将Django连接到MongoLab数据库

Question

我目前正在运行Django 1.4.3，我想连接我自己的数据库(用MongoLab创建)，以便与我的Django网站对话。我已经尝试了许多关于如何实现这一点的教程；我在Django settings.py文件中遇到的问题是，我的数据库设置不正确(因为无法连接)。我对Django和MongoDB非常陌生，所以任何帮助都将不胜感激。

下面是我所遵循的教程之一：http://www.allbuttonspressed.com/blog/django/2010/05/MongoDB-backend-for-Django-nonrel-released

注意:如果这件事重要的话，我正在使用Mac和终端来编程。

下面是我的settings.py中的麻烦区域(大多数是由Django自动生成的)

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        #'ENGINE': 'django_mongodb_engine', ### This wasn't working ###
        'ENGINE': '',
        'NAME': '',                      # Or path to database file if using sq$
        'USER': '',                      # Not used with sqlite3.
        'PASSWORD': '',                  # Not used with sqlite3.
        'HOST': '',                      # Set to empty string for localhost. N$
        'PORT': '',                      # Set to empty string for default. Not$
    }
}

以下是错误消息：

    # It might be irritating that django-mongodb-engine registers itself as an app,

    # django-mongodb-engine provides a way to set MongoDB-specific options for a
    # certain model via the 'MongoMeta' class/attribute (similar to the Django-style
    # 'Meta' class).  We want those options to be copied into the model's
    # '_meta' object, right after the class has been defined.
    # For this, we have to listen to the 'class_prepared' signal from
    # 'django.db.models.signals'. Because the 'django_mongodb_engine' module gets
    # imported as part of the initialization process of Django's ORM ('django.db'),
    # we can *not* import anything from 'django.db' in this file (or any other
    # submodule that is imported while the ORM initialization) because that would
    # get us into recursive import hell which the Python interpreter doesn't allow.
    # The only way to make sure certain code is executed after Django's ORM has been
    # initialized is registering an app. After initializing itself, Django imports
    # all apps defined in the project's 'settings.py' in the order implied by
    # iterating over the INSTALLED_APPS list. As we have to make sure that
    # django-mongodb-engine is loaded very first, we prepend it to the list.

Answer 1

好像是个虫子。

检查本报告。

如果您遵循这些链接，开发人员这里说：

mongodb-engine目前不支持django 1.4。所以坚持1.3。

这是昨天的评论。所以，您使用的Django版本是不兼容的。

Answer 2

您需要配置设置文件中的值。如您所见，它们大多是空字符串。MongoLab将为您创建的数据库提供主页上所需的所有连接信息。
