First off, I am a newbie to django, python and postgres - so I suspect I am
missing something obvious, but I am stumped. Any ideas will be gratefully
accepted...
I get the popular "Improperly configured settings.DATABASES" error message
when I run syncdb on my test app. I am running:
django 1.4.3
postgres 9.2
MAC OS 10.6.8
I have verified that it is picking up the right settings.py file (the one
in the app subdirectory) so I assume there is either something wrong with
the settings I have entered or something wrong with postgres. How does one
debug this??
I can connect to my database via psql, but nothing I have tried seems to
work and there seems to be very little I can do to actually debug what the
problem is...when the syncdb doesn't work, how do you debug to figure out
what exactly isn't working???
My settings.py file:
