IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied How do I fix this?

Question

Iam newbie to python and keep on getting this error when run this script, I have given full permission to the file.

Traceback (most recent call last):

    File "/usr/local/bin/ftp_site.py", line 3, in <module>
        import anprint
      File "/usr/local/bin/anprint.py", line 17, in <module>
        hdlr = logging.FileHandler(LOG_FILENAME)
      File "/usr/lib/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 897, in __init__
        StreamHandler.__init__(self, self._open())
      File "/usr/lib/python2.7/logging/__init__.py", line 916, in _open
        stream = open(self.baseFilename, self.mode)
    IOError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/tmp/anpr_log'

I have recently upgraded from MYSQL to mariadb.

Script : anprint.py





def all_in_cam_ids_by_site_id(self,site_id):
    ret_list =[]
    sql = """SELECT .......WHERE carparks.id = "%s" AND in_out = 1 """ % site_id
    ret_val = self.cursor.execute(sql)
    if (ret_val > 0):
        ret_array = self.cursor.fetchall()
        for retId in ret_array:
            ret_list.append(retId[0])
    else:
        logging.error("No Cameras for Site id %s", site_id)

    return ret_list

Script has no permission to write into log file. Changing chmod of tmp/anpr_log should fix your issue:

sudo chmod +rw /tmp/anpr_log
