1050 OperationalError

[Davey Marsden]

I looked in w2p manual, and there is one example of OperationalError - attempting to insert the same person.p.398.

My message is: <class '_mysql_exceptions.OperationalError'> (1050, "Table 'auth_user' already exists")

the code includes a "db.define_table(auth_user

and that's where it seems to be failing.

Any takers?

It is possible that you do not have a .table file in the databases folder,  but yet the db.auth_user table already does exist in your database. 

The solution to that problem is usually to use fake_migrate to generate a corresponding table file.  This can be found referenced in the book.  Hope that helps.
