ubuntu下Django连接mysql数据库出错及解决

今天有时间就又开始了Django的学习，下载了《Django Web开发指南》，按照第二章的例子准备做下blog的小例子。没想到在开始不久在连接数据库的时候就开始出现了问题。耗费了我一个多小时的时间才终于将它解决。顺便说下Django Web开发指南这本书，大致的扫了一下，发现第一章讲python基本知识居然有6近0页，这是鸡肋啊。

按照书上的步骤，先创建一个项目

django-admin startproject mysite

之后运行开发服务器，这是一个Django自带的用于开发期间的服务器

1 ./manage.py runserver

之后创建blog应用

./manage.py startapp blog

然后修改setting.py文件，在INSTALLED_APPS元组的最后加上'mysite.blog',(结尾的逗号是必须的).

之后在models.py中设计model

1 from django.db import models
2 class BlogPost(models.Model):
3       title = models.CharField(max_length = 150)
4       body = models.TextField()
5       timestamp = models.DateTimeField()

接下来就是设置数据库了，也就是我出现问题的地方。Django支持mysql，PostgreSQL，Oracle等数据库，还有简单的附带在python中SQLite.我选用mysql来进行数据库的设置.

首先是修改setting.py文件，其中的数据库部分

 1 DATABASES = {
 2     'default': {
 3         'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', 
 4         'NAME': 'mysql',                     
 5         'USER': 'root',                     
 6         'PASSWORD': 'fan',                 
 7         'HOST': 'localhost',                    
 8         'PORT': '',                    
 9     }
10 }

这是最终的配置这个正确的结果，这里的name一定要设定为你的数据库的名字，如果错了就会出现一下错误信息，我开始写的是djangodb

    super(Connection, self).__init__(*args, **kwargs2)
_mysql_exceptions.OperationalError: (1049, "Unknown database 'djangodb'")

而一开始我出现的是下面的错误，非常的长，而有用的是最后的错误提示

    raise ImproperlyConfigured("Error loading MySQLdb module: %s" % e)
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module: No module named MySQLdb

最后的提示是No module named MYSQLdb，就是说没有和mysql连接上。我开始尝试进入mysql，不知是为什么，一直出现类似与

error: 'Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)'的错误。我猜想可能是密码的原因，不管了，时间紧迫我就想着重新安装mysql。

在ubuntu下，首先进行卸载，然后安装，命令如下

1 卸载
2 sudo apt-get autoremove --purge mysql-server
3 sudo apt-get remove mysql-common     //用于彻底删除
4 安装
5 sudo apt-get install mysql-server
6 sudo apt-get install mysql-client

在安装的过程中会弹出一个对话框来设置mysql 的root用户的密码。

但是重新安装好后还是不能成功。查找资料过后发现还需要安装python-mysql的触发器，也就是python-mysqldb

apt-get install python-mysqldb

安装好后，我再进行测试，终于成功了。

You just installed Django's auth system, which means you don't have any superusers defined.
Would you like to create one now? (yes/no): yes
Username (Leave blank to use 'root'): ***

总结一下，引发这些问题其实很简单，就是mysql数据库和django的配置两个方面，setting.py文件不能写错，另外还需要安装python-mysqldb，否则会出现错误。
