Hello, I am new to python-django and pythonanywhere. I would like to deploy my first website on pythonanywhere. I followed these steps: https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/DeployExistingDjangoProject/ , but got an error when I want to setup a database. This is the error when I try "python manage.py migrate" What can I do to solve the error?

You have code somewhere that is trying to use the table at import time. So, when migrate imports Django, it tries to use the table, but it does not exist yet because you have not run migrate. Find that code (using the traceback) and make sure it does not run at import time.
