Django error in Heroku: “Please supply the ENGINE value”

Question

I read and apply \"Getting started with Django on Heroku\" tutorial but ran into problem while syncing db:

raise ImproperlyConfigured(\"settings.DATABASES is         


        

Answer 1

it is a little late ; but you just delete all default django database settings lines ; and add heroku's one.

it will work correctly

** edit ** or simply you can use `socket.gethostname().

example :

if socket.gethostname() == 'xx':
    DATABASE_SETTINGS ={ }

elif socket.gethostname() == 'xxx':
    another database settings...

so you can run your project under multiple hosts.
