I've tried to set up the database as sqlite3. I keep getting an error
on the ENGINE line, but can't figure out why as it looks correct.
Here is the database section:
DATABASES = {
'default': {
'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
'NAME': '/usr/bin/sqlite3/mark.db', # Or path to database
file if using sqlite3
'USER': '', # Not used with sqlite3.
'PASSWORD': '', # Not used with sqlite3.
'HOST': '', # Set to empty string for
localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
'PORT': '', # Set to empty string for
default. Not used with sqlite3.
}
}
And here is the error I receive:

documentation for more details.
Well your DATABASES settings look fine (except of the path of the NAME
entry as others have already pointed out.
To be very sure there are no permission problems
Do you get the error already when running the command
python manage.py syncdb
For testing you could add following line as LAST line in settings.py
print 'DATABASES = %r' % DATABASES
and paste the results to your next answer.
Printing with %r has also the advantage of revealing any hidden characters.
Are you sure, that django uses the setting.py file, that you modified???
If you're not sure, than add following line as the FIRST line in settings.py
a = 1 / 0
If Django fails now with a division by zero you're sure it's using the
file you think it's using and you can remove this line again.
