Creating a Django Project with MySQL and File Upload Using PyCharm
This tutorial walks through preparing the development environment, creating a Django project and app in PyCharm, configuring MySQL, adjusting Django's MySQL backend, setting up URL routing, and establishing a folder for file uploads, all illustrated with step‑by‑step screenshots.
Welcome readers and invite them to follow the tutorial on setting up a Django project for file upload, encouraging participation and sharing of technical documentation.
1. Prepare the environment : install Python 3.7.6, Django 3.0.4, and MySQL 8.0.19.
2. Create a Django project and app in PyCharm :
a) Use PyCharm to create a new Django project.
b) Inside the project directory upload_file, create an app named upload with the command django-admin startapp upload and add it to settings.py.
c) Configure the settings.py file to connect to the MySQL database and adjust language settings.
3. Create the MySQL database : open a terminal and run create database informations to create the informations database.
4. Adjust Django's MySQL backend : because the MysqlDb module is deprecated in Python 3, edit site‑packages/django/mysql/db/base.py and comment out lines 35‑37.
5. Configure upload.urls to route file upload requests.
6. Create a folder for uploaded files to store the uploaded content.
