django.db.utils.OperationalError：fe_sendauth：迁移 django 应用程序时未提供密码

Question

I'm a beginner with Django working on an open source project, which has been very challenging since it only gives build instructions for Mac, and not Linux. So, on my Ubuntu server, I've managed to install all the packages and fix a few initial bugs, but now, when I do python manage.py migrate , I'm stuck with this error: django.db.utils.OperationalError: fe_sendauth: no password supplied

I'm totally stuck here: I'm having a tough time understanding the error message, and other solutions aren't much help. Other solutions indicate that you have to change the DATABASES setting in the settings.py, but the setting has no PASSWORD attribute and it's only linked to sqlite:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
        'NAME': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'db.sqlite3'),
    }
}
DATABASES['default'] = dj_database_url.config()

The error doesn't trace back to any specific lines of code so I'm guessing its more related to psycopg2 or django than the code itself, but I'm not sure how to go about fixing it. I'm using Python 2.7.17 and Ubuntu 18.04.5. Here's the full error message:

    conn = _connect(dsn, connection_factory=connection_factory, **kwasync)
django.db.utils.OperationalError: fe_sendauth: no password supplied

Again, I'm very new to Django and Postgres, so I may be missing something obvious. It's equally likely that the code just doesn't work on Linux or that there's some unfixed bug in it. Any help would be appreciated.

Answer 1

As Vineet pointed out, the DATABASES['default'] = dj_database_url.config() line was overwriting the configuration, and as a result the 'PASSWORD' and other attributes existed and were blank. I added this line after it:

del DATABASES['default']['PASSWORD'], DATABASES['default']['HOST'], DATABASES['default']['PORT']

and the problem has been solved.
