Hi all,

I'm trying to use the collectstatic command, python manage.py collectstatic, but I get :

PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/static'

Please can anyone help? I've been trying to fix this for two days now!

Here's the full error :

You are collecting to /static/ instead of say ~/path/to/your/project/static. You don't have write permissions for writing to /static

Thank you this is fixed!

how to fixed ?

Exactly as conrad suggested above.

i didn't understand

What value do you have STATIC_ROOT set to in your settings.py?

.

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(os.path.dirname(BASE_DIR), "static")
STATICFILES_DIRS = (
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static"),
)

[edit by admin: formatting]

In that case, are you sure you're actually getting the same error? What error are you getting?

Permission denied: '/static'

Can we take a look at your code? We can see it from our admin interface, but we always ask for permission first.

I keep getting server error when i try to upload images on my site. This is my static settings

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
MEDIA_URL = '/images/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static')]
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "static/")
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, '/static/images/')

So i turned my debug = True. and this is the error i'm seeing

[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/static'

How does your code dealing with that uploads look like?
