Sorry about that... here is what I have in the settings.py ( similiar to
what you showed, but mine is abit different in the NAME section):
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2',
'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
'NAME': 'home/username/directory/database' # 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.
}
}
Inside the settings.py file, in the template_dirs section, there's a line
says os.path.join(os.path.dirname(_file_), 'templates')
If I comment that, then there's a error saying it doesn't recognize _file_.
I commented that line, then it says that the setting ENGINE has not been
set.
