SQLiteException: [14] unable to open database file

I'm running a java web app on Ubuntu 16.04 using Tomcat 8.5.29 and trying to connect to a sqlite file named "settings.sqlite".

I get the error below. I'm not sure what is causing it. I've set the permissions to 777 for the entire tomcat folder and the file, but still I can't access it.

What else should I check?

Thanks.
