connecting to database with mysql

django-db.sh

# First you will need to install python drivers for mysql
sudo apt-get install python-mysqldb

# Now go to your settings.py, enter the credentials you setup during the database creation process of the tutorial

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
        'NAME': 'testdb',# Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
        'USER': 'testuser',                      # Not used with sqlite3.
        'PASSWORD': 'password',                  # Not used with sqlite3.
        'HOST': '',                      # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
        'PORT': '',                      # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.
    }
}

# you can now run syncdb from the manage.py and it should connect and create the appropriate tables for you! :)
