✅

You should change your database name to an absolute path, so

'NAME': 'home/ubuntu/cs462/mysite/db.sqlite3',

in your settings.py should be changed to:

'NAME': '/home/ubuntu/cs462/mysite/db.sqlite3',

note the slash before home. Then,

sudo chown www-data /home/ubuntu/cs462/mysite/

should do it. If the database is already created, you should also run

sudo chown www-data /home/ubuntu/cs462/mysite/db.sqlite3
