[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/home/details'

plz help me as i dont know how to solve this problem...

thanks in advance

You need to check permissions on your `MEDIA_ROOT` located in `settings.py`. If you haven't set up media configuration you need to do that before you can start uploading images. — haki, Jan 27 '15 at 07:41

<form action="your_url" method="post" enctype="multipart/form-data">

Check if you have included enctype in your form.

The permission denied error is because of write permission to your upload path. check this [link] (http://stackoverflow.com/questions/11392309/django-mod-wsgi-oserror-errno-13-permission-denied-static-when-debug-off) – Dan Jan 28 '15 at 04:09
