Did you install djongo? What does `pip freeze | grep djongo` output? — Red Cricket, Dec 23 '19 at 07:18

You should downgrade Django version to 2.2.8 and reinstall the project.

You can use mongoengine to connect django with mongodb and add above line in your settings.py file.

import mongoengine
import pymongo

HOST = 'localhost:27017'

mongoengine.connect(
    db='dbname',
    host=HOST,
    read_preference=pymongo.ReadPreference.PRIMARY_PREFERRED
)

and how aboat `DATABASES` in setting.py ? i should change it ? – Nozar Safari Dec 23 '19 at 09:40
You can leave it blank. I have used on server and I gave blank. But if you are trying on local host give sqlite3 which comes by default. – Vaibhav Mishra Dec 24 '19 at 06:28

2022: It seems djongo doesn't work with the latest versions (4.X) of django and pymongo, because I solved the issue with:

django==3.2.14
pymongo[srv]==3.12.3

python version also matters: for me python 3.8.14 works. Tested with the following dependencies.

Python==3.8.14
Django==3.2.15
djongo==1.3.6
Mongo==3.6
pymongo==3.12.3

I think latest version of djongo with Django 3.x.x works perfect but pymongo, Mongo, and Python must be kept same.
