manage.py runserver giving error!!

[Gagan (GPS)]

I am using Ubuntu 11.04 and I had recently installed Django by using
svn and creating a hard link of the Django folder to the appropriate
python folder. When I tried to create a new project, It created the
project easily but the manage.py runserver is giving me trouble.
192.168.2.127 is the IP address of this computer. The problem is
coming even if I do not give my IP address.

Kindly help.

Following is the display on the terminal when I try to execute the
command:



$ python manage.py runserver 192.168.2.127:8000

As that traceback shows, there is a problem with your database engine setting. What have you put in the DATABASES dictionary in settings.py?

I am using sqlite3.

The database settings are as follows:

DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'sqlite3', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'mysql',
'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
'NAME': '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.

    }
} 

So, you ignored the bit that said 'Add' when you replaced the stub ENGINE setting with 'sqlite3'. It should be 'django.db.backends.sqlite3'.
