I am trying to deploy a django app on a shared hosting. and i am currently facing issues deploying the app especially the mysql database. I have created the mysql database on the production server. But when trying to run manage.py collectstatic command i am getting the below attached error. I am assuming it has something to do with the mysqldb library.
- I don't know how to go about this. Deploying this mysql database
- Which ip address should i put on the host part of the db config in the settings.py file. Is it my production server ip address?
Please bear with me i am new to django especially the deployment part. Can't find enough info on the django deployment documentations.
This is the error i am getting on my production server:
