The configured LOGFILE can not be modified.

This is btw the place where the packaging sets these permissions (for Debian based platforms): https://stash.z-hub.io/projects/ZP/repos/z-push/browse/build/deb/debian.z-push-config-apache.postinst#27-36,43-44

For me is the problem fixed, but nevertheless it was not functioning inbetween of the installation process.

@WalterHof said in The configured LOGFILE can not be modified.:

chown www-data:www-data /var/lib/z-push /var/log/z-push

same for me : new installation -> Debian 9

[fbartels]

@mcdaniels Can you show which packages you have actually installed? (e.g. dpkg - l | grep z-push)

[mcdaniels]

@fbartels
sure:
z-push-backend-kopano 2.5.1+0-0
z-push-common 2.5.1+0-0
z-push-config-apache 2.5.1+0-0
z-push-ipc-sharedmemory 2.5.1+0-0
z-push-kopano 2.5.1+0-0

[fbartels]

@mcdaniels in that case you should not have had the need to chown the directory, as this action is part of the postinst action of z-push-config-apache.

[mcdaniels]

@fbartels: Strange, but the errormessage while installing via apt-get was the same as mentioned in this thread. Did the chown. It is working now.

@fbartels That is a nice, but wrong example.

set_perms www-data www-data 700 /var/lib/z-push
set_perms www-data www-data 700 /var/log/z-push

should be

set_perms www-data adm 750 /var/lib/z-push
set_perms www-data adm 750 /var/log/z-push

Confirm debian policy. ;-)

install -d /var/lib/z-push -o www-data -g adm -m 750
install -d /var/log/z-push -o www-data -g adm -m 750

where user/group should be the variable to set to match the correct user/group per distro.

[fbartels]

@thctlo your version may include more Debianisms (the adm group), but in the end achieves the same. The www-data user needs read/write permissions.

So I would not say the current way is “wrong”.

[thctlo]

yes, i do, because the "administrative group " adm, should have read access.
which is/was in Red Hat : wheel
but i can not confirm it that is still.
