Hi, Maybe it's a stupid issue but I think the error message is not clear or I am missing something about the dummy db.backend. Why if you set an error database backend the error message is the next one? Try using django.db.backends.XXX, where XXX is one of: 'dummy', 'mysql', 'oracle', 'postgresql', 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'sqlite3'
If a user sets the dummy one it will get stucked with messages like this (and will ask help on the django-users list :P): Error: Django doesn't know which syntax to use for your SQL statements, because you haven't specified the ENGINE setting for the database. Edit your settings file and change DATBASES['default']['ENGINE'] to something like 'django.db.backends.postgresql' or 'django.db.backends.mysql'. Shouldn't the first error just tell you: Try using django.db.backends.XXX, where XXX is one of: 'mysql', 'oracle', 'postgresql', 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'sqlite3' (not dummy) Just because users (new ones) can expect that the dummy backend is a correct one. And as I've been looking onto the code it's just used when no backend is setted. Just to don't give people an incorrect message.
