In my new Django project I set up a MongoDb database and use mongoengine module but I can't properly access to dabase nore in shell no in views. "ConnectionError: You have not defined a default connection"
My settings.py includes the following:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql',
'NAME': 'DaTaBaSe',
'USER': 'root',
'PASSWORD': '',
'HOST': 'localhost',
'PORT': '3306',
},
'tracking': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.dummy',
'NAME': 'analytics',
}
}
import mongoengine
SESSION_ENGINE = 'mongoengine.django.sessions'
mongoengine.connect(_MONGODB_NAME, 'localhost:27017')
AUTHENTICATION_BACKENDS = (
'mongoengine.django.auth.MongoEngineBackend',
)
in models.py import mongoengine
from mongoengine import *
from myproject.settings import _MONGODB_NAME
mongoengine.connect(_MONGODB_NAME, 'localhost:27017')
Thanks you in advance for your help
I have not tested this in-depth, but so far it worked for me:
mongoengine.connect('yourdb', alias='default')
