OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/www/staticfiles/images'

and I also try sudo python manage.py collectstatic

>File "manage.py", line 17, in <module>
    "Couldn't import Django. Are you sure it's installed and "
ImportError: Couldn't import Django. Are you sure it's installed and available on your PYTHONPATH environment variable? Did you forget to activate a virtual environment?

and here is my setting.py

STATIC_URL = '/static/'
STATICFILES_DIRS = [
    os.path.join(BASE_DIR, 'static'),
] 
STATIC_ROOT = '/var/www/staticfiles'

Answer 1

Give the permission necessary to the folder /var/www/staticfiles:

chmod -R 755 /var/www/staticfiles

As mentioned in the comments, is not recommended give permission 777 to all users , instead try changing the owner of the folder with chown -R your_user your_file
