OSError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/lib/ckan/storage/uploads'

I installed ckan latest version from source and using tomcat7 instead of jetty.
but, When I tried to add a new organization, I got this error. There was an internal server error on the web, and this error occurred when I looked at the logs.

I don't know why this error occured. I already tried

sudo chown -R www-data /var/lib/ckan
sudo chmod -R u+rwx /var/lib/ckan

but, nothing was fixed. I think this is a problem with file uploads, but I already set up the guide as well please help me solve this error..

@dassolkim , are you running CKAN using apache? If not(i.e. you are using paster serve ..., then you need to change owner of /var/lib/ckan to you current user

@smotornyuk thank you for your advice!!!!
