Answer 1

I think, from the excerpt:

"/var/www/html/meusitedjango/lib/python3.4/site-packages/django/db/backends/sqlite3/base.py", line 328, in execute return Database.Cursor.execute(self, query, params) sqlite3.OperationalError: attempt to write a readonly database 

That your database is being used in readyonly mode.

try changing the directory and db Owner to www-data

chown www-data:www-data /home/username/Django    
chown www-data:www-data /home/username/Django/db.sqlite
