    <p>I'm trying to run the Django on Heroku following the tutorial at:</p> <p><a href="https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/django" rel="nofollow">Getting Started with Django on Heroku</a></p> <p>Everything was running well untill I got to the syncbd part:</p> <p><a href="https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/django#syncing-the-database" rel="nofollow">Syncing the database</a></p> <p>When I run: <code>heroku run python manage.py syncdb</code>, I get the following error:</p> <pre><code>psycopg2.OperationalError: could not connect to server: No such file or directory Is the server running locally and accepting connections on Unix domain socket "/var/run/postgresql/.s.PGSQL.5432"? </code></pre> <p>I'm currently using PostgreSQL from Homebrew, and it's running well:</p> <pre><code>LOG: database system is ready to accept connections LOG: autovacuum launcher started </code></pre> <p>The app server is also running localy:</p> <pre><code>Validating models... 0 errors found Django version 1.4.1, using settings 'hellodjango.settings' Development server is running at http://127.0.0.1:8000/ Quit the server with CONTROL-C. </code></pre> <p>And I'm working on Mac OS 10.7.</p> <p>The code I'm deploying to Heroku is available here:</p> <p><a href="https://dl.dropbox.com/u/2490888/heroku.zip" rel="nofollow">Link to my code</a></p> <p>I've already tried a lot of possible solutions such as:</p> <p><a href="http://jeffammons.net/2011/09/fixing-postgres-on-mac-10-7-tiger-for-django/" rel="nofollow">http://jeffammons.net/2011/09/fixing-postgres-on-mac-10-7-tiger-for-django/</a></p> <p>but nothing seems to work.</p> <p>EDIT:</p> <p>Looking around I've found this code, and added it to the settings.py file, and it seems to solve my problem:</p> <pre><code># Register database schemes in URLs. urlparse.uses_netloc.append('postgres') urlparse.uses_netloc.append('mysql') try: if 'DATABASES' not in locals(): DATABASES = {} if 'DATABASE_URL' in os.environ: url = urlparse.urlparse(os.environ['DATABASE_URL']) # Ensure default database exists.
