Hi Simon Much appreciated.
However, I am obviously doing something wrong. If I save that code into a file called "base.py" stored in my 'custom' app, and then change my settings file to have: DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'custom.base', # WAS: 'django.db.backends.mysql', 'NAME': DB_NAME, 'USER': DB_USER, 'PASSWORD': DB_PWORD, 'HOST': '', 'PORT': '', } } Then I get this error on startup: Traceback (most recent call last): File "manage.py", line 14, in <module> execute_from_command_line(sys.argv) File "/home/gamesbook/.virtualenvs/s2s/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 399, in execute_from_command_line utility.execute() File "/home/gamesbook/.virtualenvs/s2s/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 392, in execute self.fetch_command(subcommand).run_from_argv(self.argv) File "/home/gamesbook/.virtualenvs/s2s/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 242, in run_from_argv self.execute(*args, **options.__dict__) File "/home/gamesbook/.virtualenvs/s2s/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/core/management/base.py", line 280, in execute translation.activate('en-us') File "/home/gamesbook/.virtualenvs/s2s/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/utils/translation/__init__.py", line 130, in activate return _trans.activate(language) File "/home/gamesbook/.virtualenvs/s2s/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/utils/translation/trans_real.py", line 188, in activate _active.value = translation(language) File "/home/gamesbook/.virtualenvs/s2s/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/utils/translation/trans_real.py", line 177, in translation default_translation = _fetch(settings.LANGUAGE_CODE) File "/home/gamesbook/.virtualenvs/s2s/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/utils/translation/trans_real.py", line 159, in _fetch app = import_module(appname) File "/home/gamesbook/.virtualenvs/s2s/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/utils/importlib.py", line 40, in import_module __import__(name) File "/home/gamesbook/.virtualenvs/s2s/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/massadmin/__init__.py", line 28, in <module> from django.contrib import admin File "/home/gamesbook/.virtualenvs/s2s/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/__init__.py", line 6, in <module> from django.contrib.admin.sites import AdminSite, site File "/home/gamesbook/.virtualenvs/s2s/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/sites.py", line 4, in <module> from django.contrib.admin.forms import AdminAuthenticationForm File "/home/gamesbook/.virtualenvs/s2s/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/admin/forms.py", line 6, in <module> from django.contrib.auth.forms import AuthenticationForm File "/home/gamesbook/.virtualenvs/s2s/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/auth/forms.py", line 17, in <module> from django.contrib.auth.models import User File "/home/gamesbook/.virtualenvs/s2s/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/contrib/auth/models.py", line 48, in <module> class Permission(models.Model): File "/home/gamesbook/.virtualenvs/s2s/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/db/models/base.py", line 96, in __new__ new_class.add_to_class('_meta', Options(meta, **kwargs)) File "/home/gamesbook/.virtualenvs/s2s/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/db/models/base.py", line 264, in add_to_class value.contribute_to_class(cls, name) File "/home/gamesbook/.virtualenvs/s2s/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/db/models/options.py", line 124, in contribute_to_class self.db_table = truncate_name(self.db_table, connection.ops.max_name_length()) File "/home/gamesbook/.virtualenvs/s2s/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/db/__init__.py", line 34, in __getattr__ return getattr(connections[DEFAULT_DB_ALIAS], item) File "/home/gamesbook/.virtualenvs/s2s/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/db/utils.py", line 198, in __getitem__ backend = load_backend(db['ENGINE']) File "/home/gamesbook/.virtualenvs/s2s/local/lib/python2.7/site-packages/django/db/utils.py", line 131, in load_backend raise ImproperlyConfigured(error_msg) django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: 'custom.base' isn't an available database backend. Try using 'django.db.backends.XXX', where XXX is one of: u'mysql', u'oracle', u'postgresql_psycopg2', u'sqlite3' Any idea what I have missed?
