i'm touching the information_schema database

I deleted "My name"$default database before i read the 'note'.
Now my application don't lunch and read error: Something went wrong :-(
And log information is:
Error running WSGI application 2023-04-02 11:59:49,417: django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading MySQLdb module. 2023-04-02 11:59:49,418: Did you install mysqlclient? 2023-04-02 11:59:49,418: File "/var/www/"My name"_pythonanywhere_com_wsgi.py", line 10, in <module> 2023-04-02 11:59:49,418: application = StaticFilesHandler(get_wsgi_application())

That error is not related to you deleting your database. It's because you do not appear to have mysqlclient installed. See https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/InstallingNewModules/

Hey nook17, if you're thinking that the error is caused by deleting that database then you can try recreating it through the mysql repl
