Problem in "Setup Database" step

[oussa]

When following the steps to setup the project, I get the following errors when I run the make create_database; make make_fixtures command. I get the same problems whether running on Django1.7 or 1.8.

(venvDjango1.7)[oussama@oussa django-api-rest-and-angular]$ make create_database; make make_fixtures
./manage.py syncdb --noinput

[oussa]

I resolved the problem and got everything running successfully by first removing the generated database file $ rm example.sqlite
Then I tackled the source of the problem, which is clearly the migration phase. I removed the existing migrations in the api app.
$ rm -rf example/api/migrations
The last two commands assume that you are on the root of the cloned project.
After this the "Setup Database" step will run successfully and the project can be started.

I updated the migrations, let me know if this problem persists and I'll reopen.
