IntegrityError at /admin/flatpages/flatpage/add/

Description

In attempt to share users and sessions across multiple Django projects, I have created a database router for the session and auth models. This caused a hiccup for the admin site when I needed to generate a superuser in the remote database so I could login to /admin/. It seemed to work fine until I tried to make a change and the following error occured:

IntegrityError at /admin/flatpages/flatpage/add/
insert or update on table "django_admin_log" violates foreign key constraint "django_admin_log_user_id_fkey"
DETAIL: Key (user_id)=(2964) is not present in table "auth_user".

It seems that the logging system is not honoring my router for the 'auth' model.

There's not enough information here to evaluate where the problem is, nor if what you are trying to do is even possible given the current constraints of multi-db. One of those constraints is no ForeignKeys crossing databases (see http://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.3/topics/db/multi-db/#cross-database-relations). The error is getting reported for an admin model (the admin log entry model: https://code.djangoproject.com/browser/django/tags/releases/1.3/django/contrib/admin/models.py#L13) that has a ForeignKey to the auth User model. Has your routing setup taken into account how to deal with non-auth models that may have ForeignKeys to auth-provided models such as User?

I am experiencing similar error in the admin interface with Django 1.6.1. I have a custom user model and multiple database setup. It happens every time I try to perform a save action on any model. There are only two databases and no foreign-key relations crossing over.
Two unexpected factors:
1) missing key value is very high (148) and I currently have only 1 user on my development machine, so why 148? I might have deleted some accounts, but I doubt it was as many as 148...
2) relation target table is auth_user, while I do have a custom user model which is a separate table (user_client). Why does the admin enforce relation to the auth_user table (which is empty btw)?

the error persists with single database setup. it seems the custom user model is the culprit.

It might be an issue with a incomplete migration to a custom user model. To debug that, we'd need the result of ./manage.py sqlall admin on one side and the real structure/constraints of your database regarding the django_admin_log table.

that's exactly reason. the custom user model had been improperly registered with the admin interface. my bad :)
