Django error when creating superuser django.db.utils.OperationalError: no such table: auth_user

Question

I am pretty new to django. All of a sudden I ran into this error when trying to create a superuser from windows command prompt using

python manage.py createsuperuser

When I enter it, I get this error

django.db.utils.OperationalError: no such table: auth_user

I created a brand new virtual environment and project but I keep getting this issue. Has anyone seen this before?

Answer 1

As the error shows, there is no such table auth_user .

auth_user is the table which will store the user information but that has not yet been created in the database.

To do so, run the command;

python manage.py migrate
