geodjango

I'm attempting to run heroku run python manage.py syncdb on my GeoDjango app on Heroku, but I get the following error: AttributeError: 'DatabaseOperations' object has no attribute 'geo_db_type' All of my research has yielded the same solution: make sure to use django.contrib.gis.db.backends.postgis as the database engine. Funny thing is that I'm already doing this (and I also have django.contrib.gis in INSTALLED_APPS ): settings.py DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'django.contrib.gis.db.backends.postgis', 'NAME': '...', 'HOST': '...', 'PORT': ..., 'USER': '...', 'PASSWORD': '...' } }

I've been trying to setup my windows computer such that I can have a local postgreSQL with PostGIS extension. With this installed I hope to be able to create a project with geodjango locally before putting it in the cloud. I have been working with Django for a little while now on my local machine with the SQLite DB, but since the next project will partly be based on coordinate based data I wanted to setup the right environment. Import note: I've installed mini-conda to run in a seperate environment. I do activate this environment "development" when I work though I've tried to follow most of

I have the following model: class Vacancy(models.Model): lat = models.FloatField('Latitude', blank=True) lng = models.FloatField('Longitude', blank=True) How should I make a query to sort by distance (distance is infinity)? Working on PosgreSQL, GeoDjango if it is required. cem First of all, it is better to make a point field instead of making lat and lnt separated: from django.contrib.gis.db import models location = models.PointField(null=False, blank=False, srid=4326, verbose_name="Location") Then, you can filter it like that: from django.contrib.gis.geos import * from django.contrib.gis
