Unable to create superuser in django due to not working in TTY

Question

I go through first django tutorial from djangoproject.com and at the very beginning of part 2, which is creating superuser when I run "python manage.py createsuperuser" I get the following message back:

Superuser creation skipped due to not running in a TTY. You can run `manage.py createsuperuser` in your project to create one manually.    

I get the same message when I go on to create superuser after running syncdb .

I am working on Eclipse for Windows 7, and Django 1.7.1 together with Python 2.7.8.

Answer 1

When using the Git Bash and to correct the above error message try to append winpty
ie for example:

$ winpty python manage.py createsuperuser
Username (leave blank to use '...'):

Answer 2

if you are in virtualenv, cd into your virtualenv and activate it. then try these steps:

python manage.py syncdb --noinput
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py createsuperuser

Answer 3

You can create a superuser using django shell ( python manage.py shell )

from django.contrib.auth.models import User
User.objects.create_superuser(username='YourUsername', password='hunter2', email='your@email.com')

Answer 4

I am a Windows10 user. I tried to run py manage.py createsuperuser command using Git Bash console, but error has been thrown. Then I switched Git Bash to native Windows Command Line with administrator privileges , and re-run command - it was working.

Answer 5

Use "Windows PowerShell" or "Windows Cmd" and then use same command. Git command interface has some restriction.

Answer 6

First run

$ django-admin startproject mysite in cmd prompt,then apply migration by

cd mysite mysite:

python manage.py makemigrations then

python manage.py migrate after that

python manage.py createsuperuser

Answer 7

From Django 3.0 you can do it without TTY

    DJANGO_SUPERUSER_USERNAME=admin DJANGO_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD=psw \
    python manage.py createsuperuser --email=admin@admin.com --noinput

also, you can set DJANGO_SUPERUSER_PASSWORD as the environment variable

Answer 8

Use this command :

python3 manage.py makemigrations

python3 manage.py migrate

python3 manage.py createsuperuser

python manage.py runserver

Your error is probably:

[Error `You have 14 unapplied migration(s). Your project may not work properly until you apply the migrations for app(s): admin, auth, content types, sessions.
Run 'python manage.py migrate' to apply them.

Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/db/backends/utils.py", line 85, in _execute
    return self.cursor.execute(sql, params)
  File "/Library/Frameworks/Python.framework/Versions/3.7/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/db/backends/sqlite3/base.py", line 303, in execute
    return Database.Cursor.execute(self, query, params)`][1]

check you yo directory with Tree command: tree

Then run Make migration : enter image description here

then create superuser with the python3 manage.py createsuperuser command :
