Additionally, I had to install php7.0-xml and php7.0-mbstring to get composer_wrapper.php to complete.

I had to do this for Ubuntu as well.

Iā€™m still unable to access the webUI. I get the following.

Error: bootstrap/cache, storage, storage/framework/sessions, storage/framework/views, storage/framework/cache, logs not writable! Run these commands as root on your LibreNMS server to fix:

chown -R librenms:librenms /opt/librenms/bootstrap/cache /opt/librenms/storage /opt/librenms/storage/framework/sessions /opt/librenms/storage/framework/views /opt/librenms/storage/framework/cache /opt/librenms/logs

setfacl -R -m g::rwx /opt/librenms/bootstrap/cache /opt/librenms/storage /opt/librenms/storage/framework/sessions /opt/librenms/storage/framework/views /opt/librenms/storage/framework/cache /opt/librenms/logs

Iā€™ve run the commands recommended above and that didnā€™t help. Iā€™ve tried the suggestions in this thread and that didnā€™t help. I donā€™t have SELinux running on this box. This was working up until yesterday, and I suspect it broke with a daily.sh update. Anybody have any thoughts?

theredon - What does ./validate.php say?

Everything looks good.

Any news thereden?

Iā€™m on a Virtual CentOs install. I can no longer access the webui; I get the following like many in here:

Iā€™m so stuck. I do have yesterdays snapshot where it all worked still but I donā€™t want to stop the Cron job.

PS Iā€™m a giant MORON got it working. Sometimes I canā€™t believe how dumb I am! Thanks for reading either way!

Congrats on getting yours working. Iā€™m still dead in the water here. Everything I can see is correct but Iā€™m still getting the page stating that it canā€™t write to the logs, even though all the permissions are correct. I donā€™t know how many times Iā€™ve run the chown command now, hoping that this time it might fix it.

Tried restarting your web server and / or php-fpm?

Iā€™m in the same boat as you manā€¦running CentOS7 and keep getting the message about the permissions.

I have, still telling me it canā€™t write to the logs file.

Error: logs not writable! Run these commands as root on your LibreNMS server to fix:
chown -R librenms:librenms /opt/librenms/logs

drwxrwxr-x 2 librenms librenms 4096 Jan 12 10:45 logs/

I thought that it could possibly be due to something with the remote pollers not having the mbstring module so I jumped into those and updated and fixed that issue but Iā€™m still seeing the same thing. Iā€™m at a loss at this point.

@theredon

Can you show the structure inside that folder, run:

ls -li /opt/librenms/logs

librenms@cerento010:~$ ls -li /opt/librenms/logs/
total 219108
277652 -rw-rā€“r-- 1 librenms librenms 121007 May 15 00:17 daily.log
277584 -rw-rā€“r-- 1 librenms librenms 224203498 May 15 08:49 librenms.log

You have different file permissions to me,

Try this

chmod 664 /opt/librenms/logs/librenms.log

also your librenms log file is 224 MB, although probably not related you could try clearing it anyway
echo "" > /opt/librenms/logs/librenms.log

paste librenms.log errors, did you check other recent threads ? this one is old

Just for kicks: (Quoting TheGreatDoc)

Try: chown -R librenms:librenms /opt/librenms setfacl -d -m g::rwx /opt/librenms/rrd /opt/librenms/logs /opt/librenms/bootstrap/cache/ /opt/librenms/storage/ setfacl -R -m g::rwx /opt/librenms/rrd /opt/librenms/logs /opt/librenms/bootstrap/cache/ /opt/librenms/storage/

Proper formatting of the commands^:

chown -R librenms:librenms /opt/librenms
setfacl -d -m g::rwx /opt/librenms/rrd /opt/librenms/logs /opt/librenms/bootstrap/cache/ /opt/librenms/storage/
setfacl -R -m g::rwx /opt/librenms/rrd /opt/librenms/logs /opt/librenms/bootstrap/cache/ /opt/librenms/storage/

Thanks Zach.
This worked perfectly well
