SQLite error attempt to write to a read-only database - django

Question

I've been struggling to deploy my django project with Apache and mod_wsgi. I've had many problems that I managed to handle, but this one just seems not to be solvable.
I get the following error in my apache log when I enter the address setakshop.ir:8080 :

Now I googled this error and searched a lot, I mean a lot! I know that the db.sqlite file must have write permissions and it should be owned by apache ( www-data ), also the directory containing it must have write permissions and be owned by www-data. and I have done these two things. I don't have selinux installed, I've ran ./manage.py migrate, and I don't know what else I can do to make this work, I even chmoded both the directory and the db.sqlite file to 777 to just see if it will work, but it didn't and I know that's not a safe thing to do.
now for your information this is the folder containing the db.sqlite file:
