I'm thinking there's been a misunderstanding which we also need to
clear up on the install instructions. Unless you have a particular
need for postgresql from Django, you don't have to change the
DATABASE_* configuration properties. Try with the default values:

# Database settings
DATABASE_ENGINE = 'sqlite3'    # 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
DATABASE_NAME = 'db.sqlite3'   # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
DATABASE_USER = ''             # Not used with sqlite3.
DATABASE_PASSWORD = ''         # Not used with sqlite3.
DATABASE_HOST = ''             # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
DATABASE_PORT = ''             # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.

and see how things work for you.
