How to deal with this ERROR (1049, "Unknown database '/users/ohyunjun/work/astral/mysql'")
'NAME'
is the name of your database. With MySQL, you need to manually create your database too. Let's say, if you run:
$ mysql -u root -p
mysql> CREATE DATABASE mydb;
Query OK, 1 row affected (0.02 sec)
your configuration should be:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'mydb',
'USER': 'root',
'PASSWORD': 'sp153426',
'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
'PORT': '3306',
}
}
