django.db.utils.OperationalError: unable to open database file

Question

When I run

python manage.py runserver

I get this error

File \"/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/Django-1.10.1-py2.7.egg/django

Answer 1

Basically there are two answers, either user which running server don't have rights to open database file. You can try to fix this by:

sudo chown $(whoami):$(whoami) /path/to/dir/db/db.sqlite3

Or you don't have this file, you can create it by applying migrate command:

./manage.py migrate
