Django on AWS Elastic Beanstalk manage.py

I followed the below documentation and installed django on AWS Elastic Beanstalk. http://docs.aws.amazon.com/elasticbeanstalk/latest/dg/create_deploy_Python_django.html

Now I started writing my first djangoapp, the famous polls. The problem is when I use the command python manage.py startapp polls, I get an error Unknown Command : startapp. When I use the python manage.py syncdb, the error Unknown Command : syncdb.

When I use python manage.py I get the following

Usage: manage.py subcommand [options] [args]

Options:
  -v VERBOSITY, --verbosity=VERBOSITY
                        Verbosity level; 0=minimal output, 1=normal output,
                        2=verbose output, 3=very verbose output
  --settings=SETTINGS   The Python path to a settings module, e.g.
                        "myproject.settings.main". If this isn't provided, the
                        DJANGO_SETTINGS_MODULE environment variable will be
                        used.
  --pythonpath=PYTHONPATH
                        A directory to add to the Python path, e.g.
                        "/home/djangoprojects/myproject".
  --traceback           Print traceback on exception
  --version             show program's version number and exit
  -h, --help            show this help message and exit

  File "/tmp/djangodev/lib/python2.7/UserDict.py", line 23, in __getitem__
    raise KeyError(key)
KeyError: 'RDS_DB_NAME'

How to get past this ??

Thanks

It looks like you have a settings using environment variables:

  • Check your settings.py, in the database section, if you are using the os.environ['RDS_DB_NAME'] as database.
  • Check if you had configured the environment variable RDS_DB_NAME probably in your ~/.profile or ~/.bashrc or ~/.bash_profile or try with an export command export RDS_DB_NAME=my_dabatase_name after use the manage.py
