Re: how to tell apache to see my projects database file?

hey thanks, but i still dont get the whole mass. look, i chown all folders untill db file to root. nothing changed, the same error. i did ls -l but i dont see any user named 'www-data', i see the user that i created as superuser when i created the django project. how can i add this superuser to apache user group or something like this. i am actually not a linux guru, so i am really stuck here..

hey guys, i need your help again, 

after successful deployment, i wanted to do something with database but it says: 

DatabaseError at /ajax/

unable to open database file

because ajax is trying to write something to db. what can be the problem. in my settings.py the path is this: 

PROJECT_PATH = os.path.abspath(os.path.dirname(__file__))  

...

'NAME': os.path.join(PROJECT_PATH, 'stahlbank.db'),  

i am using sqlite. OS is linux. 

thanks

I think it's just a permissions problem, did you check the user is running apache has access to the database file? Anyway, it would easier help you with a full traceback.

If you change the Apache user or chown your files is up to you, but Apache it's not recommended (I think even it's not possible, I'm not an Apache expert) running as root due to security holes. If you look again your ps you probably will see something like this:

root     29833     1  0 May14 ?        00:00:46   /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data 15726 29833  0 May27 ?        00:00:00     /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data 15781 29833  0 May27 ?        00:00:04     /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start
www-data 15782 29833  0 May27 ?        00:00:04     /usr/sbin/apache2 -k start

where the www-data user is running your web application.
