python - ImproperlyConfigured('SQLite 3.8.3 or later is required (found %s).' % Database.sqlite_version)

Question

ImproperlyConfigured('SQLite 3.8.3 or later is required (found %s).' % Database.sqlite_version) django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: SQLite 3.8.3 or later

I met with this problem at the django project, mismatching version for the sqlite3 and the django. this occurs at the centos7 env, and I also want a convenient solution that works in the container env.

Answer 1

I solved this issue by upgrading my version of sqlite3 using this command:

cd ~ && wget https://www.sqlite.org/2020/sqlite-autoconf-3320100.tar.gz && tar xvfz sqlite-autoconf-3320100.tar.gz && cd sqlite-autoconf-3320100 && ./configure && make && make install

I am using ElasticBeanstalk for my setup, so I added a .config file to the .ebextensions folder and put this in it:

option_settings:
  aws:elasticbeanstalk:application:environment:
    LD_LIBRARY_PATH: "/usr/local/lib"
commands:
  01_upgrade_sqlite:
    command: "cd ~ && wget https://www.sqlite.org/2020/sqlite-autoconf-3320100.tar.gz && tar xvfz sqlite-autoconf-3320100.tar.gz && cd sqlite-autoconf-3320100 && ./configure && make && make install"

Many thanks to Bejür for adding the LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable here in order to get it to work.
