Deploy error: psycopg2 can't translate host name to address

1

Thanks for the help in my previous post.

However, I am having a new problem with my deploy of the Django deploy tutorial.

After processing static files, I get a new error:

 psycopg2.OperationalError: could not translate host name "dpg-ccpqbkaen0hr84ndrafg-a" to address: Name or service not known

I followed the Manual Deploy as instructed in the tutorial. After installing dj-database-url, I added the configuration to the DATABASES setting in Django’s setting.py and added the DATABASE_URL environment variable with the internal URL my database.

Part of the tutorial involves adding the following code to my settings.py:

ALLOWED_HOSTS = []
RENDER_EXTERNAL_HOSTNAME = os.environ.get('RENDER_EXTERNAL_HOSTNAME')
if RENDER_EXTERNAL_HOSTNAME:
    ALLOWED_HOSTS.append(RENDER_EXTERNAL_HOSTNAME)

Perhaps this is relevant?

Thanks for your help.

Hi Micah,

Can you double check that your service and the database are in the same region?

They aren’t. Should they be?
