How to connect django with mysql database proberly

Abdelrahman Sheded :

First of all im tring to connect a django_project to mysql by editting my_project/settings.py file with the code below

I created a database called (mydatabase) and user with full privileges called (admin) identified by (admin), then i tried to connect my django project with mydatabase by the following code below:

django_project\mysettings.py

DATABASES = {
'default': {
    'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
    'NAME': 'mydatabase',
    'USER': 'admin',
    'PASSWORD': 'admin',
    'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
    'PORT': '5432',
}

}

Everything was working as expected until i changed that DATABASES dictionary from the default value in file above and it resulted by the following error when i tried to run the server with py manage.py runserver

Watching for file changes with StatReloader

performing system checks...

MySQLdb._exceptions.OperationalError: (2013, "Lost connection to MySQL server at 'handshake: reading inital communication packet', system error: 0")
django.db.utils.OperationalError: (2013, "Lost connection to MySQL server at 'handshake: reading inital communication packet', system error: 0")

I didn't provide the traceback for the error as it seemed unneccessary, I would provide it if needed

I have both mysql client and mysql connector modules installed :

mysql-connector-python 8.0.19
mysqlclient            1.4.6

Port 3306 is the default port for the MySQL Protocol, which is used by the mysql client You are using 5432 which is default for Postgresql.
