How do I fix this Django error "Exception Type: OperationalError Exception Value: no such table?"

Using django version 1.10, I had to perform:

python manage.py migrate --run-syncdb

• Did you run ./manage.py syncdb to create all your tables?
• Do you have django.contrib.contenttypes in your INSTALLED_APPS in settings.py?

As an unlikely third option:

• Does your project/app use the Django app "South"? If so, you would also need to run ./manage.py migrate to make sure all tables get created.

Forgetting any of those items would cause the table(s) for ContentType not to be generated.
