Django-mssql not found error

Question

I am trying to create a django app using my backend db as MSSQL. I am trying to use this as the db engine. I used the settings as mentioned in the installation as follows:

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'NAME': 'texascompletes',
        'ENGINE': 'sqlserver_ado',
        'HOST': 'dbserver\\ss2008',
        'USER': '',
        'PASSWORD': '',                     # Set to empty string for default.
    }
}

But i am getting the following error:

django.core.exceptions.ImproperlyConfigured: 'sqlserver_ado' isn't an available database backend.
Try using django.db.backends.XXX, where XXX is one of:
  'dummy', 'mysql', 'oracle', 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'sqlite3'
Error was: No module named sqlserver_ado.base

I have followed this post and also installed the version that i use in my windows machine but the error still persists. What should i further look at to solve this issue?

can you check if the MSSQL python plugin has been installed properly? — ruddra, Jun 09 '14 at 07:17

The current version of django-mssql supports Django 1.6. If using an older version of Django, you will need to use an earlier version of django-mssql.

django-mssql 1.4 supports Django 1.4 and 1.5.
