Hi there,

I've tried installing Netbox on a CentOS 7 server by following the documentation. I used pip and the requirements file to install Django and dependencies:

[root@server netbox]# pip install -r requirements.txt
...
Collecting Django>=1.10 (from -r requirements.txt (line 3))
  Downloading Django-1.10.6-py2.py3-none-any.whl (6.8MB)

...
  Found existing installation: Django 1.8.11
    Uninstalling Django-1.8.11:
      Successfully uninstalled Django-1.8.11
...

Software combination is as below:
CentOS Linux release 7.2.1511 (Core)
Python 2.7.5
Django 1.10.6
Netbox 1.8.4

Have tried cloning from the Git repo (master branch) and downloading zip archive, both do not appear to be working, error as below:

[root@server netbox]# ./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 --insecure

However, if I downgrade Django to 1.9 (as test server ouput on the install docs shows 1.9.7) as below:

[root@server netbox]# pip install django==1.9

    Uninstalling Django-1.10.6:

Then it seems to work without issues:

[root@server netbox]# ./manage.py runserver 0.0.0.0:8000 --insecure

I raised as it appears to be an issue with netbox and Django 1.10, which is what pip installs with the requirements.txt.
