That was helpful James, we are nearly there. You were right the output was "DB Password:", with an empty string. I added my password as default value like:
'PASSWORD': os.environ.get('CDR_DB_PASSWORD', 'my_password_here'), but there is something really strange happening. When I use the default localhost IP as HOST I get the following error: (1045, u"Access denied for user 'cdraccess'@'localhost' (using password: YES)") When I use my actual host IP, either as default value within settings.py or as parameter running the command in the terminal, I get again the previous error: Access denied for user 'cdraccess'@'host_ip_here' (using password: NO)") > > Why is that happening? Please not that the password is printed and it is > correct. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Django users" group.
