Fixed #13267 -- Updated GeoDjango tutorial for the 1.4 release. Thanks samueladam for the report.

Configure ``settings.py``

-------------------------

The ``geodjango`` project settings are stored in the ``settings.py`` file. Edit

the database connection settings appropriately::

The ``geodjango`` project settings are stored in the ``geodjango/settings.py``

file. Edit the database connection settings appropriately::

    DATABASES = {

        'default': {

         }

    }

.. note::

    These database settings are for Django 1.2 and above.

In addition, modify the :setting:`INSTALLED_APPS` setting to include

:mod:`django.contrib.admin`, :mod:`django.contrib.gis`,

and ``world`` (our newly created application)::

        'django.contrib.contenttypes',

        'django.contrib.sessions',

        'django.contrib.sites',

        'django.contrib.messages',

        'django.contrib.staticfiles',

        'django.contrib.admin',

        'django.contrib.gis',

        'world'

Now, the world borders shapefile may be opened using GeoDjango's

:class:`~django.contrib.gis.gdal.DataSource` interface::

    >>> from django.contrib.gis.gdal import *

    >>> from django.contrib.gis.gdal import DataSource

    >>> ds = DataSource(world_shp)

    >>> print ds

    / ... /geodjango/world/data/TM_WORLD_BORDERS-0.3.shp (ESRI Shapefile)

a coordinate system specific to south Texas **only** and in units of

**meters** and not degrees::

    >>> from django.contrib.gis.geos import *

    >>> from django.contrib.gis.geos import Point, GEOSGeometry

    >>> pnt = Point(954158.1, 4215137.1, srid=32140)

Note that ``pnt`` may also be constructed with EWKT, an "extended" form of

    admin.site.register(WorldBorder, admin.GeoModelAdmin)

Next, edit your ``urls.py`` in the ``geodjango`` project folder to look

Next, edit your ``urls.py`` in the ``geodjango`` application folder to look

as follows::

    from django.conf.urls import patterns, url, include

    admin.autodiscover()

    urlpatterns = patterns('',

        (r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),

        url(r'^admin/', include(admin.site.urls)),

    )
