If you want to use MySQL you can configure your own database by doing:
helicopter:~# mysql -u root -pMYPASSWORD
CREATE DATABASE sanet;
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON sanet.* TO 'sanet'@'%' IDENTIFIED BY 'sanet';
GRANT ALL PRIVILEGES ON sanet.* TO 'sanet'@'localhost' IDENTIFIED BY 'sanet';
FLUSH PRIVILEGES;
User name and database name MUST match the ones provided in settings.py (see Configuration)
