command= 's3cmd -c .s3cfg del s3://project-bucket/images/testimage.jpg'
os.system(command)

when i run the project through django development server, it works fine. the image does get deleted.

but if i run on apache it does not work. the image does not get deleted. i checked the apache error logs, they are no errors in the apache log. please help.

Answer 1

Make sure the apache user has permission to write for all the images and folders you are deleting from.

Answer 2

the issue is resolved. gave 777 permissions to the .s3cfg file and now i am able to list the image as well as delete the image.
