Problemas con syncdb

[DIEGO CENZANO PRADO]

I am trying to do the tutorial and I get an error doing 'python manage.py syncdb'. I am using the DATABASES as it is created and I've try to use sqlite3 and mysql backends. I tried it in windows and in unix. Rasult is always the same:
 raise ImproperlyConfigured("settings.DATABASES is improperly configured. "
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: settings.DATABASES is improperly configured. Please supply the ENGINE value. Check settings documentation for more details.
But settings.py is:
DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
        'NAME': 'polls.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.
    }
}
¿Any idea?

I guess you could check if you're actually looking at the right file.

$ python manage.py shell

>>> import settings

>>> print settings.__file__

Thank you for your feedback. I was using django 1.4. I have changed to the previous version and it is working. Maybe a bug in the new version?

Try to setup the absolute path on "NAME".

Where have you created or put your database file while using 1.4 version ,
because I too have got this error and have been struggling to run it :( but
now reverted to 1.3 and it works.

According to the documentation:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.4/ref/settings/#name

Default: '' (Empty string)

The name of the database to use. For SQLite, it's the full path to the
database file. When specifying the path, always use forward slashes,
even on Windows (e.g. C:/homes/user/mysite/sqlite3.db).

So you should have a full path to the file, not just its name
