Question
Permission Denied Django Gunicorn
The problem i’m facing is simple to present. I hope its solution is simple too.
I created my droplet with the django onclick installation. Worked perfect. I uploaded my own project, and got it working by tweaking the /etc/init/gunicorn.conf file accordingly to match my project python path and name. That also works.
Now, when I upload a file, via my views or using django admin, I get,
[Errno 13] Permission Denied
Did some reading (lots of them), figured how to check, (is it the group?) my directories. I compared the django_project folder with mine, and there are differences
Running
ls -lha
on /django_project/django_project
gives
drwxr-xr-x 3 django django 4.0K Jan 14 10:42 .
drwxr-xr-x 3 django django 4.0K Jan 14 10:42 ..
drwxr-xr-x 2 django django 4.0K Jan 29 15:11 django_project
-rw-r--r-- 1 django django 257 Jan 14 10:42 manage.py
Running same command in my project folder gives me:
drwxr-xr-x 14 root root 4.0K Jan 31 17:13 .
drwxr-xr-x 5 root root 4.0K Jan 31 17:13 ..

Question: How do I get gunicorn to have write access to my own project folder? Does it need to be in the django (group?) or what?
Please help.
