django.db.utils.IntegrityError: (1048, "Column 'last_login' cannot be null")

I already did the syncdb and created the tables in mysql. but when trying to create superuser i get the above error. I tried different documentations but none is about the create super user and how to solve this.

Any leads is highly welcome. I have been having trouble with django deployment. Thank you in advance

Since you're using the admin app, don't forget to sync all admin related apps (eg sessions, admin, auth, contenttypes).

Not:

python manage.py migrate myapp

But:

python manage.py migrate
