Re: Error configuring Django to run customized comments framework

A bit late, so you may have solved this or given up on it, but
still... I just had the same error message and eventually solved it by
changing the order of my INSTALLED_APPS. So maybe you have slightly
different settings on your local and live servers, and the apps are
ordered differently on each?

For example if I did this:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.sites',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.comments',
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.markup',
'django.contrib.flatpages',
'taggit',
'myproject.weblog',
'myproject.aggregator',
'myproject.comments', # My custom comment app
)

then I got the error. But if I did this:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.sites',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.comments',
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.markup',
'django.contrib.flatpages',
'taggit',
'myproject.comments', # My custom comment app
'myproject.weblog',
'myproject.aggregator',
)

(ie, move 'myproject.comments', my custom comments app, further up)
then it worked fine. It just seems to need to be above
'myproject.weblog', so maybe it's some dependency in my code I don't
fully understand. Anyway, hope that helps.
