Django 1.8 + CMS error: django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: relation “cms_cmsplugin” does not exist

Yeah I resolved this issue....the main thing was that i was using django 1.7 and by default it was trying to run south migrations so in order to resolve that i just added this to MIGRATION_MODULE under the settings.py: 'djangocms_text_ckeditor': 'djangocms_text_ckeditor.migrations_django',

This will explicitly tell the framework to run migrations instead of south migrations. Since the main issue was djangocms_text_ckeditor's table was not getting created under the db

I'm not familiar with the specific issue, but sometimes going to migrations folder in your app

(app->migrations) and deleting all the files except the __init__ files and running python manage.py migrate helped me.

Well, what I do is to remove all cms plugins except 'cms' itself, run python manage.py migrate add again all plugins and alter, again, python manage.py migrate

It seems that Django tries to create the tables for the plugins before the 'cms' app's one

As you see it's not a big deal if you just know it.

Usually people will install them one by one, but if you do it with pip from requirements.txt or similar, you will face this.
