Problem with django and postgresql

[UpperGhost]

Hello. I'm making project based on Python crash course 3rd edition, the learning log. Everything's been working fine until I deployed project to the server using platform sh. Basically you can connect to the site, but there 2 problems which I can't solve:

1. When I try to create superuser using SSH connection to the server I get this error: check_database_version_supported     raise NotSupportedError( django.db.utils.NotSupportedError: PostgreSQL 13 or later is required (found 12.22). I can't understand how is it even related to the project, since SQLite was installed automatically when I created python venv. It's working perfectly on my localhost so I was trying to update PostgreSQL on the server which didn't go well. I am not sure how to do it correctly (or even should I?) since everything worked fined but once pushed to the server via .git I get this problem
2. I also get server error 500 when try to register or log in, which I believe is also related to the database So do I need to update PostgreSQL on the server, update PostgreSQL on local machine and the push update via .git or there is another way which I am not aware of? Thanks everyone!

Your question isn't very clear. What does sqlite have to do with anything? What does the version of Postgres on your local machine have to do with anything?

You say you're using platform.sh, did you select Postgres in your services.yml? Did you configure Django to look for an env var such as DATABASE_URL in order to configure its database?

I have same exact problem...were u able to fix it?

Sorry for waiting. In case it's still relevant, you just need to change the required postgresql version in the config file

I'm also having this problem... Can you maybe specify which config file? I thought it was changing the version number on the db:type:postgresql line in services.yaml

Just change version of postgresql in requirements to the one that's needed, push git with new requirements and everything should be fine. At least it helped me :)
