Heroku django app createsuperuser

Question

I deployed my django app and when I tried

heroku run python manage.py syncdb

I got a timeout awaiting process error. Superuser is not created for the system yet, though i did syncdb by using:

heroku run:detached python manage.py createsuperuser

But this does not prompt me for the superuser.

Port 5000 is not blocked in my system. How do I make heroku run work (or) how do I create the super user?

Check your logs heroku logs , you may have problems with your requirements.txt – Monogenesis

Also, the syntax to create a super user is: createsuperuser without spaces – Monogenesis

@fasouto: I dont have a problem with the requirements.txt. The app is working and I also did syncdb. Only problem is i cannot create a superuser. – Expect

This really looks as though you can't connect, as you seem to be doing the right thing. Can you run heroku logs? – Amata

Answer 1

do not detach the heroku shell:

heroku run python manage.py createsuperuser

worked for me

Be sure to migrate the DB with heroku run python manage.py migrate, this is only required if the DB was not migrated prior to calling the createsuperuser command. – Part

Answer 2

after wasting entire day i got the answer

heroku run python manage.py syncdb

doesn't run on institute or office lan to run this you must remove system proxy as well

 unset http_proxy
`unset https_proxy`

I hope this will help

Answer 3

Try

heroku run python manage.py shell

And then create your superuser from there. Good luck!

Expertize

Try heroku run bash and then do a python manage.py shell. – Expertize

anything with heroku run gives a timeout – Expect

Answer 4

More info please.
What DB are you using?
Have you set your local_settings.py?
Are you using Debian?

I use Postgres on Debian so I had to both apt-get install python-psycopg2 (otherwise you can't use postgres) and pip install --user psycopg2 (otherwise pip freeze misses Postgres), then manually create a user and db. Replace USER with the username from your local_settings.py

sudo su - postgres
createuser USER -dPRs
createdb --owner USER  db.db
