Most likely you havent created a site yet, to do so you need to run the command

python manage.py syncdb

This creates the site, now you need to add its site_id in your settings file. Go get the site id, connect to mongodb engine that is running, and run the following commands

use mydatabase --/# or whatever name you have for your database.
db.django_site.find()

you will get something like

ObjectId("4f4e968adea3b3b30c00001d")

then in your settings file, put

site_id = u'4f4e968adea3b3b30c00001d'

and the admin interface should work. Does it?
