Please supply the ENGINE value Django database configuration

问题

Guys i'm so confused i've installed Django, and run the server ok, but when try to configure the database an run the db sync command it crash returning the my ENGINE parameter is not OK, but the settings file is OK. Follow the settings file:

    DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
        'NAME': 'mysite',                      # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
        'USER': 'root',                      # 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.
    }
}

And the Error:

 Traceback (most recent call last):
  File "manage.py", line 10, in <module>
    execute_from_command_line(sys.argv)
  File "/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/core/management/__init__.py", line 443, in execute_from_command_line

Thanks in advance!

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
        'NAME': 'mysite',
        'USER': 'mysite',
        'PASSWORD': '',
        'HOST': 'localhost',
        'PORT': '3306',
     }
}

use above settings please check for grant permission for mysql user and specify host and port.

I know this post is ancient, but I just encountered the same error. For me, the issue was with a mismatch with USER and PASSWORD. I eventually just went into the database and manually reset the password, and then put the new password in the script. This fixed the problem for me.
