Site matching query does not exist

Viewed 72148

Python noob, as in this is my first project, so excuse my unfamiliarity.

The site was working very well until I clicked "log out" on my app. After that, the website would give me this error: DoesNotExist at /login/ Site matching query does not exist.

I searched everywhere and the only solution I get relates to setting up the site framework, SITE_ID, etc. I think those items on my computer are fine, but I can't find a walkthrough/guide to help me check on them.

Can anyone tell me what the problem is and how to fix it? Thanks in advance :3

 DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
        'NAME': '/home/dotcloud/nhs.db',                      # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
        'USER': '',                      # Not used with sqlite3.
        'PASSWORD': '',                  # Not used with sqlite3.
        'HOST': '',                      # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
        'PORT': '',                      # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.
    }
}

Add SITE_ID = 1 to settings.py in your django project.

I see answers to create a new site and reference id for that. But if you already have a site or somehow you deleted and created the site again from UI then the id keeps on incrementing. To solve this you can get the id as follows:

python manage.py shell
from django.contrib.sites.models import Site
print(Site.objects.get(name='example.com').id)

Get the id you get here into setting.py . Eg.

SITE_ID = 8

Basically ID in table corresponding yo tour site and in the settings.py should match.

enter image description here

Query the ID in your database django_site tables and set the right one in your Django settings.py, for example: SITE_ID = 3

it seems you fotgot to add SITE_ID=1 in settings.py
