Denied accsess to file [apache2, flask, python]

Question

Raspberian, apache2, python3, flask, I need to change network settings.

But when I try:

f = open('/etc/network/settings.txt', 'w') \
f.write('1234')

It gives me an error:

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/network/settings.txt'

I really dont understand what is going on.

I try to change apache2 settings :

<Directory />
    AllowOverride All
    Require all granted
    Allow from all
</Directory>

Add to apache2.conf and to /sites-avialable/webapp.conf , but it is doesn't work

Answer 1

Looks like you don't have write-access to /etc/network/settings.txt. You need to either run the script as root/sudo or give your account permission to write the file with chown and chmod.

Answer 2

1. Created file named settings.txt

   chmod 777 settings.txt

2. add to apache2/sites-enabled/webApp.conf:

   <Directory /etc/network/>
   Order deny,allow
   Allow from all
   </Directory>
