Hi Sam,
it seems to be a problem with your log configuration, which is in
/usr/local/etc/openca/log.xml -
or which should be in this place. I had a look at my configuration and
there are two slots configured,
one for syslog and one for xml-formatted log files. I have commented out
the syslog-slot.
Maybe I ran into the same problem, but I don't remember. There might
also be something like
apparmor or selinux which prevents you from writing there.
In the xml-configuration you should have a "dir" and that directory must
exist and be writable
for the openca daemon. Sometimes you have to clean up the directory
structure. I have seen the
following problems, if the openca is running for a long time:
- you may run out of inodes (or possibly disk space if you run it in a
small VM)
- in rare cases there may be collisions of the id's, especially when you
ran in the above problem already
- the dbm files might get corrupted, e.g. when the machine is not shut
down cleanly due to power outage
an example log configuration:
cat /usr/local/etc/openca/log.xml
<openca>
<debug>0</debug>
<stderr>/usr/local/var/log/stderr.log</stderr>
<log>
<debug>0</debug>
<slots>
<!--
<slot>
<name>sys_syslog</name>
<class>*</class>
<level>*</level>
<logger>Syslog</logger>
<type>Sys</type>
<prefix>OpenCA PKI Log Message</prefix>
<facility>local6</facility>
<socket_type>unix</socket_type>
</slot>
-->
<slot>
<name>xml</name>
<class>*</class>
<level>*</level>
<logger>XML</logger>
<dir>/usr/local/var/log/xml</dir>
</slot>
</slots>
</log>
</openca>
best regards,
Martin
