django manage.py 引发 ImproperlyConfigured 错误

Question

在尝试运行 ./manage.py runserver 或 shell 或任何其他与此相关的命令时，我收到错误:您必须定义“默认”数据库。

我在 virtualenv 中运行它，settings.py 包含 DATABASE_NAME，以及主机、端口和引擎。 django 期望默认数据库的定义在哪里？

这是回溯:

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: You must define a 'default' database

Answer 1

DATABASE_NAME 自 django 1.2 起已弃用，因此如果您使用较新的版本，则应使用 new way of defining databases :

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
        'NAME': 'mydatabase'
    }
}
