And set the "Folder pattern to track files" with "migrations"
Then change the database login information in COMP9900/setting.py and you also need to migrate the models into your database, by running Tools/Run manage.py Task... and command makemigrations COMP9900_LIM, sqlmigrate COMP9900_LIM 0001 and migrate in turn.
And open the Run/Edit Configurations to set the Run browser to "127.0.0.1:8000/" and set the Working directory to the location of this project and then you can run the django server
