You could add multiple databases for your app in your settings.py like,

DATABASES = { 'default': { 'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.mysql', 'NAME': 'admin_db', 'USER': 'root', 'PASSWORD': 'root', 'HOST': 'localhost', }, 'your_desired_db_name' : { 'ENGINE' : 'django_mongodb_engine', 'NAME' : 'db_name' }

For integration with mongodb, you may need to look up,

Also, you may need to look up Django documentation for multiple databases

i am using django1.8 and Django-MongoEngine is not used for django 1.8 so for integration i am using MongoEngine. so i need my setting.py file accoding to MongoEngine.

MongoEngine does not support all Django contrib modules directly. If your projects dont need them (unlikely) you can use mongoengine directly. Otherwise you can also try
