Mongoengine: ConnectionError: You have not defined a default connection

问题

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

To use django with MongoDB do not use the django package available on https://www.djangoproject.com and install other packages like mongoengine, if follow this process you will find lot of difficulties.

Rather you need to use the no@rel version of django that has been forked from djangoproject and added MongoDB support and I am sure it will make setup process and development process lot easier.

Follow this link to install and set up the django with MongoDB. http://django-mongodb-engine.readthedocs.org/en/latest/topics/setup.html

One more thing you may find the error below, while setting up django.

"*Error on Django-nonrel and MongoDB: AutoField (default primary key) values must be strings representing an ObjectId on MongoDB (got u'1' instead). Please make sure your SITE_ID contains a valid ObjectId string.*"

Follow this link to fix.

I have not tested this in-depth, but so far it worked for me:

mongoengine.connect('yourdb', alias='default')

回答3:

In your settings.py file replace:

mongoengine.connect(_MONGODB_NAME, 'localhost:27017')

with the below code (notice the added 'host='):

mongoengine.connect(_MONGODB_NAME, host='localhost:27017')
