Issue with Geodjango OGR failure - GDAL Exception - leaflet

Question

I have made it to which the model in django is built, but once adding data and clicking save my app crash
i get GDAL exception - OGR Failure, and it highlights in the crash page " {{ field.field }}" as the reason for the error.
here's screen shot Admin view for adding data to the model
i get this right away after clicking save
Anyone been through this? any help?
Thanks

Answer 1

Apologies for copy/pasting and only slightly modifying #Kiwi's answer. I tried adding a comment to the original answer but I could not add formatted code.
It seems now that you cannot install the 64 bit version of OSGEO4W any more. I installed the only version available here and modified #Kiwi's answer to reflect the lack of 64 bit. I'm on Windows 10. All works fine with the below.
import platform
import environ
WINDOWS = platform.system() == "Windows"
if WINDOWS:
# the below needs to change for linux
GDAL_LIBRARY_PATH = r'C:\OSGeo4W\bin\gdal303.dll'
GEOS_LIBRARY_PATH = r'C:\OSGeo4W\bin\geos_c.dll'
OSGEO4W = r"C:\OSGeo4W"
os.environ['OSGEO4W_ROOT'] = OSGEO4W
os.environ['GDAL_DATA'] = "C:\Program Files\GDAL\gdal-data" # OSGEO4W + r"\share\gdal"
os.environ['PROJ_LIB'] = OSGEO4W + r"\share\proj"
os.environ['PATH'] = OSGEO4W + r"\bin;" + os.environ['PATH']

Answer 2

if os.name == 'nt':
import platform
OSGEO4W = r"C:\OSGeo4W"
if '64' in platform.architecture()[0]:
OSGEO4W += "64"
assert os.path.isdir(OSGEO4W), "Directory does not exist: " + OSGEO4W
os.environ['OSGEO4W_ROOT'] = OSGEO4W
os.environ['GDAL_DATA'] = "C:\Program Files\GDAL\gdal-data" #OSGEO4W + r"\share\gdal"
os.environ['PROJ_LIB'] = OSGEO4W + r"\share\proj"
os.environ['PATH'] = OSGEO4W + r"\bin;" + os.environ['PATH']
the issue was that this code enforces the paths defined in it over geodjango, so even if you set system variables, still this code would dominate over the system variables.
If anyone has issue with OGR don't hesitate to comment

Answer 3

I had the same problem and this is how I was able to solve it.
first check your GDAL version and GEOS
by running following scripts
gdal-config --version
and
geos-config --version
If the versions of GDAL and GEOS do not match, you will need to either install a compatible version of GEOS or update GDAL to a version that is compatible with the version of GEOS you have installed.
For example if you have GEOS version 3.8.0 or above you will need to upgrade GDAL >= 3.1.2
