You can easily install xampp first from https://www.apachefriends.org/download.html

(Follow these steps for xampp installation.)

Then follow the instructions as:

  1. Install and run xampp from http://www.unixmen.com/install-xampp-stack-ubuntu-14-04/, then start Apache Web Server and MySQL Database from the GUI.
  2. You can configure your web server as you want but by default web server is at http://localhost:80 and database at port 3306, and PhpMyadmin at http://localhost/phpmyadmin/
  3. From here you can see your databases and access them using very friendly GUI.
  4. Create any database(DB_NAME) which you want to use on your Django Project.

  5. Edit your settings.py file

    DATABASES = {
    'default': {
    'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
    'NAME': 'DB_NAME',
    'HOST': '127.0.0.1',
    'PORT': '3306',
    'USER': 'root',
    'PASSWD': '',
    }}

  6. Install the following packages in the virtualenv (if you’re using django on virtualenv, which is more preferred):

    sudo apt-get install libmysqlclient-dev

    pip install MySQL-python

  7. That’s it!! you have configured Django with MySQL in a very easy way.

  8. Now run your Django project:

    python manage.py migrate

    python manage.py runserver
