DatabaseError unable to open database file

My sqlite db file is this: unable to open database file i chowned all folders until my dbfile to root. but i am still getting this error. but i remember that while creating my django project on server, i created a superuser, and now if i do ls -l i see that the user is that superuser. how is it possible to tell apache that this superuser should have that right to write/read the db file? or how to solve the problem, i am not apache/linux guru..

You can find write group and www user and change permissions. Say: cat /etc/passwd - for find right user, It may be apache or http or www. And say to terminal: cat /etc/group -for find right group. In my system group=apache, user = apache.

Execute chown www-data:www-data directory on the directory you want apache to be able to write to.

You should be able to just leave the file as owned by the super user and just change the group so that apache can read/write it as well.

Change the group for the sqlite file and the containing directory. Try this:

cd <directory with sqlite file>
sudo chgrp www-data . <sqlitefile>
