Heroku应用程序上的远程Postgres数据库

Question

How can i connect my Heroku app to a Postgres database hosted on amazon EC2 without any paid addon? I am using Django and my current code is:

DATABASES = {'default': dj_database_url.config(default='postgres://postgres:xxx@publicip/dbname')}

but i am still getting connected to my local database instead..

Answer 1

Your application is likely connecting to a free Postgres database as defined by the DATABASE_URL environment variable. You should use config:set to set that variable to point to your remote database, and ensure your code connects to that DATABASE_URL :

$ heroku config:set DATABASE_URL=postgres://postgres:xxx@publicip/dbname --app your_app
