Error in roundcube logging

When roundcube try to log something this error appears:

PHP:

FastCGI sent in stderr:

File permissions are set automatically by ispconfig (when it archives old log files and create new).

 

Ok, in this case which software are responsible for this? Because according to file permissions the oldest log are always belongs to `ispapps`:

 

Ok, I found the program responsible for rotating the logs, its `logrotate.d`, also I found the `logrotate` config which is responsible for rotating the roundcube logs (located at `/etc/logrotate.d/roundcube-core`). So the question is, is ISPConfig responsible for managing this configuration, or is it created by the roundcube package install script with apt?

 

You do not say what OS you are running, but if it has apt commands this should work to show from what package a file comes from:

Code:

# dpkg --search /etc/logrotate.d/roundcube-core
roundcube-core: /etc/logrotate.d/roundcube-core

I ran that on Debian 12, you should run the command on your system to be sure.

 

I am using Ubuntu 24.04
My output is the same:

Code:

# dpkg --search /etc/logrotate.d/roundcube-core
roundcube-core: /etc/logrotate.d/roundcube-core

So, in conclusion, this file was created by the roundcube installation script, the contents of the file are:

Code:

# extension used for log filenames (default: ".log") is configurable
# with $config['log_file_ext'].
/var/log/roundcube/*.log
/var/log/roundcube/errors
/var/log/roundcube/sendmail
/var/log/roundcube/session
/var/log/roundcube/userlogins
{
  create 0640 www-data adm
  compress
  delaycompress
  missingok
  notifempty
  rotate 14
  daily
}

By default, roundcube thinks it was started with www-data, but ISPConfig configured it to start with `ispapps:ispapps`, so it can't access the logs.

So I think in this case ISPConfig when configuring Roundcube should replace:

Code:

create 0640 www-data adm

with:

Code:

create 0640 ispapps ispapps

or following best practices:

Code:

create 0640 ispapps adm

in `/etc/logrotate.d/roundcube-core` to avoid this problem with new installations and some way to fix it for existing ones when they are updated to a patched version of ISPConfig.

@till What do you think about this?
