Django upgrading to 1.9 error “AppRegistryNotReady: Apps aren't loaded yet.”

Question

When upgraded to django 1.9 from 1.8 I got this error. I checked answers for similar questions, but I didn't think this is an issue with any 3rd party packages or apps.

Traceback (most recent call last):

django.core.exceptions.AppRegistryNotReady: Apps aren't loaded yet.

I modified the Installed apps for 'django.contrib.auth'.

Try to add this lines to the top of your settings file:

import django

django.setup()

And if this will not help you try to remove third-party applications from your installed apps list one-by-one.
