Unable to open database file

it should yes,
can you post your config around the database settings (settings.py) and
please verify the account running "syncdb" does have correct permissions.
other posts of this this kind have indicated either a permission issue or
pre-existing file.

thanks

Hi,
              This part is unchanged. This directory tree can be read and written by the user calling 'syncdb'. Is there any other permission required ?

Nothing is changed in the original files.

Thanks.

# Filesystem layout (all directores should end in a /)
WEB_DIR = dirname( abspath(__file__) ) + '/'
WEBAPP_DIR = dirname( dirname(WEB_DIR) ) + '/'
GRAPHITE_ROOT = dirname( dirname(WEBAPP_DIR) ) + '/'
CONTENT_DIR = WEBAPP_DIR + 'content/'
CSS_DIR = CONTENT_DIR + 'css/'
THIRDPARTY_DIR = WEB_DIR + 'thirdparty/'

CONF_DIR = os.environ.get('GRAPHITE_CONF_DIR', GRAPHITE_ROOT + 'conf/')
STORAGE_DIR = os.environ.get('GRAPHITE_STORAGE_DIR', GRAPHITE_ROOT + 'storage/')
LISTS_DIR = STORAGE_DIR + 'lists/'
INDEX_FILE = STORAGE_DIR + 'index'
WHITELIST_FILE = LISTS_DIR + 'whitelist'
LOG_DIR = STORAGE_DIR + 'log/webapp/'

Status shows Answered. Updating with this comment.

Hi mohan
I should have noticed this earlier. Since your using sudo permissions
should be fine. I don't see any db configuration in your post. Please
confirm you have a section in your config that looks like that referenced
in this doc:
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/1.2/ref/settings/#databases

Also please verify your django version: (1.4 is not yet supported)
https://docs.djangoproject.com/en/dev/ref/django-admin/#determining-the-version

Ok. This is the section I just updated. I created db/nio.db. syncdb doesn't succeed though.

DATABASES = {
    'default': {
        'ENGINE': 'django.db.backends.sqllite3', # Add 'postgresql_psycopg2', 'postgresql', 'mysql', 'sqlite3' or 'oracle'.
        'NAME': '/opt/graphite/storage/db/nio.db', # Or path to database file if using sqlite3.
        'USER': '', # Not used with sqlite3.
        'PASSWORD': '', # Not used with sqlite3.
        'HOST': '', # Set to empty string for localhost. Not used with sqlite3.
        'PORT': '', # Set to empty string for default. Not used with sqlite3.
    }
}

'user' that is trying 'syncdb' has read/write permission to this folder 'db'. Does it have anything to do with the user 'www-data'

drwxrwxr-x 2 user user 4096 2012-04-02 22:28 db

The version of django is 1.3.

/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/django/conf/project_template/settings.py:DATABASES = {
/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.6/django/conf/project_template/settings.py:DATABASES = {
/usr/share/pyshared/django/conf/project_template/settings.py:DATABASES = {

Some more information. I am not using python2.6 because when I type 'python' I get the following prompt.

Python 2.7.2+ (default, Oct 4 2011, 20:03:08)
[GCC 4.6.1] on linux2

I have updated both the following files. Not sure which one is used though.

/usr/lib/pymodules/python2.7/django/conf/project_template/settings.py
/usr/share/pyshared/django/conf/project_template/settings.py

Can fu try creating sqlite db directly from python shell in another dir.
Then in target dir and see what happens. Not sure you need to modify any
files outside of the graphite dir. I can't comment on affects without
looking at the change more closely.

I am able to create a db in the target directory as well as in other directories. I created a db in the target directory and added a table and then tried to run syncdb. But unfortunately I got the same error.

Looks like there is a simple mistake somewhere.

Ok. Looks like I am not using the correct settings.py. The django users gave me a hint. Now I have specifically changed the settings.py in the graphite 'webapp' directory to an absolute path. It worked.

Thanks for your patience brinley.

As far as I know the variable GRAPHITE _STORAGE_DIR wasn't set anywhere. I used an absolute path /opt/graphite/storage/graphite.db instead of it in the settings.py

There are so many related questions in various forums.

Ah ok, yea it wasn't adding up to me. Glad a solution was found.
Take care
