Error on publishing a Django-CMS 2.4 page

I have just updated my site from Django-CMS 2.3 to 2.4, and from Django 1.4.3 to Django 1.5.1.

The site runs fine on my dev environment; at first it gives me the welcome to Django-CMS page (with the pony), and then I just had to run through each page in the admin panel, and press "publish draft" on it to make it appear.

When I tried to repeat the trick on prod though, all goes well until I try to press "publish draft" on the home page. The other pages are ok, but this page gives me the error message:

Field 'moderator_state' doesn't have a default value

I can preview the page fine, but it won't publish.

Can anyone suggest what I might be doing wrong?

thanks!

Solution

  • Have a look through the upgrade guide and make sure to apply DB migrations:

    python manage.py migrate cms

    Also, the moderator option is no longer in use so make sure to remove it from the settings.py
