Django: Attempt to write a read-only database

Question

I have just created a Django project with

python manage.py startapp smartrecruitment

I then ran a db sync

 python manage.py syncdb
 Operations to perform:
 Apply all migrations: admin, contenttypes, auth, sessions
 Running migrations:
   Applying contenttypes.0001_initial... OK
   Applying auth.0001_initial... OK
   Applying admin.0001_initial... OK
   Applying sessions.0001_initial... OK

And added my superuser, but I cannot access /admin in the browser. I have tried doing the following commands to give apache permissions, but have had no luck.

sudo chown apache <folder_containing_db.sqlite3>
sudo chown apache db.sqlite3

Answer 1

change owner of the project directory and database file www-data

chown www-data:www-data /home/username/Django    
chown www-data:www-data /home/username/Django/db.sqlite
