python - django admin error - cannot access admin page -

i started new django 1.8 project. created superuser , went 127.0.0.1:8000/admin/ , logged in that. after logging in, shows following error:

(1054, "unknown column 'django_content_type.name' in 'field list'") 

i searched around , found 1 relevant question, here.

as said in discussion there, dropped schema , recreated many times; still same error. django_content_type table in database has 3 fields: id, app_label , model. doesn't have 'name' deprecated.

also, can access other urls /admin/auth/, /admin/auth/users/, trying add more users gives following error(i think coming due same problem above):

error creating new content types. please make sure contenttypes migrated before trying migrate apps individually. 

i'm new django in general. appreciated. thanks.

here's full error:

i realised error shows django version 1.7 whereas installed django 1.8 using pip. ran python manage.py shell , checked django version there(cannot post screenshot, rep not high enough).

$ python manage.py shell >>> import django >>> django.version (1, 8, 2, 'final', 0) >>> 

how can correct this? again. i'm using virtualenv.

edit: adding urls.py

"""rmgl_project url configuration  `urlpatterns` list routes urls views. more information please see: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.8/topics/http/urls/ examples: function views     1. add import:  my_app import views     2. add url urlpatterns:  url(r'^$', views.home, name='home') class-based views     1. add import:  other_app.views import home     2. add url urlpatterns:  url(r'^$', home.as_view(), name='home') including urlconf     1. add import:  blog import urls blog_urls     2. add url urlpatterns:  url(r'^blog/', include(blog_urls)) """ django.conf.urls import include, url django.contrib import admin  urlpatterns = [     url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)), ] 

adding manage.py:

#!/usr/bin/env python import os import sys  if __name__ == "__main__":     os.environ.setdefault("django_settings_module",     "rmgl_project.settings")      django.core.management import execute_from_command_line      execute_from_command_line(sys.argv) 

the problem virtualenv - not enabled.

in order check version of django (and path module), add following lines ./manage.py file:

print(__import__('django')) # should print module information print(__import__('django').__file__) # should print location of __init__.py file 

right after if __name__ == '__main__' line.
