current transaction is aborted...

[Matt Mansour]

Howdy all -

I had a mezzanine instance running (mezz 1.14, django 1.4.0) install without cartridge. I decided to give cartridge a try. When I grabbed it it upgraded me to what I believe is the latest mezzanine verison and django 1.4.2. Now when I try to hit the site I get:

"current transaction is aborted, commands ignored until end of transaction block"

I will dig in, and if anyone might know what's going on the head's up would be a greatly appreciated time saver.

Any ideas?

Hi Matt,

That is the generic error message to indicate that your DB is out of sync with the application. To resolve this, start with a `python manage.py migrate --list | grep -v '*'`. Identify which applications are out of sync – most likely 'shop' based on what you said – and then run `python manage.py migrate shop` or whatever app is out of sync. If you do not have South installed (WHAT?!) a `python manage.py syncdb` should resolve the issue.

Let us know how it works out.

best,

ken

Ken thank you so much. I love the tip on identifying which apps are out of sync with the db. In this case I did not read the cartridge installation instructions closely enough. I did a fresh install  of the mezz/cartridge combo - instead of trying to integrate cartridge into an older virtualenv solo mezz install - and in fired right up.
