I have settings like this

DATABASES = {
        'default': {
            'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
            'NAME': os.environ.get('DB_NAME'),
            'USER': os.environ.get('DB_USER'),
            'PASSWORD': os.environ.get('DB_PASS'),
            'HOST': os.environ.get('DB_HOST'),
            'PORT': os.environ.get('DB_PORT')
        }

in my main init file I added these lines:

import pymysql
pymysql.install_as_MySQLdb()

I have error like this now:

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: mysqlclient 1.3.13 or newer is required; you have 0.9.3.

I found solution in stackoverflow, but it is bad solution. Because when i to try start my django project in the server, this solution doesn't work.

Why don't you upgrade `MySQL`? Error message clearly says: `mysqlclient 1.3.13 or newer is required; you have 0.9.3` – Kamal Nayan Jun 16 '19 at 13:37

You need to install MySQL Connector. – caot Jun 16 '19 at 13:37
@caot yes! Thanks. This is correct answer!!! – nesalexy Jun 17 '19 at 08:09
@KamalNayan if it was used like you said, I would not create a question – nesalexy Jun 17 '19 at 08:11
