--- Comment #46 from David Cook <[email protected]> --- I have some thoughts on this one. Firstly, why are we using Log::Log4perl::Appender::File at all? It doesn't make sense, unless you're going to be logging to custom files independent of your webserver. Since we're already leveraging the log file directives of Apache or Starman and expecting to use their log files, let's just use Log::Log4perl::Appender::Screen and set log4perl.appender.Screen.stderr = 1 to log to STDERR. Easy as. Then the log files would be handled automagically by the web servers. If we, for some reason, must use Log::Log4perl::Appender::File, then let's use application-specific webserver-independent log files. So that's probably what we *should* do. Let's look at what we're currently doing... -- Looking at /etc/logrotate.d/koha-common, it looks like "sharedscripts" will imply "create" which in the absence of configuration will use the existing file attributes. That explains why the rotated log files are the same as the ones that came before them. (The only issue there would be if you switched from Apache to Plack and didn't chmod the files in the process I suppose.) I took a look at ./etc/log4perl.conf and ./debian/templates/log4perl-site.conf.in, and it looks like the defaults are the Apache logs. I suppose that is technically OK if Apache is running Koha as a set of CGI scripts, but really doesn't make sense if you're running Koha as a PSGI app. -- In summary, I think the issue is with our Log4Perl default configuration, and not a permissions issue per se. I'm looking at a Koha running Plack at the moment, and it looks like the Log4Perl appenders aren't even used. I'm guessing that they silently fail since the Starman user can't write to the root owned Apache files. -- Alas, I don't have time to work on this, but that's my 2 cents. I'd say the easiest solution is to change to Log::Log4perl::Appender::Screen and set log4perl.appender.Screen.stderr = 1, and then not worry about managing the log files outside the web servers. -- You are receiving this mail because: You are watching all bug changes. _______________________________________________ Koha-bugs mailing list [email protected] https://lists.koha-community.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/koha-bugs website : http://www.koha-community.org/ git : http://git.koha-community.org/ bugs : http://bugs.koha-community.org/
