I wan to implement likes counter in my blog and am using the users IP address to unique identify the user. All is working fine on local machine but am getting an error "IpModel matching query does not exist" when I run it on pythonanywhere.com server.

Here is the snippet of my get client IP function;

def get_client_ip(request):
    x_forwarded_for = request.META.get('HTTP_X_REAL_IP')
    if x_forwarded_for:
        ip = x_forwarded_for.split(',')[0]
    else:
        ip = request.META.get('REMOTE_ADDR')
    return ip

and the other potion of the code is;

    like_status = False
    ip = get_client_ip(self.request)
    if self.object.likes.filter(id=IpModel.objects.get(ip=ip).id).exists():
        like_status = True
    else:
        like_status=False
    context['like_status'] = like_status

Which database are you using -- is it SQLite? If so, how are you specifying the location of the database file?
