When I try to start up Mediathread, I'm getting this error:

Hi Nate -

Have you resolved this one yet?

Jonah had asked -- are you using postgres or sqllite? Have you run ./manage.py migrate?

I'd add -- have you seen this error before? Have you bookmark'd or manually added any assets to the system recently?

Cheers, Susan
