Yes. I know, that's why I added label="myauth". The problem is Django
1.6 allowed to call it 'auth'. Yes, it was our fault, we should have
called it accounts or something else.

I'm sorry, I think I'm not following you. Are you saying myauth_myuser
are not used?

If I migrate this app to 1.8.5, and I add label="myauth" to avoid
collision with django.contrib.auth, I lose the users. They're in the
auth_myuser table, myauth_myuser is empty. If I create a user, the
user is created in myauth_myuser table.

Don't worry. I'll make a dB dump, change the tables by hand and import
everything with label='myauth'. I was hoping there was a "Django way"
to fix this problem.

Thanks,

I fixed this problem.

I used this as a guide https://stackoverflow.com/questions/8408046/how-to-change-the-name-of-a-django-app

I renamed my app 'auth' to 'accounts' and then changed all the references of auth.something to accounts.something.

I renamed the tables and sequences (I use postgres):

auth_myuser -> accounts_myuser

auth_myuser_id_seq -> accounts_myuser_id_seq

etc.

I removed the southmigrations table.

Also changed django_content_type as described in the above post.

Then I upgraded to django<1.8, then <1.9, and lastly 1.9. I couldn't upgrade directly to 1.9.

Thanks all,

Regards,

Norberto
