I have a python script I am running with a post request. The script is located in my cgi-bin and at the end of the script I am trying to upload a file to the /var/www/html/ folder and I am doing it like this
myFile= open("/var/www/html/file.html","w")
myFile.write("<html><body><p>test</p></body></html>")
myFile.close()
But I keep getting
<type 'exceptions.IOError'>: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/www/html/file.html'
What is going wrong?
The error itself is already clear, your don't have enough permission to write to /var/www/html. It might be related the owner of the directory. If the owner is another user, then your current user don't have the write permission to the directory, the error would occur.

I am executing os.listdir() from Python CGI script. Script executes from console with no problem but when it is called from the web interface I get OSError errno 13 Permission Denied. It is denying permission to files in a different directory /usr/local/bin/ I checked permission levels and even changed owner and group to apache. I Even added Apache Directory configurations to allow all in ssl.conf file. Any thoughts? Thank you all in advance for the guidance.
I have a server set up on apache.
So when i run it and i upload a few files from a different machine. The server crashes here..
os.makedirs('data/%d' % stat.id)
The server crashes and it gives me this error
[Errno 13] Permission denied: 'data'
I have googled it and looked at other posts, I tried, but nothing works.
I have tried changing the group and chmod, chown..
Apache was making a directory under root.
I had to change the directory and it works.
os.chdir('...')
And when i create directory, its fine.
I am trying to copy files from one user's home directory to another user's home directory in PYTHON. Problem is I get access denied due to the user permissions. Is there a way to elevate the permissions in linux for the PYTHON user?
I tried copying files using distutils.file_util.copy_file() and shutil.copyfile() but I get: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/testuser/test.txt' any ideas?
There is no PYTHON user, your Python process will be run with the permissions of the user who executed the script. If you need to run your script with different permissions use sudo to run the script as root or some other user that has read permission on the source directory and write permission on the destination.
I'm working on creating a form with which the user can upload an image and I get this error:
[Errno 13] Permission denied:
Can someone provide some guidance on what I would need to change (keeping in mind I'm running the development server on windows) for it to work? Is it something in settings.py or do I need to change the permissions of the directory that files are uploaded to?
[Errno 13] Permission denied is a Python OSError:
It is raised when a function returns a system-related error (not for illegal argument types or other incidental errors).
The number 13 means Permission denied, the user who launch your app doesn't have access in write to the folder where you want to upload.
Hey everybody, I am just newbie at Python. I wanted to write a script in Python to change DNS.
But I learned that resolv.conf is read-only file, after writing that code. Because I took that error: IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/resolv.conf'
myFile= open("/etc/resolv.conf", "w")
Then, I made a little search and found os.chmode() and I wrote a new line to remove all privileges of resolv.conf which is:
os.chmod("/etc/resolv.conf", 0777)
But now I'm taking that error: IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/etc/resolv.conf'
I can't get over this question and I'm waiting for your advices.
Thank you.
/etc/resolv.conf is typically owned by root. Unless your script is run in such a way that it has root privileges, it won't be able to change the file.
Chmod you must run as root before your script. And when you get permissions, your script will run without errors
You should never allow for a file like resolv.conf to be writable by all. It looks like you were chmod'ing it, or trying to anyway, to 777. That's really bad. There is a lot someone could do by changing a resolver on a host and making that host point to systems that were setup for malicious reasons. For example, one could have their own LDAP server, and by changing resolv.conf point a system at their resolver, and at their LDAP server, thereby possibly gaining privileged levels of access.
Keep this file locked down at all times.
