I am having an issue using Django Admin to upload an image to my production site.

I am running Apache HTTPD server with sqlite db.

Uploading works fine when running the development server, but when I attempt to add add a new entry to my site that includes an image I am greeted with the error:

PermissionError at /admin/homepage/jumbotron/add/

I've attempted to research this error to the best of my ability but I am at a lost now.

I have checked the file permissions including setting the group and owner to http http which is the user that apache httpd server is running under.

I went ahead and temporarily gave my static folder full permissions with chmod -R 777 and restarted the httpd server, but the error still remained. I did a full system restart as well.

The current file permissions are now:

drwxrwxr-x 8 http http 4096 Jul 3 16:48 static

I have tried other methods inside my setting.py like changing STATIC_URL to the full path or removing the first slash, so it's static/ and then restarting the server and nothing; no dice.

setting.py

BASE_DIR = os.path.dirname(os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(__file__)))

TEMPLATE_DIRS = [os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'templates'), ]

    },

STATIC_URL = 'static/'

I did some tweaks to the httpd.conf file and landed on these settings after trying Require all granted under the /static folder

httpd.conf

    <Directory /srv/http/blogsite/blogsite>

            Require all granted

class Jumbotron(models.Model):
    title = models.TextField(default="")
