How do I fix this Django in azure deployment error “Exception Type: OperationalError Exception Value: no such table?"

Question

I have this Django app running on my computer, as a local server and I deployed it to an azure server. It works fine locally however when it runs on the azure server gives me this error.

Request Method: POST
Request URL:    http://runnify.azurewebsites.net/route/
Django Version: 3.0.5
Exception Type: OperationalError
Exception Value:    
no such table: pages_routerequest
Exception Location: /antenv/lib/python3.7/site-packages/django/db/backends/sqlite3/base.py in execute, line 396
Python Executable:  /opt/python/3.7.7/bin/python3.7
Python Version: 3.7.7
Python Path:

Server time:    Mon, 7 Sep 2020 11:21:54 +0000

I can't understand what is wrong, since I am not using a pages_routerequest anywhere. in my models.py I have:

from django.db import models
from django.contrib.postgres.fields import JSONField

class Coordinates(models.Model):
    """Model representing a route coordinate generated (e.g. Science Fiction, Non Fiction)."""
    coordinates = JSONField()

    def __str__(self):
        """String for representing the Coordinates objects"""
        return self.coordinates

class RouteRequest(models.Model):
    running_distance = models.FloatField()
    user_location = models.CharField(max_length=8000)

EDIT: I have also applied makemigrations and migrate, and the bd was successfully created.

FIX: I was required to have a database in azure directly and I didn't know. For now just took the .save() part out and it worked

Answer 1

You should commit migrations on production server

python3 manage.py makemigrations  # Optional if you control migrations on dev
python3 manage.py migrate

Answer 2

From first impression it seems you have missed to create them "db":

    python manage.py migrate
    python manage.py makemigrations REPLACE-WITH-YOUR-PROJECT-NAME-HERE
    python manage.py migrate
