Exception Value: 'AnonymousUser' object is not iterable - django

Question

I'm currently trying to make a dating app, my first project from scratch. I downloaded a sample project to use as a reference and I want to fire it up on my local server and see what the actual website looks like so I can play around with it and understand the code better. However, after running downloading it through a zip file and then trying to run it on buy local server I get. When I go to the site, I get;
Exception Value:
'AnonymousUser' object is not iterable
Here is a link to the project and also settings.py

Answer 1

'DATABASE_URL' is not defined in settings.py, default is fetched from user variable which i dont think you have configureddefault=os.environ['DATABASE_URL'])
Since he hasn't given you the DBConfigration details, you cannot fire it up and tinker with it. What u can do see is to create a new project and copy the views, models, urls.py and start it fresh
