Django: ProgrammingError relation does not exists
<p>To setup new database on <code>heroku</code> I tried <code>python manage migrate</code> and got many exceptions related to <code>relation already exists/does not exists</code>. So I followed the instructions here <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/37575236/django-1-9-programmingerror-relation-users-user-does-not-exist">django 1.9: ProgrammingError: relation &quot;users_user&quot; does not exist</a> but it didn't work.</p>

<pre><code>~ $ django-admin showmigrations
admin
 [ ] 0001_initial
 [ ] 0002_logentry_remove_auto_add
auth
 [ ] 0001_initial
 [ ] 0002_alter_permission_name_max_length
 [ ] 0003_alter_user_email_max_length

 [ ] 0006_require_contenttypes_0002
 [ ] 0007_alter_validators_add_error_messages
 [ ] 0008_alter_user_username_max_length

 [ ] 0002_remove_content_type_name

 [ ] 0001_squashed_0024_auto_20161205_2214 (24 squashed migrations)

<p>and when I run <code>migrate</code></p>

<p>The migrations work fine when run them locally with <code>sqlite3</code> database but not on <code>heroku</code> with <code>postgresql</code>.</p>
