To use one of my favorite literary quotes: Curiouser and curiouser ! Just to rule out a simple file permissions issue, I looked at the path to the log file:
Here's the before: drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 Mar 19 15:54 /var drwx------ 24 root root 4096 May 23 04:02 /var/log drwxr-xr-x 7 apache apache 4096 May 20 04:02 /var/log/cobbler/ -rw-r--r-- 1 apache apache 1234 May 23 09:54 /var/log/cobbler/cobbler.log So, I do this: drwxrwxrwx 24 root root 4096 Mar 19 15:54 /var drwxr-xr-x 24 root root 4096 May 23 04:02 /var/log drwxrwxrwx 7 apache apache 4096 May 20 04:02 /var/log/cobbler/ -rw-rw-rw- 1 apache apache 844 May 23 09:48 /var/log/cobbler/cobbler.log and the interface re-appears ! Now comes the weirdness: The interface continues to work/behave after I set the permissions back !
