Migration issue on Webfaction

[Richard Jackson]

Hi there - I'm incredibly inexperienced and using a Mezzanine-powered site, but this should still be an issue with my lack of Django understanding:

My site is currently down ("Internal Server Error") due to mishandled migrations. When I try to deploy the code to WebFaction I get the error message:

django.db.migrations.graph.NodeNotFoundError: Migration vital_theme.0033_auto_20161220_1741 dependencies reference nonexistent parent node (u'vital_theme', u'0032_sitewidecontent')

...which to my understanding is saying that migration 0033 is looking for content within migration 0032, which it can't find.

I think I've caused issues by messing up the migrations files (even locally removing all files in the migrations folder aside from __init__.py and making fresh migrations locally) and pushing up local databases which aren't matching what the uploaded code wants to see. Essentially I think I've messed up a lot and am not sure how to unmess this up.

The site is working locally with a suitable version of the database, with one single, fresh, 0001_initial migration file.

Please let me know the best course of action; I was expecting to be able to deploy the files and for the migration files to be overwritten but this hasn't been the case.

Thanks,

Rich

yes, check that you committed the file, I've had this kind of error too many times just because after creating the migration I forgot to git add

If you removed your migration files you may try to recover them from your version control.

Alternatively ou may create an initial migration file that reflects the current state of your production DB and fake apply the migrations
