If your Django Apps throws this error:

    cursor.execute(self.ops.set_time_zone_sql(), [tz])

django.db.utils.DataError: invalid value for parameter "TimeZone": "America/New_York"

The problem is that your Database and Django app are set to use different timezones.

Search your Django settings files for this:

TIME_ZONE =

And then connect to your database and query for the timezone. In Postgres run this query:

show timezone;

The fix is to have your Database and Django app use the same time zone. The quickest fix is to set TIME_ZONE in your Django app to be the same as your Database.
