I used default sqlite as my Database
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
'NAME': os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'db.sqlite3'),
}
}
My python version is python3 and Django version is 2.1.5

Hi.

Error is simple. Python is using too old version of sqlite. There are few options to fix that depending what os your system runs on.

Though sqlite is not very suitable for production so you may want to use something better like Postgres.

This is a known problem - at least on CentOS 7. Not sure what OS you're running on AWS - I don't have much experience with AWS. I literally just ran into this on my CentOS 7. I posted a fix for CentOS 7. Maybe it'll help you.

Or, if you prefer, use a slightly older version of Django that doesn't require an sqlite library that's newer than your OS has.

Either that, or if you plan on using a database other than sqlite in production, once you modify your settings.py's DATABASES variable to use something other than sqlite, you won't have this problem anymore.

I had the same problem. To fix it I used Python 3.6 and Django 2.1.

Sorry for the late reply, 

You can try these commands on your terminal:-

pip uninstall Django

Then

pip install Django 2.0

and try to run the server again.....


Thanks and regards:-
