Fix DEV Database Permissions

The Problem

SQLite needs write access to both the database file AND the directory it's in (to create temporary files like journals and WAL files).

Currently:

• ✅ Database file: data-dev/seismo_fleet.db - permissions fixed
• ❌ Directory: data-dev/ - still owned by root

The Fix

Run this command to fix the directory ownership:

sudo chown -R serversdown:serversdown /home/serversdown/sfm/seismo-fleet-manager/data-dev/

Then run the migration again:

python3 scripts/migrate_dev_db.py

Full Setup Commands

Here's the complete sequence:

cd /home/serversdown/sfm/seismo-fleet-manager

# Fix directory ownership (includes all files inside)
sudo chown -R serversdown:serversdown data-dev/

# Migrate schema
python3 scripts/migrate_dev_db.py

# Add test data
python3 scripts/add_test_slms.py
python3 scripts/add_test_modems.py

Verify It Worked

After running the migration, you should see:

Migrating DEV database to add SLM columns...
============================================================
✓ Added column: slm_host
✓ Added column: slm_tcp_port
✓ Added column: slm_model
✓ Added column: slm_serial_number
✓ Added column: slm_frequency_weighting
✓ Added column: slm_time_weighting
✓ Added column: slm_measurement_range

============================================================
DEV database migration completed!

Then the test data scripts should work without errors!
