You have to create first the database in Postgresql, give it a name and a password, and configure it to allow connections. Then you have to configure the database settings with the database name, ip, user and password.
If you're doing the tutorial is much better to stay in sqlite3, so you'll have less noise and you could focus on the tutorial itself. 2013/3/21 Kamalakannan Srinivasan <kamalakannan.sriniva...@gmail.com> > Hi, > > I installed PostgreSQL 8.4.16 and was trying to set up the database as > specified in the tutorial under djangoproject.com.
