SuspiciousOperation :Attempted access to path default_storage django

Question

I'm trying to save a PDF into a folder in my project the folder has the permissions read, write when I try to save the PDF I get this error:

SuspiciousOperation: Attempted access to /opt/django_apps/inscripcion/solicitudes/filename

and this is my simple code:

 contenido = "Simple code"
 file_name = "/opt/django_apps/inscripcion/solicitudes/filename"
 path = default_storage.save(file_name, ContentFile(contenido))

I'm using python2.7 with mod_python and django1.3 on RedHat

Answer 1

The actual exception is raised in django/utils/_os.py on line 76:

raise ValueError('The joined path (%s) is located outside of the base '
                 'path component (%s)' % (final_path, base_path))

And base_path for default_storage is settings.MEDIA_ROOT.

I'd suggest creating FileSystemStorage with

file_storage = FileSystemStorage(location = '/opt/django_apps/inscripcion/solicitudes/')

And then

contenido = "Simple code"
file_name = "filename"
path = file_storage.save(file_name, ContentFile(contenido))
