Unable to connect to Django with oracle ebs database - django

Question

I'm trying to build my first web application using Django.
I'm actually referring to Using Python With Oracle Database 11g (under the section 'Using the Django Framework')
however while trying to execute the command python manage.py runserver i'm getting an error
Steps followed
django-admin.py startproject myproj
cd myproj
python manage.py startapp myapp
Once the above commands were executed successfully, the next step was to modify the connection settings to allow the application to connect to the database in the file myproj/settings.py.
Here i updated the details with our database details
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.oracle',
'NAME': '<our ebs database name>',
'USER': <username>,
'PASSWORD': <password>,
}
}
Also added the project under the INSTALLED_APPS to associate the application with the project:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'myproj.myapp'
]
In a terminal window when i try to execute the below command from myproj directory:
python manage.py runserver
I'm getting the below error message
C:\Users\xxx\Desktop\Python files\myproj>python manage.py runserver

During handling of the above exception, another exception occurred:

Answer 1

I am a novice of Django.I think the problem is myproj.myapp. You don't need the project name, just add 'myapp', to INSTALLED_APPS.Hope it will be helpful.

Answer 2

From the "Writing your first Django app, part 2: Activating models" tutorial:
To include the app in our project, we need to add a reference to its configuration class in the INSTALLED_APPS setting. The PollsConfig class is in the polls/apps.py file, so its dotted path is 'polls.apps.PollsConfig'. Edit the mysite/settings.py file and add that dotted path to the INSTALLED_APPS setting. It’ll look like this:
mysite/settings.py¶
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'polls.apps.PollsConfig',
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
]
So look in myproj/apps.py and see what the name of the class is and your INSTALLED_APP should be something like:
INSTALLED_APPS = [
'django.contrib.admin',
'django.contrib.auth',
'django.contrib.contenttypes',
'django.contrib.sessions',
'django.contrib.messages',
'django.contrib.staticfiles',
'myproj.apps.MyprojConfig'
]
