Make sure to put it at the ''top'' of the project directory, namely in ''django-for-designers'', not ''django-for-designers/myproject''.
Be sure to stage this for being committed.
<source lang="bash">
# in django-for-designers
$ git add Procfile
</source>
To configure the database, we will employ a trick at the bottom of the settings file: if we detect we are running on Heroku, we change the configuration to the one that Heroku provides.
Line 72 ⟶ 79:
import dj_database_url
DATABASES['default'] = dj_database_url.config()
</source>
You need to also add one line to requirements.txt so that your Python code can communicate with Heroku's databases, which run a database server called postgres. Support for this is not built-in to Python, but it is available by a module. Add that module name to your ''requirements.txt'' file:
<source lang="python">
psycopg2
</source>
