I set up a MySQL databse following this tutorial:
http://www.saltycrane.com/blog/2008/07/how-set-django-mysql-ubuntu-hardy/
Here is what I did:
$ mysql -u root -p
Enter password:
Welcome to the MySQL monitor. Commands end with ; or \g.
Your MySQL connection id is 1
Server version: 5.0.51a-3ubuntu5.1 (Ubuntu)
Type 'help;' or '\h' for help. Type '\c' to clear the buffer.
mysql> CREATE DATABASE django_db;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.01 sec)
mysql> GRANT ALL ON django_db.* TO 'djangouser'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'mypassword';
Query OK, 0 rows affected (0.03 sec)
mysql> quit
Bye
Inside my Django project's settings.py file I did this:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'mysql', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
'NAME': 'djangodb', # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
'USER': 'djangouser', # Not used with sqlite3.
'PASSWORD': 'mypassword', # Not used with sqlite3.
'HOST': '', # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
'PORT': '', # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.
}
}
But when i go to the terminal and type:
python manage.py runserver
I get this:
Validating models...
