URLS

from django.conf.urls import patterns, include, url

admin.autodiscover()

urlpatterns = patterns('',

After adding django admin you need to syncdb. I guess you forgot to do that step. :) — iraycd, May 28 '13 at 09:23
Creating tables ... Installing custom SQL ... Installing indexes ... Installed 0 object(s) from 0 fixture(s) Finished Still the same — onkar, May 28 '13 at 11:01

You don't really need the sites framework if you only run one site from the project, so the easiest fix would be to remove the following item from your INSTALLED_APPS and the error should go away:

'django.contrib.sites'

You can also re-create the missing Site object from shell. Run python manage.py shell and then:

from django.contrib.sites.models import Site
Site.objects.create(pk=1, domain='www.xxx.com', name='xxx.com')

I guess this might help you.

what must be the domain if I am using it on localhost ? – onkar May 30 '13 at 08:02 — onkar, May 30 '13 at 08:02
