Rather than have us guess what is in your settings file, post that whole
section. For example:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2',
'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
'NAME': os.path.join(ENVIRON_ROOT, 'db', 'database.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.
}
}
This will allow everyone to see if you have mucked up some other part of the
settings.
