getting started problem

[brian]

I'm trying to work the the tutorial but with an existing app. I get
an exception.

Here are the steps I'm doing:
1. Create Knight model in application southtutApp
2. Create instance: p1 = Knight(name='knight 1',
of_the_round_table=True)
p1.save()
3. enable south in settings.py
4. manage.py syncdb
5. manage.py convert_to_south southtutApp
6. manage.py schemamigration southtutApp –auto
7. manage.py migrate southtut

When I do step #7 I get the exception:
Traceback (most recent call last):

Hi,

I guess you use 'southtut' somewhere, but it can't be imported, or maybe it is missing in settings.py INSTALLED_APPS.

check your source where you use southtut (if on linux)

find mysource-directory -name '*.py'|xargs grep southtut

.... now I see a mistake: you use southtutApp first, but later just "southtut". Try "southtutApp".
