Guys i'm so confused i've installed Django, and run the server ok, but when try to configure the database an run the db sync command it crash returning the my ENGINE parameter is not OK, but the settings file is OK. Follow the settings file: DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'. 'NAME': 'mysite', # Or path to database file if using sqlite3. 'USER': 'root', # Not used with sqlite3. 'PASSWORD': '', # Not used with sqlite3. 'HOST': '', # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3. 'PORT': '', # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3. } } And the Error: Traceback (most recent call last): File "manage.py", line 10, in <module> execute_from_command_line(sys.argv) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 443, in execute_from_command_line utility.execute() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 382, in execute self.fetch_command(subcommand).run_from_argv(self.argv) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 196, in run_from_argv self.execute(*args, **options.__dict__) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 232, in execute output = self.handle(*args, **options) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 371, in handle return self.handle_noargs(**options) File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/management/commands/syncdb.py", line 57, in handle_noargs cursor = connection.cursor() File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/db/backends/dummy/base.py", line 15, in complain raise ImproperlyConfigured("settings.DATABASES is improperly configured.
