django.db.utils.OperationalError: database is locked

Question

I moved a django project from eclipse (on windows) to a linux machine and tried to run it from the command line.

as soon as i did python manage.py runserver, I got : django.db.utils.OperationalError: database is locked

This is the first time I am running this project on linux (and sure enough, fuser on the cache.db file came up with nothing). I even tried clearning the contents of cache.db and running it, but I still get the same error

I did come across that question, but in my case, I have only 1 thread. So I dont think it is a concurrency issue — krzna, May 27 '16 at 17:32

In windows you can try to change the permission to the file or put the database file into a folder for setting the permission.

If the runerver command works, and after you run the error you can also increase the default timeout value by setting the timeout database option.

'OPTIONS': {
    # ...
    'timeout': 20,
    # ...
}
