python3 manage.py createsuperuser

[Osvaldovegaoses]

Hello. I need to resolve a situation. I follow all the steps to install django openlitespeed and getting to createsuperuser it doesn't allow to create it: 59: cannot create /usr/local/lsws/admin/mis
c/../conf/htpasswd: Permission denied

Not sure why the createsuperuser has anything to do with the OLS web admin password file. You might want to check the permission of the django folder if it has the proper user:group. Maybe you can share the OS name, and share the folder list with permissions.

Try to change demo folder permission with nobody:nogroup, then check createsuperuser command again to see if it works.

chown -R nobody:nogroup /usr/local/lsws/Example/html/demo

the result:

chown -R nobody:nogroup /usr/local/lsws/Example/html/demo

The above exception was the direct cause of the following exception:

I changed all the permissions and I got a good result, this is an extreme solution to a problem. Then everything returns to the state of origin

Shouldn't need to change the write permission. If you have another fresh VPS or if you want to reinstall the server, please try the script method: https://github.com/litespeedtech/ls...jango-Image#what-if-i-want-to-use-it-directly next time. It should save you time.
