You say you have taken it exactly from the tutorial but the error message is saying something else, and in such cases the error message is generally correct: really, the tutorial is not entirely broken so you have something that is not right but you have not given us enough information to help diagnose what it is. (That too is frustrating.) Also please indicate exactly what level of Django you are using. Why do you say 1.2 or higher? That's what I said to indicate what level you need in order to use the settings syntax you appear to be using but you ought to know exactly what you are using, and be able to state that. The fact that you are saying 1.2 or higher instead of stating exactly what you are using does not give me confidence that you know what level you are using. One of the reasons you would be getting the error message you are reporting is if you are in fact using 1.1 but trying to use 1.2 syntax for the database settings.
