# Check firewall/antivirusProblem: Database-related errors
Solution:
# Reset database
python manage.py flush
# Recreate migrations
python manage.py makemigrations
python manage.py migrateConsiderations for production environments
The above instructions are for local development and testing. For production deployment in real hospitals, additional security configuration, SSL certificates, and regulatory compliance are required. We are currently working on security systems to obtain ISO certifications and comply with healthcare regulations.
