This may or may not be directly related to this particular error, you do have a mistake in your User model definition.

You have:

> [@prateekkumaroriginal](#):
>
> `class User(AbstractBaseUser, PermissionsMixin):`

Mixin classes must appear _before_ the base class in a model class definition.

If this is not the solution to the problem, we’ll need to know more details about _when_ you’re getting this error. What were you doing or clicked on, to cause this error to appear?

This is the page. I clicked `Save` at the right bottom.

Did you fix your model definition? If so, what was the result?

Something has messed up your database then.

Depending upon how much data you’re concerned about in the database, you might just want to drop it and recreate it.

Otherwise, you can use your database tools to empty the `django_admin_log` table.

I am doing this in a docker django project, so please tell me how to do this. I have no idea how to recreate the database and if I recreated the database, will my superuser gets deleted too?
