I know people asked similar question before. But it’s all about the engine value. does any one know how do I solve this error with the NAME value?

    connect(
    db='test',
    username='user',
    password='12345',
    host='mongodb://admin:qwerty@localhost/production'
)

    and change the DATABASES to DATABASES = {} section in the settings.py

    If you do not want to configure a database because you are using mongoengine instead, then remove DATABASES from your settings entirely, or change it to an empty dictionary.

    DATABASES = {}

    If you do include any items in your DATABASES dictionary, then they must include the ENGINE, otherwise you’ll get the ImproperlyConfigured error.

    DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
        ...
    },
}
