i assume your database is hosted locally

so try changing this in your settings file for the database

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': 'mystic_db',
        'USER': 'root',
        'PASSWORD': '*****',
        'HOST': '127.0.0.1', or localhost whatever you prefer
        'PORT': '',
}
}

This was a problem because of improper installing of elastic search which I was using along with haystack module. Elastic search is built using Java, and requires at least Java 8 in order to run. Once I installed the same, the connection error urllib3.connection.HTTPConnection got alright.
