Because Django is behind Nginx’s reverse proxy, it doesn’t know the original request was secure. In your Django settings, set the SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER setting: SECURE_PROXY_SSL_HEADER = (‘HTTP_X_FORWARDED_PROTO’, ‘https’) Then, you need Nginx to set … Read more
For anyone else wanting to do this, I’d recommend taking a look at django-email-as-username which is a pretty comprehensive solution, that includes patching up the admin and the createsuperuser management commands, amongst other bits and pieces. Edit: As of Django 1.5 onwards you should consider using a custom user model instead of django-email-as-username.

If anyone else is having the same problem, this is how I solved it. I added this to my scrapy settings.py file: def setup_django_env(path): import imp, os from django.core.management import setup_environ f, filename, desc = imp.find_module(‘settings’, [path]) project = imp.load_module(‘settings’, f, filename, desc) setup_environ(project) setup_django_env(‘/path/to/django/project/’) Note: the path above is to your django project folder, … Read more

Use the related_name … Read more
