ValueError: Incorrect timezone setting while migrating manage.py file in Django

django, django-timezone, python, timezone

Solution

According to the documentation:

`TIME_ZONE`

Default: 'America/Chicago'

A string representing the time zone for this installation, or None.

Instead of `utc+6.00`, set the `TIME_ZONE` to `Asia/Dhaka`:

TIME_ZONE = 'Asia/Dhaka'

Problem

I am following the Django official documentation for writing my first app using Django. Here, it says that I have to set `TIME_ZONE` to my time zone in the `settings.py` file. The default value of `TIME_ZONE` was `"utc"` and i have changed it to `"utc+6.00"`. After this edit, when I try to migrate the `manage.py` file: ``` python manage.py migrate ``` A value error occurred: ValueError: Incorrect timezone setting: UTC+6.00 I am sorry, if this is a very basic question, but I couldn't figure out the solution after hours of search in Google. N.B: My time zone is Asia/Dhaka (+6:00) My OS is Ubuntu 14.10
