I am trying to upload image through admin page, but it keeps saying:
[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/path/to/my/site/media/userfolder/2014/05/26'
the folders userfolder/2014/05/26
are created dynamically while uploading.
In Traceback, i found that the error is occuring during this command:
In /usr/lib64/python2.6/os.py Line 157. while calling
mkdir(name, mode)
meaning, it cannot create any folder as it doesnot have the permission to do this
I have OpenSuse as OS in Server. In httpd.conf, i have this:
<Directory /path/to/my/site/media>
Order allow,deny
Allow from all
</Directory>
Do I have to chmod or chown something?
Another option is to ensure the file is not open anywhere else on your machine.
This may also happen if you have a slash before the folder name:
path = '/folder1/folder2'
OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/folder1'
comes up with an error but this one works fine:
path = 'folder1/folder2'
Probably you are facing problem when a download request is made by the maybe_download function call in base.py file.
There is a conflict in the permissions of the temporary files and I myself couldn't work out a way to change the permissions, but was able to work around the problem.
Do the following...
Then it's all done. Hope it works for you.
supplementing @falsetru's answer : run id in the terminal to get your user_id and group_id
Go the directory/partition where you are facing the challenge. Open terminal, type id then press enter. This will show you your user_id and group_id
then type
chown -R user-id:group-id .
Replace user-id and group-id
. at the end indicates current partition / repository
// chown -R 1001:1001 . (that was my case)
Just close the file in case it is opened in the background. The error disappears by itself
Simply try:
sudo cp /source /destination
