Database

The project is setup for MySql but the the default Sqlite3 database code is just commented out
so if you want to use the slqlite DB just comment out the MySql code. But if you use a 
MySql database be sure to add the credentials to secret.py as explained in the next step. Sqlite3 
is advised for development.

Create secret.py file in eliteDangerousEvents/eliteEvents/eliteEvents/

NOTE
secret.py should contain the django SECRET KEY and Google Oauth key as below. As well 
as the database information if you decide to to use a mysql database. 
If no secret.py is created a random secret key is generated and Oauth is unusable.
python manage.py runserver

secret.py

google_oauth_key = GOOGLE API SECRET
google_oauth_secret = GOOGLE API ID
django_secret_key = YOUR DJANGO SECRET KEY
facebook_oauth_key = FB App ID
facebook_oauth_secret = FB App Secret key
database_name = SCHEMA NAME
database_username = USERNAME
database_password = PASSWORD
database_endpoint = DATABASE URL

python manage.py runserver
