Django error in Heroku: “Please supply the ENGINE value”

Question

I read and apply \"Getting started with Django on Heroku\" tutorial but ran into problem while syncing db:

raise ImproperlyConfigured(\"settings.DATABASES is         


        

Answer 1

After trying all the answers here and verifying DATABASE_URL exists, nothing worked.

I added the second line and it worked

DATABASES['default'] = dj_database_url.config() <--- heroko docs says this is enough
DATABASES['default']['ENGINE'] = 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2' <---- add this
