Django model "doesn't declare an explicit app_label"

After a dozen hours of troubleshooting, I thought I was finally in business, but then I got: Model class django.contrib.contenttypes.models.ContentType doesn't declare an explicit app_label There is so little info on this on the web, and no solution out there has resolved my issue. I'm using Python 3.4 and Django 1.10. From my settings.py: INSTALLED_APPS = [ 'DeleteNote.apps.DeletenoteConfig', 'LibrarySync.apps.LibrarysyncConfig', 'django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.messages', 'django.contrib.staticfiles', ] And my apps.py files look like this: from django.apps import AppConfig class DeletenoteConfig(AppConfig): name = 'DeleteNote' and from django.apps import AppConfig class LibrarysyncConfig(AppConfig): name = 'LibrarySync'
Are you missing putting in your application name into the settings file? The myAppNameConfig is the default class generated at apps.py by the .manage.py createapp myAppName command. Where myAppName is the name of your app. settings.py INSTALLED_APPS = [ 'myAppName.apps.myAppNameConfig', 'django.contrib.admin', 'django.contrib.auth', 'django.contrib.contenttypes', 'django.contrib.sessions', 'django.contrib.messages', 'django.contrib.staticfiles', ] This way, the settings file finds out what you want to call your application. You can change how it looks later in the apps.py file by adding the following code in myAppName/apps.py class myAppNameConfig(AppConfig): name = 'myAppName' verbose_name = 'A Much Better Name'
