Django manage.py migrate error

Question

So I am currently in a virtual environment, and when I typed the command line:

python manage.py migrate

and I encounter this problem:

My current Django version 2.0.3. I checked the python pass and I have the proper path. Please help, thank you!

Answer 1

You're trying to retrieve POSTGRES_POST , in the os.environ but it doesn't exist.
int() can't convert NoneType .

If it's possible that the key does not exist in your environment.
you can set a default value :

'PORT': int(os.getenv('POSTGRES_PORT',5432))

The second argument is the default port in case that key doesn't exist in os.environ

Answer 2

It looks like you use PostgreSQL as a database system, but Django has trouble finding the port you use for the PostgreSQL database.

You can set the parameter for the command locally executing the migrations with:

 python manage.py migrate

or another port if you configured PostgreSQL in a different way (the default port for a PostgreSQL server is 5432, but you can of course have picked a different one yourself).
