django project deployed in pythonanywhere loads but the page is black without text

Using Django Deployment
1

My django project runs well in PyCharm but when deployed in pythonanywhere, it loads a blank page with the title alone and no other text.

On web tab, I gave url and path to static and media as given below
/static/ /home/swapna304/movie/static
/media/ /home/swapna304/movie/media

In the actual django project, I used django admin database but how to connect that in pythonanywhere? I didn’t know that. So, I connected to mysql.
DATABASES = {
‘default’: {
‘ENGINE’: ‘django.db.backends.mysql’,
‘NAME’: ‘swapna304$moviedb’,
‘USER’: ‘swapna304’,
‘PASSWORD’: ‘************’,
‘HOST’: ‘swapna304.mysql.pythonanywhere-services.com’,
}
}

Please help with this issue.
Thanks

I myself resolved this issue.

Solution : In bash console,
python manage.py createsuperuser
enter username, email id, password and create admin.
Next, go to admin panel by typing /admin at the end of url on address bar, login and add all data and media required for the project and then logout.
Come to web tab in pythonanywhere, refresh the link and run …
All Set!

In your post it didn’t specified that you wanted your local data is transferred to new db.

Instead of manually typing all the data, for future reference you can use python manage.py dumpdata and python manage.py loaddata django-admin and manage.py | Django documentation | Django
