Don't use relative path names in your code, you must use absolute path names. As the current working directory under Apache is usually '/', relative path names will resolve relative to that and not your site directory as with runserver. Thus, if you have simple 'index' in your code as relative path name, that will resolve to '/index' and because Apache user cannot write to '/' directory you will get an OSError like you are seeing.
