Php mail havent permission to phpmail.log

[dbmtr]

Hi All,

have following error "mail(/usr/local/apache/logs/phpmail.log): failed to open stream: Read-only file system"

should I change the log file permissions or should it happen automatically during the php-fpm build?

Best regards.

Having the same problem since I switched to php-fpm.
How to fix this?

Permission for this file on my system is:
-rw-rw-rw-. root root

[roade]

They already are - 777. 0 0

As root, do:

touch /usr/local/apache/logs/phpmail.log

See if you get an error

[rcschaff]

check the file /lib/systemd/system/php-fpm[version].service

Look for the line:  ProtectSystem=

Make sure it is set to false.

run the command " systemctl daemon-reload ", then restart php-fpm[version]

That second suggestion seems to be a possible solution because read-only file system cannot be worked around with Unix permissions (chmod).
But is that a safe solution? If not, what are other options?

[rcschaff]

It's either that, or change the location of the phpmail.log to /var/log/php/phpmail.log

Either option would be fine, but the second would be most secure.
