title: Heroku tutorial error running python manage.py syncdb to update local database
body: <p>This question has been asked before and answered <a href="https://stackoverflow.com/questions/11618800/error-when-running-python-manage-py-syncdb-locally-but-no-error-when-running">here</a>, and I understand the reasoning as to why I am getting the error, however I am still unclear about the solution from the answer given. What code or changes should I be adding to make it work? Do I need to make changes to</p>
  
  <pre><code> DATABASES['default'] =  dj_database_url.config()
  </code></pre>
  
  <p>in my settings? The tutorial isn't very clear about this.  Thanks for any help.</p>
