Django not creating db tables for models (neither with syncdb nor South)

Question

I have a Django project on a Centos VPS.

I created some models and debugged them so they validate and give no errors. I have them in a "models" folder in my myapp and have added each model to the init file in this directory, for example:

from category import Category

I added the app to settings.py INSTALLED_APPS and ran:

Python manage.py syncdb

It appeared to work fine and added all tables apart from the ones for my app.

I then installed South and added that to INSTALLED_APPS and, tried syncdb again and ran:

Python manage.py schemamigration myapp --initial

It generated the file correctly but nothing was in it (none of the tables my models).

An example file in "models" folder (usertype.py)

from django.db import models

class UserType(models.Model):
    usertype_id = models.PositiveIntegerField(primary_key=True)
    description = models.CharField(max_length=100)
    is_admin = models.BooleanField()
    is_moderator = models.BooleanField()

class Meta:
    app_label = 'myapp'

Any ideas what could be going wrong here and why I can't get anything to detect my models?

Answer 1

Run the following commands

python manage.py makemigrations yourappname

python manage.py migrate

Note it works on django 1.7 version for me.
