I have django installed on my server with pymongo and mongoengine.My django project settings.py file :

# Django settings

    # ('Your Name', '[email protected]'),

whenever i try to access the project it gives me error:

Exception Value: 'django_mongodb_engine' isn't an available database backend. Try using django.db.backends.XXX, where XXX is one of: 'dummy', 'mysql', 'oracle', 'postgresql', 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'sqlite3' Error was: No module named django_mongodb_engine.base

I dont know what am I doing wrong here in settings file.I am following http://www.chrisumbel.com/article/django_python_mongodb_engine_mongo for help.

The code in that linked article has django_mongodb_engine.mongodb for the ENGINE setting.

You'll also need django-nonrel for this to work.

django-nonrel is already installed and I have tried both django_mongodb_engine.mongodb and django_mongodb_engine in 'Engine' name but it still giving me same error
Oh i found the problem ,I was using the wrong package of django mongodb.Now I installed the right package and it started working. Thanks
@anks: its awesome if you mention correct package name, very easy to us
@daniel, problem with django-nonre is that it downgrades your django package to 1.5, for any one using django ver 1.5+, its a nightmare.....i was following tutorial when i realized this!!

you can remove the default django installation by

sudo pip uninstall django 

and reinstalled from Django fork(https://github.com/django-nonrel/django) with support for NoSQL databases by

sudo pip install git+https://github.com/django-nonrel/django

and remove/comment MIDDLEWARE_CLASSES from setting.py

# 'django.contrib.auth.middleware.SessionAuthenticationMiddleware',
# 'django.middleware.security.SecurityMiddleware',
