You need to change the directory permission so that web server process can change the directory.

To change ownership of the directory, use chown:

chown -R user-id:group-id /path/to/the/directory

To see which user own the web server process (change httpd accordingly):

ps aux | grep httpd | grep -v grep

OR

ps -efl | grep httpd | grep -v grep

Just close the file in case it is opened in the background  The error disappears by itself

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

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

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      Download the four  gz files of the MNIST data set from the link   http   yann lecun com exdb mnist    Then make a folder names MNIST data  or your choice in your working directory  site packages folder in the tensorflow examples folder   Directly copy paste the files into the folder  Copy the address of the folder  it probably will be    C  Python Python35 Lib site-packages tensorflow examples tutorials mnist MNIST data     Change the     to     as     is used for escape characters  to access the folder locations  Lastly  if you are following the tutorials  your call function would be   mnist   input data read data sets  MNIST data    one hot True      change the  MNIST data   parameter to your folder location  As in my case would be   mnist   input data read data sets  C  Python Python35 Lib site-packages tensorflow examples tutorials mnist MNIST data   one hot True      Then it s all done  Hope it works for you
