I cannot `runserver`, `validate` or `shell_plus` (django_extensions). I've had this problem with many versions of Django, but somehow managed to find where the error was. This time, I can't, and all I get is this cryptic error, absolutely not related to the position of the error, even with the `--traceback` and `verbosity` options. {{{ Traceback (most recent call last): File ""/home/username/virtualenv/project/one/manage.py"", line 8, in execute_from_command_line(sys.argv) File ""/home/username/virtualenv/project/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py"", line 399, in execute_from_command_line utility.execute() File ""/home/username/virtualenv/project/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py"", line 392, in execute self.fetch_command(subcommand).run_from_argv(self.argv) File ""/home/username/virtualenv/project/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py"", line 242, in run_from_argv self.execute(*args, **options.__dict__) File ""/home/username/virtualenv/project/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py"", line 285, in execute output = self.handle(*args, **options) File ""/home/username/virtualenv/project/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py"", line 415, in handle return self.handle_noargs(**options) File ""/home/username/virtualenv/project/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/commands/validate.py"", line 10, in handle_noargs self.validate(display_num_errors=True) File ""/home/username/virtualenv/project/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py"", line 314, in validate raise CommandError(""One or more models did not validate:\n%s"" % error_text) django.core.management.base.CommandError: One or more models did not validate: menu.bookmark: 'user' has a relation with model user.User, which has either not been installed or is abstract. reversion.revision: 'user' has a relation with model user.User, which has either not been installed or is abstract. auth.user: Model has been swapped out for 'user.User' which has not been installed or is abstract. moderation.moderatedobject: 'moderated_by' has a relation with model user.User, which has either not been installed or is abstract. moderation.moderatedobject: 'changed_by' has a relation with model user.User, which has either not been installed or is abstract. admin.logentry: 'user' has a relation with model user.User, which has either not been installed or is abstract. dashboard.dashboardpreferences: 'user' has a relation with model user.User, which has either not been installed or is abstract. }}} In the `shell` command, I can import the `User` model and several others, so I know there is no typo in this model."
