Connecting Django to PostgreSQL database (GeoDjango)

I am having issues connecting to my Postgresql database with my Django website. My database is set up at Port 5434 as there is already an existing database in the default 5432 port.
This is the error I am getting

This is my settings.py file in django
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.contrib.gis.db.backends.postgis',
'NAME': 'database_name',
'USER': 'postgres',
'PASSWORD': '******',
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': '5434',
}
}
Hi, I figured it out. Really stupid mistake. I add two of the Database= {} configuration twice, once at the top of the file and once i the bottom and for got to delete it lol.

This issue is generated for lack of permission.You should give the permission in pg_hba file.
Log into your db user and then play the command psql. The sequensial coammnd is given bellow.
sudo su - postgres
psql
show hba_file;
In my case the output is /var/lib/postgresql/data/pg_hba.conf. Rember this location
\q
ctrl + d # for loging out from postgres user
sudo vim /var/lib/postgresql/data/pg_hba.conf #you can use your prefer text editor
You need to change the file as shown bellow. Just change all method to trust.

How to connect AWS RDS MySQL from Django app from local

SOLVED: Issue was using USERNAME, not USER.
I am able to connect to the RDS instance from both MySQL Workbench and the mysql CLI command, so it is not the credentials that are the issue. I am trying to run python manage.py migrate but I get the following output:

I've set the AWS Security Group and VPC Security Group with
All traffic | All | All | 0.0.0.0/0
I have the following in my settings.py
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'playercomp',
'USERNAME': 'xxx',
'PASSWORD': 'xxx',
'HOST': 'xxx.xxx.us-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com',
'PORT': '3306',
}
}
And this at the beginning of my manage.py
#!/usr/bin/env python
try:
import pymysql
pymysql.install_as_MySQLdb()
except ImportError:
print "Failed to import pymysql"
I'm just very confused since I can connect through mysql CLI, MySQL Workbench, and even through short python scripts like below.
connection = pymysql.connect(host='xxx.xx.us-west-2.rds.amazonaws.com',
user='xxx',
password='xxx',
db='playercomp',
charset='utf8mb4',
cursorclass=pymysql.cursors.DictCursor)

Solution was to change USERNAME to USER.

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.

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.

You need to change 'User' to 'USER' in your DATABASES settings.

Django 1.8 postgresql database settings error while deploying on heroku

All the steps seem to be working fine but when I try to run heroku run python manage.py migrate it gives me an error saying Is the server running on host "127.0.0.1" and accepting TCP/IP connections on port 5432?. I can't figure this part out. Do I need to change the settings of my postgresql database? But I have already existing data on my postgresql database.How will they get migrated into heroku if I change my database settings.

django.db.utils.OperationalError: could not connect to server: Connection refused
Is the server running on host "127.0.0.1" and accepting
TCP/IP connections on port 5432?

The db server isn't running on the local machine on Heroku, of course. You should follow the documentation and use the dj-database-url library to set the db location automatically from the environment.
