issue installing on MySQL

[ericjgreen]

Hi,
I've attempted to setup a base project, base app, setup my settings.py, and attempted to run migrations. I have nothing in this project except changes to settings.py to connect to my backend MySQL, installed (via pip) the django-scheduler, added schedule to the installed apps, run makemigrations and attempted to migrate. Upon executing this, i get an error as noted below

`PS C:\Development\Django\TestProject\src> python manage.py migrate

Can you give more information about your mysql server?

[ericjgreen]

Absolutely. MySQL is running on my desktop (Win10). I have not attempted to deploy anywhere else.

hope this helps.
