When trying to apply the migrations with 'migrate ', I get {{{ django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: (1146, ""Table '.django_content_type' doesn't exist"") }}} Makes sense so far as django_content_type is from another app. Running 'migrate' (without app name) runs through my first app OK. When it runs through the migrations for the second app, I get {{{ ValueError: Related model 'appname.Modelname' cannot be resolved }}} I checked the spelling in the migrations inital file, it's fine. The Model with the field which gives the error contains 2 ManyToManyFields, let's call them A and B for convenience. They are identical except for the model they reference. Field A relates to a model from a third app, which has not been handled by migrations by then. Field B relates to a model from the first app. In the migrations file (and the model), Field A is mentioned first and gives no errors. Field B is mentioned after Field A and raises the ValueError."
