GDAL can't work on heroku without you adding external buildpack to help you build Geospatial configurations. That is why I recommend you go through this article again and implement the stuff suggested. They are easy and not detrimental.

The error you are getting sterms from directing heroku to look for buildpacks and runtimes in arbitary paths that do not really exist.

In your settings.py, add this to the bottom of the file:

DATABASES['default']['ENGINE'] = 'django.contrib.gis.db.backends.postgis'
Enter fullscreen mode Exit fullscreen mode

What database are you using? And do you use heroku's dj_database_url?
