[Fixed]-Django CMS initial migration fail

You probably miss the 'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates' entry inside the TEMPLATES setting, in your settings file. Check out https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/settings/#templates

Make sure that all of your entries are listed in single dictionary. For instance, if you are following along with the ‘Integrating a third-party application’ tutorial, when they show the following…

'OPTIONS': {
         'context_processors': [
             # ...
             'aldryn_boilerplates.context_processors.boilerplate',
             ],
         'loaders': [
             # ...
             'aldryn_boilerplates.template_loaders.AppDirectoriesLoader',
             ],
         },
     },

…you need to integrate it into your existing dictionary. Your TEMPLATES array would then look like the following:

TEMPLATES = [
{
    'BACKEND': 'django.template.backends.django.DjangoTemplates',
    'DIRS': [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates'),],
    'OPTIONS': {
        'context_processors': [
            'django.contrib.auth.context_processors.auth',
            'django.template.context_processors.debug',
            'django.template.context_processors.i18n',
            'django.template.context_processors.media',
            'django.template.context_processors.static',
            'django.template.context_processors.tz',
            'django.contrib.messages.context_processors.messages',
            'django.template.context_processors.request',
            'django.template.context_processors.csrf',
            'sekizai.context_processors.sekizai',
            'cms.context_processors.cms_settings'
            'aldryn_boilerplates.context_processors.boilerplate',
        ],
        'loaders': [
            'django.template.loaders.filesystem.Loader',
            'django.template.loaders.app_directories.Loader',
            'django.template.loaders.eggs.Loader',
            'aldryn_boilerplates.template_loaders.AppDirectoriesLoader',
        ],
    },
}
]
