How to connect mysql in django

Here is my connection details
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'django4webo1',
'USER': 'root',
'PASSWORD': '',
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': '3306',
}
}
when i start server error will come and i also need migrations table in db
super(Connection, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs2)
django.db.utils.OperationalError: (1049, "Unknown database 'django4webo1'")

You need to create first your mysql database and then configure your settings as:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': '<your_db_name>',
'USER': '<your_username_in_db>'
'PASSWORD': '<your_password_to_access_db>',
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': '3306'
}
}
Note: Before you run the mirations and migrate you need to create a mysql database, after that run the migrations python manage.py makemigrations and then migrate the database python manage.py migrate

django - Connect an existing MySQL db to Django

I have a database that i would like to use for an app in my new Django project.
I tried adding it to the setting.py by doing the following:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'Colta_create'),
'USER': 'root',
'PASSWORD': 'toor123',
'HOST': '',
'PORT': ''
}
}
I have installed mysqlclient, but i get this error:
django.db.utils.OperationalError: (1049, "Unknown database 'colta_create'")

django.db.utils.OperationalError: (1046, 'No database selected')

Getting a strange error. I created a database in MySQL, set the database to use it. Using the right settings in my Django settings.py. But still there's an error that no database has been selected.
First I tried:
python manage.py syncdb
Got this traceback:
django.db.utils.OperationalError: (1046, 'No database selected')
settings.py:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'my_db',
'USER': 'username',
'PASSWORD': 'password',
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': '3306',
}
}
What have I missed?

Check to make sure your database my_db exists in your MySQL instance. Log into MySQL and run;
show databases;
make sure my_db exists. If it does not, run
create database my_db;

GRANT access privileges to the user mentioned in the file
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON database_name.* TO 'username'#'localhost';
You need not grant all privileges. modify accordingly.

DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'my_db',
'USER': 'username',
'PASSWORD': 'password',
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': '3306',
}
}
Here name means database
Just delete database my_db and create again
Step 1:- Use drop database databaseName
Step 2:- Create Database databaseName
Then use the migrate command
It will definitely work

Multiple Databases in Django

I've 2 DB in my one Django app. The two DB's are on the same network, ie on LAN. So, I suppose the HOST IP will be different. Wouldnt it be?
As of right now, to test my code, I've provided same HOST but different PORT.
So, my DB settings are as follow:-
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'vms_db',
'USER': 'root',
'PASSWORD': '',
'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
'PORT': '8000',
},
'users': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'aramex_vms_db',
'USER': 'root',
'PASSWORD': '',
'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
'PORT': '8080',
}
}
When I syncdb it, it returns an error saying:-
django.db.utils.OperationalError: (2003, "Can't connect to MySQL server on '127.0.0.1' (111)")
But when I use the same port, it works fine but the tables are made in default DB. I know the migrate command by default works on default DB.
1) But what if I want that there should be different tables for default and different for users, how will I do that?

If you want to migrate your database users:
$ ./manage.py migrate --database=users
As you can see here: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/topics/db/multi-db/#synchronizing-your-databases
If you want to select your database while you retrieve an entry:
#default dabatase
Author.objects.all()
#custom database
Author.objects.using('DATABASE_NAME').all()

1049, "Unknown database 'database' " django mysql can't connect

Exception Type: OperationalError at /
Exception Value: (1049, "Unknown database 'database'")
At the moment i tried this:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
'NAME': 'database', # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
'USER': 'root', # Not used with sqlite3.
'PASSWORD': '****', # Not used with sqlite3.
'HOST': '/var/lib/mysql/database/', # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
'PORT': '80', # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.
}
}
If i don't specify a host i get this error:
OperationalError at /
(2002, "Can't connect to local MySQL server through socket '/var/lib/mysql/database' (13)")
Can it be something with permissions?
thanks in advance :)

First, create the database on mysql.
Second, edit your default conection like this.
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'MY_DATABASE_NAME',
'USER': 'root',
'PASSWORD': 'MY_PASSWORD',
}
}
finally run your syncdb.
./manage.py syncdb

PORT is not the web server port, but the database port, which is 3306 for MySQL, and HOST is the database sever's IP or name. You probably want 127.0.0.1.
You should create the database beforehand with create database mydatabase charset utf8; from the mysql prompt.

Login to mysql on Terminal and create a DB
mysql -u root -p
CREATE DATABASE dbname;
USE dbname;
Then on setting.py file
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'dbname',
'USER': 'root', #Mysql username
'PASSWORD': 'password', #mysql password
'HOST': 'localhost', # Or an IP Address that your DB is hosted on
'PORT': '3306',
}
}

I dont think you can create a database by the name database. So please check the following first...
1) Have installed mysql-server and created the database with proper grant all permissions? If you have done so then check next steps
2)I dont know about Amazon, but this error was common in older versions of Linux distros from Redhat and Fedora. An option is to do this
by setting the SELINUX line in /etc/sysconfig/selinux to Disabled:
SELINUX=Disabled
