Hello - I'm evaluating PythonAnywhere with a Django project previously deployed elsewhere. I followed the (every good!) Django tutorial successfully till the MySQL section - which I managed to install/connect to using Django. However I got stuck cause the MySQL instance is very unresponsive.
30 seconds to show databases via the console:
mysql> SHOW DATABASES;
+--------------------------+
| Database |
+--------------------------+
| information_schema |
| xxx$default |
| xxx$researcher2019 |
+--------------------------+
3 rows in set (28.38 sec)
And if I run python manage.py migrate
it basically hangs forever.
Am I doing anything wrong? Is it because I'm using a basic account?
PS
In https://help.pythonanywhere.com/pages/DeployExistingDjangoProject/ in the MySQL section it would be useful to mention that one has to set up a DB via the web console separately, before being able to run ./manage.py migrate
