the sqlite database directory has been given access to server (www-data) like : sudo chown www-data /home/naveen/venv-review/reviewboard/data

Does www-data should have read/write access of site , reviewboard, if it is the case ?

checking apache2 user

ps aux | grep apache2

Answer 1

The sqlite3 file, not only the directory, have to be owned and have to be writeable by the user running the web server.

so you may try running, from a terminal shell:

sudo chown -R www-data /home/naveen/venv-review/reviewboard/data
sudo chmod -R u+w /home/naveen/venv-review/reviewboard/data/*

the first command recursively change the owner of the files inside the folder, the second one ensures the users have writing permissions on these files.
