migrate command in south cause this error:table "model_name" already exist

I have a project named HubHub that contains 2 apps named DrHub and AgencyHub,when changing models syncdb doesn't change them and I tried to use south : in settings.py:

INSTALLED_APPS = (
    'django.contrib.auth',
    'django.contrib.contenttypes',
    'django.contrib.sessions',
    'django.contrib.sites',
    'django.contrib.messages',
    'django.contrib.staticfiles',
    'grappelli',
    'django.contrib.admin',
    'south',
    'AgencyHub',
    'DrHub',
)

I ran the first command to config first migration based on this tutorial: http://south.aeracode.org/docs/tutorial/part1.html

python manage.py schemamigration DrHub --initial

and the second command:

python manage.py migrate DrHub

but this command cause this error:

table "model_name" already exist

"model_name" is the name of first model of models.py in DrHub

If you found any solution then post answer.

thanks in advance

Please remove the database table and try to create sync db.

It`s because initial migration will create all tables in database for you. And you have an existing database with existing tables. You can either wipe you database and then do a migrate or you need to use a --fake option in migrate. Docs here

python manage.py migrate DrHub --fake
