I am following the geodjango tutorial on djangoproject. I have
installed postgresql with postgis. and tested orginfo with GDAL
sucessfully. However, I am getting an error while running syncdb.
django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: Could not import user-
defined GEOMETRY_BACKEND "geos".
I am unable to crack it as PostGIS already has geos folder in it and I
have given the right path.
below is my database config.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.contrib.gis.db.backends.postgis', # Add
'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
'NAME': 'geodjango', # 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.
}
}
