OSError at /admin/pages/richtextpage/3/ [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/static'

Question

I am creating pages from admin in mezzanine and in description of page I want to show some images but when I am giving the images path and trying to save it , the page is throwing this error.

OSError at /admin/pages/richtextpage/3/

[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/static'

As I am using mezzanine so i haven't edit settings file for static root or url . The settings are as follows :

STATIC_URL = "/static/"
STATIC_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, STATIC_URL.strip("/"))
MEDIA_URL = STATIC_URL + "media/"
MEDIA_ROOT = os.path.join(PROJECT_ROOT, *MEDIA_URL.strip("/").split("/"))

However in front end everything is working fine.

This error are thrown because your web server (Apache, Nginx, etc.) haven't permission to write in /your_project/static/ directory. You need find out from what user web server process run and set permissions for this user to static directory.

But if the same thing is working fine at front end then why not admin ? because the server is same at both front and backend . – Inforian Jul 01 '14 at 11:29
Maybe you upload files in admin only? Or when you work with "front end" files uploaded in different place - /media/ directory. – Eugene Soldatov Jul 01 '14 at 12:18
so you need watch what permissions are set to "media" and set same permissions to "static" directory – Eugene Soldatov Jul 01 '14 at 13:49
