I'm getting this error "django.db.utils.NotSupportedError: MySQL 8 or later is required (found 5.7.41)." What to do? Can the mysql server be upgraded by my side or is it a server side problem?

Also, Is it necessary to use the pythonanywhere mysql server or can I link other database hosting sites too? Cause when I tried to link one of the other one's, it doesn't grant permission. Although, It connected from all places I tried.

Free accounts have restricted internet access, so you wouldn't be able to connect with an external service.

Regarding a possible upgrade of your existing PA MySQL db, please contact us via emai at support@pythonanywhere.com and we'll provide you with further details.

Alright! Thanks
