Document how to specify local MySQL db

[trodicaro]

DATABASES['default'] = dj_database_url.config(default="mysql://myname:mypass@localhost:3306/db_name") works.

@trodicaro did you just remove the dict DATABASES = { } ?

in your settings.py you just added this line?

DATABASES['default'] = dj_database_url.config(default="mysql://myname:mypass@localhost:3306/db_name")

I just figure it out doing this:

settings.py

DATABASES = { 'default': dj_database_url.config( default=config('DATABASE_URL') ) }

.env

DATABASE_URL= "mysql://myuser:mypass@my_host:3306/my_db_name"

=)
