log files not rolling

I installed plastic on a new CentOS 7 server yesterday, and copied the sqlite databases and config files from an old server we are decomissioning.  Then, a few hours after starting the plasticsd service, at midnight UTC, I found these error messages in my ssh session console:

$ sudo service plasticsd start
Starting the Plastic SCM server:                                     OK
$ log4net:ERROR [RollingFileAppender] Exception while rolling file [/opt/plasticscm5/server/plastic.relevant.log.txt] -> [plastic.relevant.log.txt.20170531]

At this point, the log files were cleared, and they continue to accumulate new messages.  There are old log files.  I couldn't find the errors above in any log file, though (even grepping all of /var/log).  I suspect they (luckily) showed up in that terminal because that's where I'd started plasticsd.

plasticd is running as the plasticscm user:

$ ps aux | grep -i 'plastic\|RSS TTY'
USER       PID %CPU %MEM    VSZ   RSS TTY      STAT START   TIME COMMAND

Directory permissions look okay:

SELinux is in permissive mode (so it shouldn't block anything):

$ sestatus

I installed plasticscm-complete-5.4.16.918-1.1, to stay as close to my old server as possible (will upgrade soon):

Sooo.... I need those log files to stick around, so where do I go from here?

Thanks!

Neal

P.S. I hit submit on this forum post, and it told me I wasn't authorized, and hitting the browser back button also showed me an unauthorized message.  Luckily, I was able to recover my message after logging in in a different window and telling the browser to resubmit the POST, but this is dangerous!

Hi!

permissions seems to be OK.

Can you check if you can run this command? 

sudo -u plasticscm cp plastic.debug.log.txt plastic.debug.log.txt.roll1

The error is pretty clear though.

System.IO.File.Move -> Access to the path is denied

I'll try to search related issues with log4net.

Thanks for the reply, Manu!

It seems like most of the log files started rolling properly on Saturday.  I don't think I touched anything since my original post, I've been working on other things...  I'll restart plasticsd from a terminal before midnight UTC tomorrow to see if there are any error messages (there were on Friday).

I just tried running your cp command, and of course it works now!  I don't know if it would have worked last week... :(

I'll report back if I find there are still issues.

Thanks, Manu!

Aha!  I set my ssh shell up to catch the error messages, and they showed up again:

It seems the log files rolled fine for three days, and then it broke again...

I happened to reboot the server just before this happened...  But I've stopped and started plasticsd service itself several times in the past three days.

I am able to copy a logfile as plasticscm user.

I'm wondering if it's trying to put the rolled logfile in '/' instead of '/opt/plasticscm5/server'.  '/' seems to be the working directory of the plasticsd service.  On the old server, there are three sets of plastic logfiles from seemingly-random dates in '/'.  I haven't found anything special that happened on those three dates...

I just modified my loader.log.conf to put my logfiles in '/var/log/plasticscm5' (where logs belong on linux).  Maybe specifying an absolute path will help!

 

Thanks, Manu!  I'll let you know if I am still having issues...

That's super weird! But might explain the error...

How did you manage to get the plasticd working directory?

I'm wondering if log4net is having a log for themselves so we can check the rolling destination path, I'll search for it.

It's strange it's working something and sometimes not.

Thank you for your time debugging this! To be honest with you this is the first time I face this behavior.

Hi, did you guys figure this one out?

I'm seeing the same issue now. "sudo -u plasticscm" has no problems with permissions but I get these:

 log4net:ERROR [RollingFileAppender] Exception while rolling file [/opt/plasticscm5/server/plastic.debug.log.txt] -> [plastic.debug.log.txt.20171107]
System.UnauthorizedAccessException: Access to the path is denied.

This definitely started to happen after a restart (restarted both service and then the whole server machine though).
