>From what i can understand, you want to test whether you can connect to database from your django project or not. If this is your need then try the following:
Go to the shell using following command: python manage.py shell On the shell, issue the following statements: from django.db import connection c=connection.cursor() I you don't get any errors, it means your DATABASE_SETTINGS are correct and you can go ahead and use your django models. If you get an error, it means there is some error in your DATABASE_SETTINGS and you need to rectify it before moving ahead.
