Using Ubuntu 7.10, vlogger 1.3-3 Vlogger is not creating any website access logs. error in apache error log: can't open /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/www.somesite.com/07092008-access.log at /usr/sbin/vlogger line 428, <STDIN> line 1. piped log program ' /usr/sbin/vlogger -s access.log /var/log/ispconfig/httpd' failed unexpectedly # ls ls /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/www.somesite.com/ error.log touching /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/www.somesite.com/07092008-access.log does not help either.. Any idea?
it looks like vlogger breaks on symlinked directories #ls -al /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/www.somesite.com lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 29 Jul 8 20:28 /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/www.somesite.com -> /var/clients/client0/web5/log replacing the link /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/www.somesite.com to a normal folder makes vlogger work. As vlogger runs as root, it's not permission problem. I'll report the bug on the bugtracker.. is it a vlogger bug? a vlogger security measure? I suppose ispconfig will have to work around it.
hmm these lines in the vlogger code seem to explain the symlink issue # chroot to the logdir chdir($LOGDIR); chroot(".");
