mezzanine database_engine help

[Diacre Bayishime]

Hi guys, I have python2.7 and django1.4 installed and I was trying to
run my first mezzanine project but it gave me an error.

"Settings" object has no attribute "DATABASE_ENGINE"


I can't even access the admin page.

Any ideas?

Your settings.py does not likely define a database. I recommend going through the Django tutorial. If you want to save time, here is the database setup portion: https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/intro/tutorial01/#database-setup

Can you give a longer traceback?

You probably have some code, potentially in a third-party application, which is trying to do:

from django.conf import settings

settings.DATABASE_ENGINE

If you drop back to Django 1.3.1 this would probably not be an issue, because the DATABASE_ENGINE was still valid (although deprecated) but in 1.4 it is (I think) no longer available.
