AWS Lightsail Django Bitnami : Operational Error- Attempt to write read only database

Question

I have a website that is completely functional in development, however, I'm unable to configure the server permissions for my .sqlite3database file, so as to allow database changes eg Login, and Register. I'm using the bitnami stack for Django on AWS lightsail and I would appreciate help on the matter. Thanks !

Bitnami developer here!

Django stack uses Apache as its server, which is configured to delegate those requests to a Python daemon process.

It may be the case that if you were using a venv or extra python configuration, you'd have to adapt the virtual host configuration file to take that into account.

$ cat /opt/bitnami/apache2/conf/vhosts/myapp-http-vhost.conf
...
SGIDaemonProcess APPNAME python-home=/opt/bitnami/python python-path=/opt/bitnami/projects/APPNAME
