Sqlite permissions problem. - feat7 - Jun-11-2017
Hello there!
I just started writing in python. I am facing some issue regarding permissions to SQLite.
This is my repo
github.com/feat7/medium-scrapperAfter installation, as the data.db goes to /usr/local/lib/.... (in Ubuntu 16.04) I get some problem in writing to the database. If I simply use
sudo medium it will not work because I am using selenium (chromedriver) so it won't open as root. I made it work somehow by chmod 777 -R to that path, but I'll need to repeat every time I install it with setup.py. Please help me if I can do another way round.

If you just need to read/write to the database file just change its permissions. And the owner too
Fist, try with the owner
sudo chown user_name:user_name /path/database_file_nameAnd then try the program. If doesn't work change the permissions
sudo chmod 660 /path/database_file_name

As described already, I have done this. My problem is whenever I setup I need to repeat the procedure. I need some better approach, that's what I am looking.

The script is looking into the same directory where it is located. According to this:
BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)) db_path = os.path.join(BASE_DIR, "data.db") db = sqlite3.connect(db_path)I don't know what the installation does, but try to put the database file along with the scirpt
