Question

I am trying to run a django project and the following error is displayed: ‘The session storage path ‘/home/billy/myapps/my_server/../my_server/sessions’ doesn’t exist. Please set your SESSION_FILE_PATH setting to an existing directory in which Django can store session data.’
I have tried googling out whats the problem but u have not found a specific answer to my problem. Any assistance is highly appreciated.

Thanks

Answer 1

The error message looks pretty clear to me. Solution 0:

1. Create the directory /home/billy/myapps/my_server/sessions

2. Figure what user runs Django, ie. with ps aux command,

3. Give rwx permissions to that user on that directory.

Solution 1: use database backed sessions – in that case remove settings.SESSION_ENGINE to restore the default.
