I am not able to access my admin in Django

Question

I have Ubuntu VM with Apache Server on which i am running my application. I have inserted some login and registration file using Filezilla.

But my registration, Login and admin page is not working. It is giving me

Exception Type: OperationalError
Exception Value: attempt to write a readonly database

I tried the following after doing some Stackoveflow. chown root db.sqlite3 . Unfortunately, I still get the same error when trying to access above page. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Probably something to do with changing user permission which i have no idea where to start in diagnosing what permission issue is going on.

Edit:

After giving the ownership to Apache User I am able to fix this issue. sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/www

Answer 1

Looks like your database is set to read-only permission. You have to give write permission to your sqlite3 db . you can use the chmod command for changing the file permission

sudo chmod 666 db.sqlite3 ( For read and write permission to every user).

6 indicates read and write permission(4+2)

• Read -------> 4
• Write -------> 2
• Execute ---> 1
