Hello, I'm re-posting this.
Note that I already tried AUTH_USER_MODEL = "myauth.MyUser', and while that makes the problem disappear, the change also creates new tables in the database. What are my options? AFAIK 1.6 is deprecated for security reasons and I want to upgrade to 1.8.x. Thanks.

To: 'Tom <django-users@googlegroups.com> Hello, I'm trying to upgrade an app from Django 1.6 to 1.8 but I can't solve a problem apparently related to a custom user model. The project has an 'auth' app with its corresponding models.py and apps.py. The snippet pasted bellow reproduces the problem which I don't know how to fix. Many TIA, Norberto # auth/models.py from django.contrib.auth.models import AbstractUser from django.db import models class MyUser(AbstractUser): pass # auth/apps.py from django.apps import AppConfig class MyAuth(AppConfig): name = 'auth' label = 'myauth' # project/setting.py INSTALLED_APPS = ( ... 'auth.apps.MyAuth', ... ) AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'auth.MyUser' Note apps.py is there just because 'auth' collides with django.contrib.auth. $ ./manage.py makemigrations Traceback (most recent call last): File "/home/ubuntu/.virtualenvs/testauth/lib/python3.4/site-packages/django/apps/config.py", line 159, in get_model return self.models[model_name.lower()] KeyError: 'myuser' During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred: Traceback (most recent call last): File "./manage.py", line 10, in <module> execute_from_command_line(sys.argv) File "/home/ubuntu/.virtualenvs/testauth/lib/python3.4/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 351, in execute_from_command_line utility.execute() File "/home/ubuntu/.virtualenvs/testauth/lib/python3.4/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 343, in execute self.fetch_command(subcommand).run_from_argv(self.argv) File "/home/ubuntu/.virtualenvs/testauth/lib/python3.4/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 394, in run_from_argv self.execute(*args, **cmd_options) File "/home/ubuntu/.virtualenvs/testauth/lib/python3.4/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 444, in execute self.check() File "/home/ubuntu/.virtualenvs/testauth/lib/python3.4/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 482, in check include_deployment_checks=include_deployment_checks, File "/home/ubuntu/.virtualenvs/testauth/lib/python3.4/site-packages/django/core/checks/registry.py", line 72, in run_checks new_errors = check(app_configs=app_configs) File "/home/ubuntu/.virtualenvs/testauth/lib/python3.4/site-packages/django/contrib/auth/checks.py", line 12, in check_user_model cls = apps.get_model(settings.AUTH_USER_MODEL) File "/home/ubuntu/.virtualenvs/testauth/lib/python3.4/site-packages/django/apps/registry.py", line 202, in get_model return self.get_app_config(app_label).get_model(model_name.lower()) File "/home/ubuntu/.virtualenvs/testauth/lib/python3.4/site-packages/django/apps/config.py", line 162, in get_model "App '%s' doesn't have a '%s' model." % (self.label, model_name)) LookupError: App 'auth' doesn't have a 'myuser' model. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
