Ok, I figured out the problems: 1. I turned on the verbose option to get some error messages: python manage.py loaddata mytest1.json --verbosity=2
2. I had my fixtures directory under my project, and not the app. When I moved it to be under the app, loaddata found it. 3. When I did dumpdata, it dumped everything in the database, not just the app model data. So I edited the json file to include only the app model data, and loaddata worked fine. To summarize, it is possible (altho I don't know how well-recommended) to dumpdata, change models, delete and recreate the database using syncdb, and then loaddata, without touching SQL. [Now I'm looking for a simpler way to dumpdata only for the model classes, and not for all the admin stuff in the database...something about default and custom managers?
