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

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

I had the same problem, just solved it. Make sure www-data (or whatever daemon running your web server) has access to both the db.sqlite3 file, and also the path to it. So:

sudo chown :www-data /
sudo chown :www-data /db.sqlite3
sudo chmod 664 /db.sqlite3
