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

------------------------------------------
Do you see something that I have miss?
Thanks and have a nice day!
