Can you explain how you set up your DB?

It looks like the user DELL doesn't have permissions

[latent vale]

I didnt setup the DB I am not the author,

[cursive shoal]

it's possible the user doesn't have permissions from localhost

maybe try 127.0.0.1 instead, mysql can be weird about this

do you have root access into the db?

[small elk]

How did you get the code?

[latent vale]

I dont think so I only know basics of mysql

[small elk]

After setting up the DB, you need to also set permissions in the DB

someone sent it to me, he doesnt have any kowledge of django or sql

[small elk]

Not from Django

[latent vale]

it contains the original authors password and name

[latent vale]

can you share some resource on how to setup it

should I create a user with the authors name and password ?

[small elk]

thats up to you

even better if you create your own and never share name and password with anyone
