Description
Using the documentation found here: http://www.djangoproject.com/documentation/authentication/#how-to-log-a-user-in, one may run into the error: "Site matching query does not exist."
The solution is to add a site to your sites table from within the Admin interface. This should be added to the documentation to increase understanding.

If
django.contrib.sitesis inINSTALLED_APPSand you've runsyncdb, you do have aSiteobject in your DB. If you've gone and deleted it manually, well, lots of things will break. Probably the best route is a separate issue -- adding a slightly stronger wording to the tutorial to indicate that messing with the defaults when you aren't aware of their dependencies is a bad idea.
