I have deployed my django project in pythonanywhere, DATABASES is improperly configured error

问题

I have deployed my django project in pythonanywhere without any databases required, I am getting the error- DATABASES is improperly configured . The link to my deployed project is -http://drchitradhawle.pythonanywhere.com/

My setting.py file is-

# Build paths inside the project like this: os.path.join(BASE_DIR, ...)
import os
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(__file__))

Although you don't want to use database in your project but still you have to give database defination as @conrad said. So you can use sqlite3, a file based database that does not require setting up a database account and password.

Set up your database setting as -

 DATABASES = {
              'default': {
                   'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
                   'NAME': '/home/<username>/<ProjectName>/db.sqlite',
                   'USER': '',
                   'PASSWORD': '',
                   'HOST': '',
                   'PORT': ''
               }
          }

After that run the below command in console -

 python ./manage.py syncdb

Now you will be asked for password, username and email-Id for creating superuser for database. And its all done!

回答2:

Django needs a database to store information such as session/cookie info. So even if you don't use the database for your own website stuff, you still need one.

Fortunately, just using the default sqlite settings, and then running ./manage.py syncdb should be enough to get everything working for now.
