Hi!

I am deploying my django application on a server, and on last stages I am getting this error:

ExtractionError at /admin/

Can't extract file(s) to egg cache

The following error occurred while trying to extract file(s) to the Python egg
cache:

[Errno 13] Permission denied: '/.python-eggs'

The Python egg cache directory is currently set to:

/.python-eggs

Perhaps your account does not have write access to this directory?  You can
change the cache directory by setting the PYTHON_EGG_CACHE environment
variable to point to an accessible directory.

Request Method:     GET
Request URL:    http://go-ban.org/admin/
Exception Type:     ExtractionError
Exception Value:

Maybe someone come across similar issue?

The strangest thing here is that I am using another django site on this host with no such error :(

+5  A: 

Well, you are using some strange setuptools-enabled library.

But anyway, is there a problem for you to setup PYTHON_EGG_CACHE environment variable to any directory writable for application user?

+1: Set this env variable AND make that directory owned by the Apache user.
