Accepted Answer

Your Apache user does not have the rights needed to write to your database.

Modify your `settings.py` so that it shows an absolute path for your database, for example:

```
DATABASE_NAME = '/var/www/dashboardapp/whatever/path/db.sqlite3'
```

Then type the following commands at the Linux prompt to set the correct privileges:

```
chown www-data /var/www/dashboardapp/whatever/path/
chown www-data /var/www/dashboardapp/whatever/path/db.sqlite3
```
