Django ignores test database settings

I have an app deployed on pythonanywhere which runs fine. Problem is that when I want to run test django, my test database settings is completely ignored.
Each time I run test I get the following message.though.
Creating test database for alias 'default'...
Got an error creating the test database: (1044, "Access denied for user 'funnshopp'#'%' to database 'test_funnshopp$funn'")
Database name for the app is funnshopp$funn. It can be seen that django somehow always tries to create the test database by appending test_ to the database name. Never minding what I have in DATABASES settings
Below is my full settings file ( Test runs fine on my PC and I am using Django 2.0, though I started the project with Django 1.11)
"""

This is a common and correct behavior. Django when testing will always try to create new database, and you should never try to test you application on your live/production database.
Your tests should be constructed in a way, where you create your objects and then test their behavior. You are using postgres, on heroku and mysql on development server. If you want to use this databases to test you app, you have to add django user to you postgres/mysql with rights to create and delete databases/tables.
You can also avoid this by adding this setting to your settings.py (this is what I like to do when I do not use any other extensions and sqlite3 database is just enough. I run my tests by typing python manage.py test
if any([arg in sys.argv for arg in ['jenkins', 'test']]):
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
'NAME': 'mydatabase',
}
}

I think you should change how you format your settings.py, you must not put if conditions inside it but use different settings based on the environment you are working on!
I recommend you to read this tutorial.
When you have the proper layout you can change the database in the different settings file ;)!

I solved the problem by reorganizing my settings file according to the pattern suggested here Recommended Django Project Layout.
Now my test runs fine on pythonanywhere.
Btw, I created a gist here which deals with the problems of virtual environments and layouts and how to handle virtual environment variables.

As you know, when you are running tests, Django isolates the changes made to the database. That is why it tries to create a database which is denied by the DB engine. You can either:
Create a database, grant access to the user and use --keepdb to run the tests
Or grant access to the DB user to create a database. Something like:
ALTER USER username CREATEDB;

How to integrate djangobb in an existing project?

wget https://bitbucket.org/slav0nic/djangobb_project/get/tip.tar.gz
tar zxvf tip.tar.gz
cd slav0nic-djangobb_project-tip/
pip install -r requirements.txt
cd basic_project/
touch local_settings.py
#set DATABASE
./manage.py syncdb --all
./manage.py collectstatic
./manage.py runserver
This is the installation guidelines mentioned on djangobb support. I'm stuck after installing the requirements.txt. How do I integrate djangobb to my existing project. Django noob here hence the need of help.

Here you can find my guide writen 2 months ago. For now I see that this guide can be few steps less, but it does not change the result :) so I don't see big reason to re-write it. If you have any question once the guide is read, pls ask.
Currently DjangoBB consist from 2 Git pieces:
3 branches for App itself (stable, default and bootstrap3)
2 branches for Project (default and dimka665/*********)
In this tutorial we are going to use bolded versions of DjangoBB.
1) stable/default/botstrap3 — means DjangoBB_Forum as App itself.
Stable branch has the latest version of code so lets use it.
Source
Zip archive
2) default — Django's skeleton project structure with all settings (urls.py, settings.py, templates, etc) needed to launch 'DjangoBB_Forum app'. This is JUST the project skeleton (similiar to ./manage.py startproject) and here DjangoBB_Forum as App is NOT included.
Source
Zip archive
Lets download both archives, extract them and for convenience rename 2 folders that we've got (both have original name 'slav0nic-djangobb-****) to DjangoBB_App for 'stable' App's branch and to DjangoBB_Project for 'default' Project's branch. (We age going to combine files\datas of both archives)
Instalation.
For today (19.09.2015) the latest version of Django is 1.8.4. This tutorial also is 100% applicable for 1.8.2 and 1.8.3. I've not tested earlier versions of Django.
Now DjangoBB_Forum requirements look like this:
Django>=1.6,<1.9 (the actual latest stable version is 1.8.4)
django-haystack>=2.1.0,<2.4 (actual version for the time of this
tutorial is 2.4)
Pillow>=2.1.0 (actual version is 2.9.0)
postmarkup (actual version is 1.2.2)
pygments (actual version is 2.0.2)
pytz>=2015.4 (this is actual version)
django-pagination-py3==1.1.1 (this actual version)
django-allauth (actual version is 0.23.0)
django-messages (actual version is 0.5.1)
django-nocaptcha-recaptcha (actual version is 0.0.18)
whoosh (actual version is 2.7.0)
The biggest problem here with integration DjangoBB_Forum to existing project is settings, because they are different from user to user. I show you my structure as example, prepared urls.py and settings.py to let you to integrate new settings to your project easily with all necessary explanations. Before to use settings.py below, you need to change DATABASES section there with your DB settings. Also much more below you will see 2nd screen with labels for folders\files which explain you what to change in settings.py in, because you have for sure another absolute paths and possibly another relative paths.
Also want to mention, that on the screeens you will see instead of 'settings/settings.py' file, 3 other files (default_settings.py, development.py, production.py). In the manual, saying 'settings.py' I mean YOUR 'settings.py' file whatever it calls, instead of files on the screen.
Initial structure of our project which is ready to accept djangobb_forum (app_shows_and_times and app_places are used just to make feeling of the existing project to which we add djangobb_forum):

(0) Lets imagine that we have project_name/src folder somewhere in VirtualEnvironment (should be already installed (properly built-in feature of Python since v3.4)), which we are going to use as the project folder.
Copy all the entire content from
djangobb_project/basic_project/media/*
to
/bugaga.com/media/
Copy all the entire content from
djangobb_project/basic_project/templates/*
to
/bugaga.com/src/templates/
Copy
djangobb_project/basic_project/forms.py
to
/bugaga.com/bugaga.com/src/settings/
Copy from
djangobb_app/ the next stuff:
'djangobb_forum' folder
'requirements.txt' file
'requirements_optional.txt' file
to
/bugaga.com/bugaga.com/src/
Now you should have the next structure (new stuff marked by black arrows)
activate your virtenv (see step #0)
cd to '/bugaga.com/bugaga.com/src/' (here is my path to my project)
run 'pip install -r requirements.txt' (pip should be also installed long time ago)
run 'pip install -r requirements_optional.txt'
run 'pip install django-nocaptcha-recaptcha'
run 'pip install whoosh'
in '/bugaga.com/bugaga.com/src/' create a file 'secret.txt' and put there any random string you like, for example 'asd423llkmasdi2'
Now try to './manage.py runsever' and open http://127.0.0.1:8000/forum/. If you get error like:
settings.DATABASES is improperly configured. Please supply the ENGINE value. Check settings documentation for more details.
This means you need to properly set up your DataBase in '/bugaga.com/bugaga.com/src/settings/settings.py'.
From the box (means by default) we have the next settings for DB:
.
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
'NAME': '', # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
'USER': '', # Not used with sqlite3.
'PASSWORD': '', # Not used with sqlite3.
'HOST': '', # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
'PORT': '', # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.
}
}
As I use PostgreSQL, I can provide DB template for PostgreSQL:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
'NAME': 'name_of_db',
'USER': 'login_to_db',
'PASSWORD': 'pass_to_db',
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': '',
}
}
If you did not see the error above, then you should see the error below:
django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: relation "djangobb_forum_forum" does not exist
LINE 1: ...user"."is_active", "auth_user"."date_joined" FROM "djangobb_…
:)
run './manage.py migrate'
If you got error:
django.db.utils.ProgrammingError: relation "auth_user" does not exist
-> run './manage.py migrate auth'
If you got error:
psycopg2.ProgrammingError: relation "django_site" does not exist
LINE 1: SELECT (1) AS "a" FROM "django_site" LIMIT 1
-> run './manage.py migrate sites'
run './manage.py migrate' (it migrates the rest apps all together so you dont need to specify the name each of them).
run './manage.py makemigrations'
Again run './manage.py migrate'
Before you can open in the browser your forum, you need to have an account ('./manage.py createsuperuser') othewise you will get errors:
in browser: User matching query does not exist.
in console: django.contrib.auth.models.DoesNotExist: User matching query does not exist.
Also to avoid error:
ImportError: No module named 'allauth.account.context_processors'
-> open 'bugaga.com/bugaga.com/src/settings/settings.py' and in the TEMPLATE_CONTEXT_PROCESSORS section comment (by #) 2 lines like this:
# 'allauth.account.context_processors.account',
# 'allauth.socialaccount.context_processors.socialaccount',
Now we can open our forum but there is 1 remained issue with languages. To fix it, cd to '/src/djangobb_forum/' and run 'django-admin compilemessages'
Now you can run './manage.py runserver' and welcome to DjangoBB_Forum http://127.0.0.1:8000/forum/

Django Admin Page missing CSS in IIS

I am getting a similar error to this post, but it only happens when I go to the website I set up in IIS 2012R2.
I am following this tutorial to start a web app, and I used this video to set up Django with IIS. I successfully set up the Django using IIS, but I a missing the CSS on the admin page.
Note that the admin page displays the CSS items if I run the page using runserver command.
python manage.py runserver
But if I run it through http://127.0.0.1:8003/admin/ in IE (setup through IIS), I get the picture shown below. I tried this in Chrome, and it gave me same results.
Do I need configure my wfastcgi.py file to show CSS? In the video tutorial, the author talks about a static folder in IIS for JPEGS, Javascript...do I need to configure this?
I am using Django 1.8.4 and Python 3.4.
This is my current configuration:

You should set your STATICFILES_DIRS settings in settings.py, to map to your static folder, where CSS, JS and images are stored.
STATIC_URL = 'http://www.example.com/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
)
Also if you run 'manage.py collectstatic' you should define
STATIC_ROOT = "/path/to/static/destination/folder/"
This is the best way to serve static files.
Reference for STATIC settings: Django Documentation

I was able to find an answer with the help of a colleague.
The answer is highlighted here: Link
If you follow the above solution, please keep in mind the following (which is what the above person mentioned):
The Static folder where you keep all the CSS, jpegs, etc files is not the same as the static folder they are referring to in the solution
Make sure you run the command collectstatic to compile all the static files from the STATIC_URL folder to the STATIC_ROOT folder
When you run the collectstatic it will compile the Admin static files as well

To anwer your specific problem, i thing your STATICFILES_DIRS key is missing.
This appear to be your debug config file, so I suppose you want to serve your files with django built-in developement web server (ie: doing "manage.py runserver 8000")
1. DEBUG=True|False
You must know that django should not be used to serve files in production and will refuse to do so.
If you have "DEBUG=False", django will refuse to serve static files by default.
You have to use another server (most people use nginx, or an online cloud service, like cloudfront for this)
For this there is a 2 step process
1. You need to collect static files
2. Set up another server to serve them
When developping this is not convenient, so django look into STATICFILES_DIRS for you, and serve static files
2. Collecting files
A django website is made of multiple applications (see "INSTALLED_APPS" key in your config).
Each one of them may declare static files, all in different directories in your filesystem.
For your files to be properly served, you need them to be grouped in a single local directory, or a single remote server, hence the "./manage.py collectstatic".
This command will scan every directory listed in STATICFILES_DIRS and every "static" directory in loaded applications, and then copy files to the place you want with STATICFILES_STORAGE and STATIC_ROOT)
3. Config keys
# Tells django where your static files are
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '../static/generated'),
os.path.join(os.path.dirname(__file__), '../static/fixed'),
)
# Only for developpement
# Tells to django build in web server where to host your files ("http://localhost/static")
STATIC_URL = '/static/'
# for production, tell django how do {% static %} template tags and "./manage collectstatic" behave (collect files to a single directory, upload them to a CDN, etc)
#
STATICFILES_STORAGE = 'django.contrib.staticfiles.storage.StaticFilesStorage'
# Only for production when using default value for STATICFILES_STORAGE
# Tell django where to collect files when you run "./manage.py collectstatic".
# This is only used if you host your static files in the same machine as the rest of your application
STATIC_ROOT = '/var/www/static.mydomain.com/'

Try to add STATICFILES_FINDERS and STATICFILES_STORAGE (for deployment) to your settings file.
This will make your life much easier in Django: you put a static folder in each of your apps for when you develop, and when you deploy, you run the collect_static command on your project and all the statics from all the apps will be gathered in the folder specified in the STATICFILES_STORAGE settings.
In the deployment environment, the STATICFILES_STORAGE should be served by the web server.

The code in that linked article has django_mongodb_engine.mongodb for the ENGINE setting.
You'll also need django-nonrel for this to work.

make sure your depended packages is installed correctly.
you can follow installation to fix your problem.

you can remove the default django installation by
sudo pip uninstall django
and reinstalled from Django fork(https://github.com/django-nonrel/django) with support for NoSQL databases by
sudo pip install git+https://github.com/django-nonrel/django
and remove/comment MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES from setting.py
