-bash: ./manage.py: Permission denied

Question

After running: $ ./manage.py migrate I am getting the following error:

-bash: ./manage.py: Permission denied

Trying to run a migration after making a change in the DB. Any advice would be really appreciated.

Answer 1

You need to make manage.py executable to excecute it. Do chmod +x manage.py to make it excecutable. Alternately you can do python manage.py <cmd> instead.

Answer 2

To give yourself execute permission for the file containing the script use the command:

chmod u+rwx filename.py

To give other users permission to read and execute but not alter the shell script use:

chmod go+rx filename.py
