18058	Problem with syncdb in Django 1.4	diegocepr@…	nobody	"I am trying to do the tutorial with django 1.4 and I get an error doing 'python manage.py syncdb'. I am using the DATABASES as it is created and I've try to use sqlite3 and mysql backends. I tried it in windows and in unix. Rasult is always the same:
{{{
  raise ImproperlyConfigured(""settings.DATABASES is improperly configured. ""
  django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: settings.DATABASES is improperly configured. Please supply the ENGINE value. Check settings documentation for more details.
}}}

But settings.py is:
{{{
DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
        'NAME': 'polls.db',                      # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
        'USER': '',                      # 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.
    }
}
}}}
However I have tried with previous version of Django and it works ok."	Bug	closed	Uncategorized	1.4	Normal	worksforme	startproject, tutorial		Unreviewed	0	0	0	0	0	0
