running python manage py makemigrations first  a revised copy of the database is created  mine was 0004  and you can always revert back to a previous database state

If anyone finds that any of the suggested   python manage py makemigrations  python manage py migrate  python manage py migrate --run-syncdb  fail  you may need to add a folder named  migrations  inside the app directory  and create an empty   init   py file

This error comes when you have not made migrations to your newly created table  So firsty write command on cmd as  python manage py makemigrations and then write another command for applying these migrations made by makemigrations command  python manage py migrate

This happened to me and for me it was because I added db sqlite3 as untracked from repository  I added it and pushed it to server so it worked properly   Also run makemigartions and migrate after doing this

It looks like there was an issue with my migration   I ran   manage py schemamigration research --auto and found that many of the fields didn t have a default specified   So  I ran   manage py schemamigration research --init followed by   manage py migrate research  Rerunning the server from there did the trick

The Thing that worked for me   Find out which migrations in your migration folder created the table if not add the class in your models py  If the class already exist in your models py  try to delete that one and run python manage py makemigrations  lt appname gt  And while migrating fake that migrations as your error might say table not found to delete using python manage py migrate  lt yourappname gt  --fake Add the class again and makemigrations again python manage py makemigrations  lt appname gt   And finally migrate again python manage py migrate  lt appname gt
