[Question #217785]: Graphite 0.9.10: settings.DATABASES is improperly configured

Hello,

I'm installing graphite 0.9.10 on Debian wheezy (testing) server.  All dependencies are met, installation was smooth. But when I run web interface I got a bunch of green error messages and the main error at the end, as I understand, is:

File "/usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/django/db/backends/dummy/base.py", line 15, in complain
    raise ImproperlyConfigured("settings.DATABASES is improperly configured. "
ImproperlyConfigured: settings.DATABASES is improperly configured. Please supply the ENGINE value. Check settings documentation for more details.

I found that the new database setting could be done in /opt/graphite/webapp/graphite/local.settings.py and I uncommented the following there:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'NAME': '/opt/graphite/storage/graphite.db',
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqlite3',
        'USER': '',
        'PASSWORD': '',
        'HOST': '',
        'PORT': ''
    }
}

But, I do not see database file /opt/graphite/storage/graphite.db , so, these settings didn't help. Looks like sqlite database /opt/graphite/storage/graphite.db was not created during the installation for some reasons. How can I creat it now?

(I have graphite 0.9.9 installed and running and I didn't had such a problems with that version).

Thanks,
  Alexandr
