I have a CentOS server on which I have Apache, Django, Django CMS and mod_wsgi.  My Django project files are stored in the `/srv` directory and I have SELinux turned on for security reasons.

I&#39;ve managed to successfully integrate Django-CMS into Django and when I visit the local IP, I see my pages.  However, when I try to visit &lt;my IP&gt;/admin (where I can start making use of the CMS functionality), I get `DatabaseError at /admin/ attempt to write a readonly database`.

Okay.

So, since I have a `.sqlite` file in my project folder, I ran a `ls -l` on it which returned: 

    -rw-r--r--.  1 root root 133120 Jan 5 11:53   DATABASE.sqlite

Okay, so I figured perhaps Apache couldn&#39;t read that file due to some permissions reasons so after a bunch of research on similar problems on Stackoverflow, I ran: 

    &gt; chmod 664 DATABASE.sqlite
    &gt; chown apache /srv/mysite
    &gt; chown apache /srv/mysite/DATABASE.sqlite

Now, the `ls -l` output reads: 

    -rw-rw-r--.  1 apache root 133120 Jan 5 11:53  DATABASE.sqlite

Unfortunately, I still get the same error when trying to access /admin on my Django app.  Any help would be greatly appreciated!  Probably something to do with SELinux permissions but I have no idea where to start in diagnosing what permissions issue is going on.

**EDIT:** 

I ran 

    &gt; chown apache:apache /srv/mysite
    &gt; chown apache:apache /srv/mysite/DATABASE.sqlite

and a quick `ls -l` reveals that the owner of the `mysite` directory and the `.sqlite` file is now `apache`.  However, I still get errors when trying to visit the `/admin` page.  I `chmod`ed the `/srv/mysite` directory to 757 and `DATABASE.sqlite` file to 756 because that&#39;s the best I can do to get the permissions to work out.  I was told that this is a security risk but I can&#39;t seem to figure out how to give it less permissions and get pass by `unable to read/open database file` errors.  Is it because of SELinux?

FYI, I&#39;m operating under a regular user account in CentOS and sudo whenever I need to elevate:

    [noblerare@localhost ]$
