Hi,
Working on getting afterlogic setup on a new server of mine... I'm having a problem with the log files. Whenever I login to the admin area and go System > Logging > View Log, I always get this error...
Log file can't be read
I'm looking at my permissions and owners and as follows:
./data nginx:nginx 755
Which I believe is the correct setting as I followed the installation instructions carefully, and ran the installation wizard. At this point I'm kind of wondering what's going on? Any pointers?
Greg

Apparently, those permissions are not sufficient in your case of webserver configuration. Try setting those to 777 for testing purposes and see if it works for you.

Hi,
I set those to 777 and 666 as listed in the installation...
If the permission settings described above don't work for you, you may try to repeat "Assigning owners/permissions" step, but use 777 instead of 755 and 666 instead of 644 (although this is less secure).
And yet I still get the same error? Any ideas why this might be so? There are no log files in that folder either, so I'm not sure if I have to manually create them first or what?

Setting permissions to 777 is the only suggestion we have. Make sure you assign the permissions recursively, for example:
If the permissions allow for writing into the directory and its subdirectories, log files should be created just fine.

Hi,
Confirmed that directory recursively is 777. Yet still no log files. Two things I'm thinking...
1) Can you tell me the NAME of the actual files and I will manually create them and see if it can write to them after that?
2) I'm a running Nginx not apache. Is that an issue?
Help me out here I've tried your product and want to buy it if I can only get it to work.
Cheers
Greg

Log files are stored under data/logs/ directory and have the following filename pattern: log-YYYY-MM-DD.txt - for example, log-2015-09-07.txt
And no, using nginx shouldn't be a problem, it's the webserver solution we use ourselves in our mailserver bundles. The suggestion we have is to try changing directory ownership rather than permissions. Run the following command:
It will show nginx processes currently running, and user/group those run under. Using that information, change data directory ownership with a command like this:
Code:
| chown user:group -R /var/www/webmail/data/ |
|
|
- with properly supplied user, group, and path to the data directory.
Hope this helps!
