Getting error 'django.db.utils.OperationalError' when doing 'python manage.py migrate' in Django 1.9 with PostgreSQL 9.5

Question

I am new to programming and learning the web development. I have installed the -Django 1.9 -postgresql 9.5 -psycopg2(using whl file) db api for the postgresql on Windows 7 os.

I have set up the database connection in my settings.py file for my project as following.

 DATABASES = 
{ 'default': 
{ 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql', 
'NAME': 'Test', 
'User': 'postgres', 
'PASSWORD': 'admin', 
'HOST': 'localhost', 
'PORT': '5432', 
} 

but when I am running migrate I am running in to following problem. I want to connect the postgres to my django See the error below:

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

django.db.utils.OperationalError

I have checked with python script the psycopg2 is able to connect the database in postgresql but when I am running migrate from django project, its not working and getting above error.

Answer 1

Your postgres server is not started. You need to start the server first. Django does not come with postgres or any DB server. It provides connectors and ORM for these DB servers. Install postgres , create user and db as per your DATABASE settings in django, the errors should go. If you dont know how to install postgres, then google. Hope this helps.

Answer 2

您需要在 DATABASES 设置中将“用户”更改为“用户”。
