OSError at /auth/after/ - [Errno 13] Permission denied: '.cache' (Ubuntu Server 2017.04)

See original GitHub issue

Hi!

I am trying to deploy the app in production but I am getting the follow error after I try to login with google credential (when google return to my page after successfully login):

Environment:


Request Method: GET
Request URL: http://e-vote.sorocaba.sp.gov.br/auth/after/?code=4/wrvcK1FReCoZOm-WZtT9EGzYur7qakoLF0VKoExYljM

Django Version: 1.8.18
Python Version: 2.7.13
Installed Applications:
('djangosecure',
 'django.contrib.sessions',
 'djcelery',
 'kombu.transport.django',
 'helios_auth',
 'helios',
 'server_ui')
Installed Middleware:
('djangosecure.middleware.SecurityMiddleware',
 'django.middleware.clickjacking.XFrameOptionsMiddleware',
 'django.middleware.common.CommonMiddleware',

Exception Type: OSError at /auth/after/
Exception Value: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '.cache'

I tried to use brutal force (besides knowing that isn’t the best solution) changing the directory’s permission where I deployed the app (chmod 777 -R /var/www/helios) but I still got this very same error.

The real question is: where is the caching folder that permission is denied?

My http.conf:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName e-vote.sorocaba.sp.gov.br
    ServerAdmin jecampos@sorocaba.sp.gov.br
    DocumentRoot /var/www/helios
#   DocumentRoot /usr/local/apache2/htdocs
#   Redirect / https://e-vote.sorocaba.sp.gov.br/

    WSGIScriptAlias / /var/www/helios/wsgi.py
    WSGIDaemonProcess   e-vote python-path=/var/www/helios/:/usr/local/lib/python2.7/dist-packages
    WSGIProcessGroup    e-vote

    Alias /booth /var/www/helios/sitestatic/booth
    Alias /verifier /var/www/helios/sitestatic/verifier

        <Files wsgi.py>
            Require all granted
        </Files>
    </Directory>

this looks to be a Django + web server permissions configuration issue, not specific to Helios. Closing this, please reopen if you think there’s something specific about Helios that is causing this.

@rdenadai I was using Ubuntu Server 2017.10.

@shirlei I’ve tried to chmod 777 -R /var/www/helios and it didn’t worked. Just the little hack above worked.
