Actually the problem was that the table never got created. Since I am fairly new with django, I did not know that ./manage.py syncdb does not update existing models, but only creates the ones that do not exist.
Because the model ‘Server’ existed before I added the other model, and it was already in the db, ‘syncdb’ did not actually create the new tables.

As a tip for the future, look into South, a very useful utility for applying your model changes to the database without having to create a new database each time you’ve changed the model(s).
With it you can easily: python manage.py migrate app_name and South will write your model changes.
The documentation is pretty straightforward.

I meet the same problem today and fix it.
I think you miss some command in tutorial 1.
just do follow:
./python manage.py makemigrations polls
python manage.py sql polls
./python manage.py syncdb
then fix it and gain the table polls and you can see the table created.
you should read the manage.py makemigrations command.

- use “manage.py help” to check the command
- if you find migrate and makemigration, it means your python has updated
step 1:
python manage.py makemigration
result 1:
Migrations for 'mainsite':
mainsite\migrations\0001_initial.py
- Create model Post
step 2:
python manage.py migrate
result 2:
Operations to perform:
Apply all migrations: admin, auth, contenttypes, mainsite, sessions
Running migrations:
Applying mainsite.0001_initial... OK
finally, runserver. Done
