django-zappa: Error loading psycopg2 module: libpq.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
Question:
When trying to deploy a Django project using django-zappa, I get the following error in the zappa tail output:
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Error loading psycopg2 module: libpq.so.5: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory
I’ve made sure to include the psycopg2 module in the requirements file:
psycopg2==2.8.3
It’s installed in the virtual environment that’s active while running the zappa deploy command.
I’m running on Linux and had to install libpq-dev via apt before even being able to pip install psycopg2 as I received an error before, saying that libpq was missing on the system (similar to the above error, I guess).
How can I overcome this error?
Thanks!
Answers:
I managed to solve the problem by installing the psycopg2-binary package:
pip install psycopg2-binary
After a redeploy, it works fine.
I encountered the same problem when runing django in a raspberrypi model 3 B+ with the latest os.
sudo apt-get install libpq5 -y
worked for me
