Trying to debug this error with getting a Django project running

ImproperlyConfigured: AUTH_USER_MODEL refers to model 'accounts.User' that has not been installed

Running

python manage.py migrate

Must iterate i am in no way a python or django expert - I have simply inherited someone elses project that I am trying to get running for the team here.

I have followed steps to

install postgres required modules including south creating database for postgres

Any help appreciated on how to debug this.

settings/base.py contains

INSTALLED_APPS = DJANGO_APPS + THIRD_PARTY_APPS + LOCAL_APPS

LOCAL_APPS = ( 'apps.core', 'apps.accounts', 'apps.project_tool', 'apps.internal', 'apps.external', )

so apps.accounts exits - but it asks for AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'accounts.User' - should it be

AUTH_USER_MODEL = 'apps.accounts.User'?
