@icewind1991 What do you think? |
|
while this is not really meaningful - not really a critical issue. let's have a look at this some point in time. |
|
I agree that it's not important, just wanted to have it documented. Maybe a junior job? Or maybe I'll get around to look into this myself at some point ;) |
|
I fixed it by moving the log file off of my external drive. in config.php, 'logfile' => '/var/www/owncloud/log/owncloud.log', chown www-data:www-data to the log directory as well. I believe this may be due to "touch" returning permission denied on external drives. Moving to an internal drive fixed the problem. |

I'm seeing this issue. I'm not using an external drive. |

The solution is to create a "data" directory within your Windows owncloud directory. For whatever reason, that directory doesn't exist but it's the directory where Owncloud expects to find the log. |

If someone is taking over to debug this note the recent discussion/comments in #15992 |
|
I am also seeing this issue, it seems to happen when I have any logging settings (like log type or log file) in the config.php -- if I just remove them entirely (so as to use the defaults) it seems to work -- most of the time at least. |

This error is gone, but there is now a new one - see #13736 |
When installing ownCloud the first time the first thing that an admin saw was an error message: > Error PHP touch(): Unable to create file owncloud.log because Permission denied at /var/www/owncloud/lib/private/log/owncloud.php#48 Or something related. This lead to a lot confusion as can be seen in our forum and in our issue tracker. This change should make the error messages disappear in most cases (e.g. where the file can actually be written). To test this: 1. On master install ownCloud and check owncloud.log => Error message 2. On this branch install ownCloud and check owncloud.log => No error message Fixes #13736 and #12893

Seeing this issue as well on my Qnap TS453S Pro with MariaDB and owncloud installed from AppCenter repository |

Steps to reproduce
Expected behaviour
No log entries, or at least none indicating any problem if everything went ok.
Actual behaviour
Even if everything went perfectly, there is a message stating that the log file could not be written (in the logfile itself) - quite the paradox ;) (see below for message).
