"Table does not exist" error running tutorial under 1.7rc3

[Russell Keith-Magee]

Logging this as a placeholder; it's possible this might not be a problem, but two people got it independently during the Django tutorial at DjangoCon US.

The first time you run "django-admin.py run server" in the tutorial, you should get the "congratulations, it worked" page. However, unless you run syncdb, you get a nasty stack trace complaining about the absence of the sessions table.

The order was switched in 6923fdbbf1824d6e28cc1d283b48146c7f58c6ea to make sure the database is migrated first, so I don't think it's an issue.

[Collin Anderson]

Ok, so you must migrate before using runserver for the first time.
