Database creation fails #229

Closed fleimgruber closed 4 years ago

fleimgruber commented 7 years ago

I followed the install instructions and the step

python src/manage.py migrate

fails with

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: settings.DATABASES is improperly configured. Please supply the ENGINE value. Check settings documentation for more details.

I had a look and found https://github.com/OKFNat/offenewahlen-nrw17/blob/master/src/offenewahlen_nrw17/settings.py#L117. AFAICS, the $DATABASE_URL must be set prior to the migrate command. What is the recommended way to set up the local database?

on my ubuntu 16.04 it works like this: instead of DATABASENAME fill in your self-created postgresql database.

export DATABASE_URL=postgres:///DATABASENAME

but i will fix this in the documentation, cause we already had this issue several times.

Yep, that works, so resolved. Leaving this issue open in case you want it as reminder for addition to documentation. Feel free to close otherwise.

The project is closed, but you can find the new one at owat_api.
