Django + PyOrient : db_create socket.timeout exception in EC2

Question

I'm using orientDB community version 2.2.35 and pyorient 1.5.5.

client.db_create(db_name, pyorient.DB_TYPE_GRAPH, pyorient.STORAGE_TYPE_PLOCAL)

This runs perfectly fine locally after starting the server.

But when I run the same code on an ec2 machine, it throws socket.timeout exception.

I initially thought it could be a CORS issue, but it's not. What else could be the issue?

Answer 1

Running the orientDB server using sudo command fixed the issue.

db_create() tries to modify OSystem/dirty.fl file and I got permission denied exception on server logs.

FileNotFoundException: /home/ubuntu/orientdb-community-2.2.35/databases/OSystem/dirty.fl (Permission denied)
