Is there a way to modify the database settings other than local_settings.py?

is there a way to modify the database settings other than settings_local.py.

I have the following in settings_local.py:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': '****',
        'USER': '****',
        'PASSWORD': '****',
        'HOST': 'localhost',
        'PORT': '3306',
    }
}

It tries to connect to the database using '/tmp/mysql.sock' as the socket but my mysql socket is located at '/opt/bitnami/mysql/tmp/mysql.sock'. Is there a work around for this?

Any suggestions will be appreciated.

Thanks

@kalamhavij, please make sure your postings have a clear, specific question in their title. I edited this one, and I removed the lengthy Apache log output. Use a pastebin is you need to share such logs.
