Error while doing syncdb with a GIS app

[asgrewal]

The following error occurs while doing syncdb when an app contains GIS information, in my case a simple model with a PointField member. I am using Postgresql with postgis. The same code works fine for django 1.1

(django-dev-sandbox)ajeet@virtual-ubuntu:~/projects/enroute2$ python manage.py syncdb

Due to the multi-db merge into trunk, in order to be backwards-compatible with 1.1.X settings, you'll need 'django.contrib.gis' in your INSTALLED_APPS setting to ensure that the spatial database backend (django.contrib.gis.db.backends.postgis) is used instead of the regular backend (django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2). You can also just upgrade your settings to use the new DATABASES syntax for configuring your database and explicitly specify the spatial backend:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.contrib.gis.db.backends.postgis',
        'NAME': 'geodjango',
        'USER': 'myuser',
    }
}
