Try to connect my django project with MySQL using wamp server i am facing error
"Django.db.utils.NotsupportedError"
I am tried older version of django
To solve this error, but it seems also
Same error.
To connect Django to a MySQL database, you will need to install a MySQL database connector. The most common connector is mysql-connector-python, which you can install using pip:
pip install mysql-connector-python
Once the connector is installed, you will need to update your Django settings to use the connector and specify the connection parameters for your MySQL database. The settings will typically look like this:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'mysql.connector.django',
'NAME': 'mydatabase',
'USER': 'myuser',
'PASSWORD': 'mypassword',
'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
'PORT': '3306',
}
}
You will need to replace the NAME, USER, PASSWORD, HOST, and PORT values with the appropriate values for your MySQL database.
Once you have configured your settings, you can run the migrate command to create the necessary database tables:
python manage.py migrate
This will create the tables in your MySQL database that are needed by Django. You should now be able to use your MySQL database with Django.
I install django 2.2.10 and python 3.8 and psycopg2 2.8.4 but when i try migration with command (python manage.py migrate) confront this error:
raise ImproperlyConfigured("Error loading psycopg2 module: %s" % e)
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading psycopg2 module: No module named 'psycopg2'
psycopg2 in 32-bit. i try any solution that available in stackoverflow but this error don't dissolve
databases in settings.py:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
'NAME': 'postgres',
'USER': 'seyyedh',
'PASSWORD' : '123456',
'HOST':'localhost',
'PORT' : '5432',
}
}
Edit:
Sorry, I didn't read your config.
If you are using Postgresql, your Engine-Setting should be 'django.db.backends.postgresql', not 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2':
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql',
'NAME': 'postgres',
'USER': 'seyyedh',
'PASSWORD' : '123456',
'HOST':'localhost',
'PORT' : '5432',
}
}
as seen here. You probably shouldn't use the initial postgres DB (as referenced in "NAME"), but create a new database for your django project.
Initial answer:
Are you by chance using another python environment than the one configured for your project?
E.g., if you created a virtual environment for you project and have that configured for running the application etc. in your IDE, but for the migration call you are using the python system environment.
If you open the interactive shell for the python environment you are using for migration, and type:
help('modules')
psycopg2 has to be listed!
pip install psycopg2-binary
(or)
pip install psycopg2 for <2.8 psycopg2 versions
(or)
sudo apt-get install python-psycopg2
I understand that psycopg2 installed on another virtual env while main virtual env running
so I unistalled that virtual env and error solved
I am creating a Django project based on PostGreSql on Windows OS.
I could successfully download Postgresql (32bits) and psycopg2. I work on a 32 bit Python2.7.9 , and my Postgresql - 9.3.7 32-bits.
import psycopg2 throws NO error.
I could find a psycopg2 folder in Python27\Lib\site-packages
My settings.py contains the following:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
'NAME': 'testdb' ,
'USER': 'postgres',
'PASSWORD': 'paggu',
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': '5432',
}
}
But I still get the below error when I try to execute the command- python manage.py runserver or python manage.py syncdb
raise ImproperlyConfigured("Error loading psycopg2 module: %s" % e)
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading psycopg2 module: DLL
load failed: The specified module could not be found.
I am not sure if I missed on anything.
I looked up on the other Stack Overflow posts regarding this problem but didn't seem to find any solution.
You may need to actually install psycopg2. To find out run the following in a Windows command prompt:
C:\path\to\project\> python
Then:
>>> help("modules")
If psycopg2 is not in the list, do the following:
Download: psycopg2-2.6.2.win32-py2.7-pg9.5.3-release.exe from HERE, then run the following in a Windows command prompt:
C:\path\to\project> easy_install /path/to/psycopg2-2.6.2.win32-py2.7-pg9.5.3-release.exe
I would like to use the PostGreSQL database with Django.
I first installed the driver psycopg2 with pip and virtualenv:
$ PATH=$PATH:/Library/PostgreSQL/9.3/bin/
$ pip install psycopg2
[...]
Successfully installed psycopg2
Cleaning up...

I have done the following configuration in Django:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',
'NAME': 'my_db',
'USER': 'django',
'PASSWORD': 'xx',
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': '5432',
}
}
But when I try to create the schema with syncdb I have the following error:
$ python manage.py syncdb
raise ImproperlyConfigured("Error loading psycopg2 module: %s" % e)
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading psycopg2 module: dlopen([...]/Code/env/dev/lib/python2.7/site-packages/psycopg2/_psycopg.so, 2): Library not loaded: libssl.1.0.0.dylib
Referenced from: [...]Code/env/dev/lib/python2.7/site-packages/psycopg2/_psycopg.so
Reason: image not found
Do you know why the libssl is not loaded and how can I fix this issue?
Thank you
I want to move away from PHP a little and learn Python. In order to do web development with Python I'll need a framework to help with templating and other things.
I have a non-production server that I use to test all of web development stuff on. It is a Debian 7.1 LAMP stack that runs MariaDB instead of the common MySQL-server package.
Yesterday I installed Django and created my first project called firstweb. I have not changed any settings yet.
Here is my first big piece of confusion. In the tutorial I followed the guy installed Django, started his first project, restarted Apache, and Django just worked from then on. He went to his browser and went to the Django default page with no problems.
Me however, I have to cd into my firstweb folder and run
python manage.py runserver myip:port
And it works. No problem. But I'm wondering if it is supposed to work like this, and if this will cause problems down the line?
My second question is that I want to set it up so it uses my MySQL database. I go into my settings.py under /firstweb/firstweb and I see ENGINE and NAME but I'm not sure what to put here.
And then in the USER, PASSWORD, and HOST areas is this my database and its credentials? If I am using localhost can I just put localhost in the HOST area?
MySQL support is simple to add. In your DATABASES dictionary, you will have an entry like this:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'DB_NAME',
'USER': 'DB_USER',
'PASSWORD': 'DB_PASSWORD',
'HOST': 'localhost', # Or an IP Address that your DB is hosted on
'PORT': '3306',
}
}
You also have the option of utilizing MySQL option files, as of Django 1.7. You can accomplish this by setting your DATABASES array like so:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'OPTIONS': {
'read_default_file': '/path/to/my.cnf',
},
}
}
You also need to create the /path/to/my.cnf file with similar settings from above
[client]
database = DB_NAME
host = localhost
user = DB_USER
password = DB_PASSWORD
default-character-set = utf8
With this new method of connecting in Django 1.7, it is important to know the order connections are established:
1. OPTIONS.
2. NAME, USER, PASSWORD, HOST, PORT
3. MySQL option files.
In other words, if you set the name of the database in OPTIONS, this will take precedence over NAME, which would override anything in a MySQL option file.
If you are just testing your application on your local machine, you can use
python manage.py runserver
Adding the ip:port argument allows machines other than your own to access your development application. Once you are ready to deploy your application, I recommend taking a look at the chapter on Deploying Django on the djangobook
Mysql default character set is often not utf-8, therefore make sure to create your database using this sql:
CREATE DATABASE mydatabase CHARACTER SET utf8 COLLATE utf8_bin
If you are using Oracle's MySQL connector your ENGINE line should look like this:
'ENGINE': 'mysql.connector.django',
Note that you will first need to install mysql on your OS.
brew install mysql (MacOS)
Also, the mysql client package has changed for python 3 (MySQL-Client works only for python 2)
pip3 install mysqlclient
To the very first please run the below commands to install python dependencies otherwise python runserver command will throw error.
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
sudo pip install MySQL-python
Then configure the settings.py file as defined by #Andy and at the last execute :
python manage.py runserver
Have fun..!!
If you are using python3.x then Run below command
pip install mysqlclient
Then change setting.py like
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'DB',
'USER': 'username',
'PASSWORD': 'passwd',
}
}
As all said above, you can easily install xampp first from https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html
Then follow the instructions as:
Install and run xampp from http://www.unixmen.com/install-xampp-stack-ubuntu-14-04/, then start Apache Web Server and MySQL Database from the GUI.
You can configure your web server as you want but by default web server is at http://localhost:80 and database at port 3306, and PhpMyadmin at http://localhost/phpmyadmin/
From here you can see your databases and access them using very friendly GUI.
Create any database which you want to use on your Django Project.
Edit your settings.py file like:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'DB_NAME',
'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
'PORT': '3306',
'USER': 'root',
'PASSWORD': '',
}}
Install the following packages in the virtualenv (if you're using django on virtualenv, which is more preferred):
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
pip install MySQL-python
That's it!! you have configured Django with MySQL in a very easy way.
Now run your Django project:
python manage.py migrate
python manage.py runserver
Actually, there are many issues with different environments, python versions, so on. You might also need to install python dev files, so to 'brute-force' the installation I would run all of these:
sudo apt-get install python-dev python3-dev
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
pip install MySQL-python
pip install pymysql
pip install mysqlclient
You should be good to go with the accepted answer. And can remove the unnecessary packages if that's important to you.
Run these commands
sudo apt-get install python-dev python3-dev
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
pip install MySQL-python
pip install pymysql
pip install mysqlclient
Then configure settings.py like
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'django_db',
'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
'PORT': '3306',
'USER': 'root',
'PASSWORD': '123456',
}
}
Enjoy mysql connection
Install mysqlclient
sudo pip3 install mysqlclient
if you get error:
Command "python setup.py egg_info" failed with error code 1 in
/tmp/pip-install-dbljg4tx/mysqlclient/
then:
1. sudo apt install libmysqlclient-dev python-mysqldb
2. sudo pip3 install mysqlclient
Modify settings.py
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'website',
'USER': 'root',
'PASSWORD': '',
'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
'PORT': '3306',
'OPTION': {'init_command':"SET sql_mode='STRICT_TRANS_TABLE',"},
}
}
Andy's answer helps but if you have concern on exposing your database password in your django setting, I suggest to follow django official configuration on mysql connection: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.7/ref/databases/
Quoted here as:
# settings.py
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'OPTIONS': {
'read_default_file': '/path/to/my.cnf',
},
}
}
# my.cnf
[client]
database = NAME
user = USER
password = PASSWORD
default-character-set = utf8
To replace 'HOST': '127.0.0.1' in setting, simply add it in my.cnf:
# my.cnf
[client]
database = NAME
host = HOST NAME or IP
user = USER
password = PASSWORD
default-character-set = utf8
Another OPTION that is useful, is to set your storage engine for django, you might want it in your setting.py:
'OPTIONS': {
'init_command': 'SET storage_engine=INNODB',
}
settings.py
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'django',
'USER': 'root',
'PASSWORD': '*****',
'HOST': '***.***.***.***',
'PORT': '3306',
'OPTIONS': {
'autocommit': True,
},
}
}
then:
python manage.py migrate
if success will generate theses tables:
auth_group
auth_group_permissions
auth_permission
auth_user
auth_user_groups
auth_user_user_permissions
django_admin_log
django_content_type
django_migrations
django_session
and u will can use mysql.
this is a showcase example ,test on Django version 1.11.5:
Django-pool-showcase
Follow the given steps in order to setup it up to use MySQL database:
1) Install MySQL Database Connector :
sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev
2) Install the mysqlclient library :
pip install mysqlclient
3) Install MySQL server, with the following command :
sudo apt-get install mysql-server
4) Create the Database :
i) Verify that the MySQL service is running:
systemctl status mysql.service
ii) Log in with your MySQL credentials using the following command where -u is the flag for declaring your username and -p is the flag that tells MySQL that this user requires a password :
mysql -u db_user -p
iii) CREATE DATABASE db_name;
iv) Exit MySQL server, press CTRL + D.
5) Add the MySQL Database Connection to your Application:
i) Navigate to the settings.py file and replace the current DATABASES lines with the following:
# Database
# https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/2.0/ref/settings/#databases
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'OPTIONS': {
'read_default_file': '/etc/mysql/my.cnf',
},
}
}
...
ii) Next, let’s edit the config file so that it has your MySQL credentials. Use vi as sudo to edit the file and add the following information:
sudo vi /etc/mysql/my.cnf
database = db_name
user = db_user
password = db_password
default-character-set = utf8
6) Once the file has been edited, we need to restart MySQL for the changes to take effect :
systemctl daemon-reload
systemctl restart mysql
7) Test MySQL Connection to Application:
python manage.py runserver your-server-ip:8000
This is a considerably old question but if anyone is working on any latest versions of python and django you can follow the following steps
Note - Versions
Python version - 3.9.5
Django version - 3.2.4
MySQL server version - 5.7
After installing django, run the following command
pip install mysqlclient
In my IDE if I do pip list this is the list of Packages and Versions
Package Version
----------- -------
asgiref 3.3.4
Django 3.2.4
mysqlclient 2.0.3
pip 21.1.2
pytz 2021.1
setuptools 57.0.0
sqlparse 0.4.1
Now, make sure you already have created the Database schema you are going to use.
In the settings.py file of your django project under DATABASES change
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
'NAME': BASE_DIR / 'db.sqlite3',
}
}
to
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'DB_NAME',
'USER': 'DB_USER',
'PASSWORD': 'DB_PASSWORD',
'HOST': 'localhost', # Or an IP Address that your DB is hosted on
'PORT': '3306',
}
}
You should be able to run both
python manage.py makemigrations
and
python manage.py migrate
You must create a MySQL database first. Then go to settings.py file and edit the 'DATABASES' dictionary with your MySQL credentials:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'YOUR_DATABASE_NAME',
'USER': 'YOUR_MYSQL_USER',
'PASSWORD': 'YOUR_MYSQL_PASS',
'HOST': 'localhost', # Or an IP that your DB is hosted on
'PORT': '3306',
}
}
Here is a complete installation guide for setting up Django to use MySQL on a virtualenv:
