In any client's FTP environment, the log symlink keeps getting removed and replaced by an empty log directory. I found this on the subject: http://bugtracker.ispconfig.org/index.php?do=details&task_id=2774 not a bug... ok. get help on the forums with configuration problems of my server... that's a bit harsh considering I was perfectly happy with the symlink before it got changed, the reason is apparently that chrooted users cannot access the logs through the symlink. I fail to see how removing that ability for everybody is an improvement... except, of course, if a better way is provided. So how can access to the logs from FTP be restored? Thank you
Access to ftp logs works fine, just tested it with ispconfig 3.0.5.3 here on a server. So what you complain here about is a configuration issue of your server and not a issue in ispconfig. The new method to bind mount the log directory instead of symlinking it works much better and even for chrooted users then the old version btw. Check if the log files are written correctly in /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/domain.tld and that the bind mounts for the logfile directorys whch point to the actual directory /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/domain.tld in /etc/fstab exist.
I upgraded to 3.0.5.3 recently and all I can see is an empty dir. The logs are written correctly in /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/domain.tld , that where I used to point the symlink to. isn't the upgrade process setting the correct bind mounts?
The symlinks are removed and replaced by a fstab entry when a website gets udated the next time e.g. when you edit and save it.Untl then, the symlinks will stay in place. This is done transparently and automatically, so you normally wont recognize this change except that the logs start to be accessible by chrooted ssh users. Take a look at /etc/fstab, you should see a line in there like this: Code: /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/test.int /var/www/clients/client0/web1/log none bind,nobootwait 0 0 for each log directory after it was converted. Dont expect to see all dirs there already as the conversion takes place when a site gets edited, not when you update ispconfig.
Yes, I see this line: Code: /var/log/ispconfig/httpd/domain.com /var/www/clients/client1/web1/log none bind,nobootwait 0 0 but ...web1/log is empty under FTP. does something need to be restarted after the upgrade?
permission denied of course, I'm on a virtual server. maybe an option in ISPC is needed: mount or symlink
You can do bind mounts on virtual servers as well. All my srvers are virtualized and I install ispconfig on client systems daily were many of them are virtualized as well, the bind mount worked on all of them. You should contact your host about this isue, mos likely they block something on your server.
Did not know that someone is still using it, no news since 2009. For a slim linux kernel based virtualisation, you might want to check out OpenVZ. I use it for several yaers on my servers, works great.
unfortunately, I must use what my host offers. They also have KVM, but only in bigger packages and it costs double! Or is it easy to completely separate operations between 2 IPs on the same Vserver, with different hostname and all?
there can only be one hostname in a operating system instance. so if you add 2 IP addresses to the same instance, they will share the same IP adress.
