Comment:
I'm not the original reporter, but I've just encountered this problem.
Mac OS X 10.4.10 (Intel)
Python 2.3.5 (#1, Aug 19 2006, 21:31:42)
Steps taken:
1. Download Django 0.96
(http://www.djangoproject.com/download/0.96/tarball/) into
/Users/pauldwaite/Desktop/
2. {{{
cd ~/Desktop
tar xzvf Django-0.96.tar.gz
cd Django-0.96
sudo python setup.py install
}}}
After this, /Library/Python/2.3/site-packages/django/ is present and
correct. But /Library/Python/2.3/site-packages/django/bin/django-admin.py
has the permissions -rw-r--r--, so this command:
{{{
/Library/Python/2.3/site-packages/django/bin/django-admin.py startproject
mysite
}}}
Returns "Permission denied", even when the user has permissions for the
directory they're in.
Adding execute permissions for django-admin.py's group (i.e. admin) fixes
this problem:
{{{
sudo chmod g+x /Library/Python/2.3/site-packages/django/bin/django-
admin.py
}}}
