Hi Alvaro, it seems that the nobody user is used to start the httpd on my AlmaLinux -------------------------------------------- # ps -ef | grep -i nobody nobody 2389 830 0 12:29 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start nobody 2390 830 0 12:29 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start nobody 2391 830 0 12:29 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start nobody 2392 830 0 12:29 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start nobody 2393 830 0 12:29 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start nobody 2395 830 0 12:29 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start nobody 2396 830 0 12:29 ? 00:00:00 /usr/sbin/httpd -k start root 2589 1366 0 12:32 pts/0 00:00:00 grep --color=auto -i nobody -------------------------------------------- And the only solution that I have found to workaround the permission issue is to assign the /var/log/koha file to this user and group: -------------------------------------------- -rw-r--r-- 1 koha koha 17 Mar 25 11:27 README -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 0 Apr 22 15:54 api-error.log -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 0 Apr 22 15:54 intranet-error.log -rw-r--r-- 1 koha koha 3568410 Apr 23 12:49 koha-error_log -rw-r--r-- 1 koha koha 16798473 Apr 23 12:49 koha-opac-error_log -rw-r--r-- 1 koha koha 34650 Apr 22 12:09 koha-zebradaemon-output.log -rw-r--r-- 1 koha koha 41328 Apr 22 12:09 koha-zebradaemon.err -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 0 Apr 22 15:54 opac-error.log -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 0 Apr 22 15:54 plack-api-error.log -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 0 Apr 22 15:54 plack-intranet-error.log -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 0 Apr 22 15:54 plack-opac-error.log -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 0 Apr 22 15:54 sip.log -rw-r--r-- 1 nobody nobody 0 Apr 22 15:54 z3950-error.log -------------------------------------------- Is this a reasonable and secure solution?

Hi Alvaro,
thanks again! I have reset the permission and I have tried to do as you suggested, but (probably for my mistake in some passages) it doesn't work.
So, tring to open the Koha Administration Panel from browser and checking with "# top" command in shell, I have found that the user nobody run the process that try to connect to Koha Administration Panel: ------------------------------------------ PID USER PR NI VIRT RES SHR S %CPU %MEM TIME+ COMMAND 95823 nobody 20 0 0 0 0 Z 67.1 0.0 0:02.49 mainpage.pl 95824 nobody 20 0 133084 29536 9608 D 8.6 0.3 0:00.26 500.pl ------------------------------------------
So, I have add the user nobody to the koha group: ------------------------------------------ # usermod -a -G koha nobody # id nobody # uid=65534(nobody) gid=65534(nobody) groups=1002(koha),65534(nobody) ------------------------------------------
And then set the permission of the var/log/koha files as follow (664 for the log file that generate the error in koha-error_log): ------------------------------------------ -rw-r--r-- 1 koha koha 17 Mar 25 11:27 README -rw-rw-r-- 1 koha koha 0 Apr 22 15:54 api-error.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 koha koha 0 Apr 22 15:54 intranet-error.log -rw-r--r-- 1 koha koha 3562776 Apr 23 11:25 koha-error_log -rw-r--r-- 1 koha koha 16797737 Apr 23 11:21 koha-opac-error_log -rw-r--r-- 1 koha koha 34650 Apr 22 12:09 koha-zebradaemon-output.log -rw-r--r-- 1 koha koha 41328 Apr 22 12:09 koha-zebradaemon.err -rw-rw-r-- 1 koha koha 0 Apr 22 15:54 opac-error.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 koha koha 0 Apr 22 15:54 plack-api-error.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 koha koha 0 Apr 22 15:54 plack-intranet-error.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 koha koha 0 Apr 22 15:54 plack-opac-error.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 koha koha 0 Apr 22 15:54 sip.log -rw-rw-r-- 1 koha koha 0 Apr 22 15:54 z3950-error.log ------------------------------------------
However I continue to get the 500 error when I try to connect to the Koha Administration Panel and checkin the koha-error_log file I get the same permission error: ------------------------------------------ Can't open /var/log/koha/z3950-error.log (Permission denied) at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Log/Log4perl/Appender/File.pm line 151.: /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/mainpage.pl End of script output before headers: mainpage.pl Can't open /var/log/koha/z3950-error.log (Permission denied) at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Log/Log4perl/Appender/File.pm line 151.: /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/errors/500.pl End of script output before headers: 500.pl ------------------------------------------
Do you see something that I have miss?
Thanks and have a nice day! Alessandro

Hi Alessandro,
Good to know it worked.
No, usually it is best to limit file access to who needs it.
As per your files listed below, koha user and group should be the only ones allowed to write to those files. As you are running AlmaLinux, it might be that a process is running under another user. thus, the permission error.
You can try to identify who that process is and have it run as a koha user or add that user to the koha group.
Regards,
Alvaro,

Hi Alvaro,
thank you very much for your reply!
I have changed the /var/log/koha files permission as follow (see below), and now I have managed to enter Koha Administration Panel!

Hi Alessandro,
Have you checked the permission of your log file /var/log/koha/z3950-error.log ?
You might need to change it and give it write access to everybody.
Regards,
Alvaro

Hi,
I have workedaround the Onboarding Web Installer issues in creating Superlibrarian Patron with the "create_superlibrarian.pl" and now I have finished the Web Installation process.
However, when I try to connect to the Koha administration panel, I get the 500 Internal Server Error; and again, the only error that I see in /var/log/ koha/koha-error_log is related to z3950: ------------------------- Can't open /var/log/koha/z3950-error.log (Permission denied) at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Log/Log4perl/Appender/File.pm line 151.: /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/mainpage.pl End of script output before headers: mainpage.pl Can't open /var/log/koha/z3950-error.log (Permission denied) at /usr/share/perl5/vendor_perl/Log/Log4perl/Appender/File.pm line 151.: /usr/share/koha/intranet/cgi-bin/errors/500.pl End of script output before headers: 500.pl ------------------------- Does anyone have any idea how to try to fix it?
Thanks and have a nice day! Alessandro
