Foreign key User on migration‏

[Sam Contapay]

Hi,

I tried adding a foreign key to a model in a Django app I'm building to learn 1.7. I am using Python 3.4 and Django 1.7c2

#blog/models.py

from django.contrib.auth.models import User

from django.db import models

class Comment(models.Model):

    user = models.ForeignKey(User, blank=True, null=True)

    created_at = models.DateTimeField(auto_now=True)

    comment = models.CharField(max_length=255)

This is an already existing database I ran "manage.py makemigrations" and "manage.py migrate". Make migration works fine but running migrate generates this error (I am not using a custom user model). I don't understand 'auth' not found as it is in my project settings and I am using the admin panel:

(screens)➜  screens git:(master) ✗ ./manage.py migrate

Operations to perform:

  Synchronize unmigrated apps: django_extensions, crispy_forms

  Apply all migrations: auth, admin, contenttypes, sessions, website

Synchronizing apps without migrations:

  Creating tables...

  Installing custom SQL...

  Installing indexes...

Running migrations:

I downloaded the latest code from stable/1.7.x branch and this problem no longer exists.
