| Post subject: | mythbackend not making log files |
I just noticed that my mythtv-backend process has not been making log files for a few months. All the mythbackend.log files in /var/log/mythtv are from November. I don't know what changed at that time. I have the backend process running as: /usr/bin/mythbackend --daemon --logfile /var/log/mythtv/mythbackend.log --pidfile /var/run/mythtv/mythbackend.pid So, what would be causing it to not make log files? Thanks, John |

Most likely the directory ownership and/or permissions. It sounds like you're running mythbackend as the mythtv user (which is good) so you just need to make sure that the /var/log/mythtv/ directory is owned by mythtv and has setgid permissions. Code: root@black2:~# ls -al /var/log/mythtv/ total 296 drwxrwsr-x 2 mythtv mythtv 4096 Apr 11 07:39 . drwxr-xr-x 11 root root 4096 Apr 11 06:27 .. -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 5020 Apr 3 21:44 KnoppMyth-run.log -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 802 Apr 11 07:40 mythbackend.log -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 1900 Apr 11 06:27 mythbackend.log.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 8939 Apr 10 06:27 mythbackend.log.2 -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 9669 Apr 9 06:27 mythbackend.log.3 -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 25413 Apr 8 06:27 mythbackend.log.4 -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 6645 Apr 7 06:27 mythbackend.log.5 -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 25023 Apr 6 06:27 mythbackend.log.6 -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 4636 Apr 5 06:26 mythbackend.log.7 -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 64 Apr 11 07:40 mythfrontend.log -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 6110 Apr 11 06:27 mythfrontend.log.1 -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 1150 Apr 10 06:27 mythfrontend.log.2 -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 29282 Apr 9 06:27 mythfrontend.log.3 -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 65072 Apr 8 06:27 mythfrontend.log.4 -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 4714 Apr 7 06:27 mythfrontend.log.5 -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 22725 Apr 6 06:27 mythfrontend.log.6 -rw-r--r-- 1 mythtv mythtv 1508 Apr 4 06:27 mythfrontend.log.7 Running the following as root should fix any problems there: Code: chown -R mythtv:mythtv /var/log/mythtv
chmod u=rwx,g=rwxs,o=rx /var/log/mythtv |

Thanks for the suggestion. It was the right idea. Actually, though, the directory was owned by mythtv, but somehow mythbackend.log and one of the other files was owned by root. Now that I've chowned them, it looks like I'm back in business. Thanks! John |
