I am deploying my django project using amazon ec2 and the bitnami-djangostack ami.
While I was developing the app locally I used mysql. But after deploying the project I used the default for bitnami postgresql.
Now I am getting the following error:
django.db.utils.DatabaseError: relation "appName_appName" does not exist
LINE 1: SELECT (1) AS "a" FROM "appName_appName" WHERE "appName_a...
^
I don’t know why the database is naming the database twice (appName_appName).
here is the full terminal:

thank you,

I just added the appname_appname to my database and it now works fine.
sorry to mislead – my mistake. I still don’t understand why the piece of code wasn’t being added to the database on syncdb to begin with though.
but all is well now
