Deploying Django app's local postgres database to heroku? -

i unsuccesfully getting django app deployed on heroku use local postgres db.

my database settings follows:

databases = {     'default': {         'engine': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',         'name': 'mydb',         'user': 'foo',         'password': 'bar',         'host': 'localhost',         'port': '',     } } 

everything runs fine locally. following instructions https://devcenter.heroku.com/articles/django, add following bit code bottom of settings file:

import dj_database_url databases = {'default': dj_database_url.config(default='postgres://foo:bar@localhost/mydb')} secure_proxy_ssl_header = ('http_x_forwarded_proto', 'https') 

however, produces following error:

operationalerror @ / not connect server: connection refused server running on host "localhost" (127.0.0.1) , accepting tcp/ip connections on port 5432?

my django app runs fine on heroku, except when needs connect database, throws error.

anyone know doing wrong here?

1. allow remote postgres access local db. example
2. change settings file this:

databases = {

  'default': {       'engine': 'django.db.backends.postgresql_psycopg2',       'name': 'your db name',       'user': 'your username',       'password': 'password',       'host': 'your computer's ip',       'port': '6122',   } 

or have clone local db heroku postgres , change settings use db.
