Missing docs for mysql????? django.db.utils.OperationalError: (1049, "Unknown database '/etc/sentry.db'")

[David Montgomery]

Hi,

I use mysql...and due to the docs I am stuck on this

# If you're using Postgres, and kept the database ``NAME`` as ``sentry``
$ createdb -E utf-8 sentry

What is the mysql version of the above?


If I run sentry --config=/etc/sentry.conf.py upgrade I get the below errors.

To be honest, if you can’t figure out how to create the MySQL database, you probably shouldn’t run Sentry. That’s the easiest item on the list of some complex dependencies and operational issues, and a lot of Sentry makes assumptions that you know how to monitor its dependencies/etc.

That said, you need to create whatever database name you’ve put in the configuration, and you need to do that however you do it with MySQL. I’ll leave that exercise to the reader.

Wow....quite the respose....and kinda rude. and yes..I did create the mysql database and updated the conf settings

[David Cramer]

You need to look at the setup documentation. You haven’t filled out any of the database settings so its trying to connect to the defaults.

I’m serious when I say that Sentry is not a simple application. You might think it’s rude, but really it’s an attempt to save you a lot of headaches that you’re going to have going into unfamiliar territory.

Also as an aside, and we mention this in the docs several times, you should use Postgres instead of MySQL if possible. MySQL isn’t fully supported and you will have to worry about optimization of many things yourself.
