#27 Problems with log files and reports

[Anonymous]

Hi, i'm trying to setup daloradius on a new ubuntu server 14.04.1 virtual machine.
I found two problems:
1) log files seem not exist

error reading log file: /tmp/daloradius.log
looked for log file in /tmp/daloradius.log but couldn't find it.
if you know where your daloradius log file is located, set it's location in your library/daloradius.conf file

error reading log file:
looked for log file in '/var/log/freeradius/radius.log, /usr/local/var/log/radius/radius.log, /var/log/radius/radius.log' but couldn't find it.
if you know where your freeradius log file is located, set it's location in /daloradius/rep-logs-radius.php

error reading log file: /var/log/syslog
possible cause is file premissions or file doesn't exist.

error reading log file: /var/log/dmesg
possible cause is file premissions or file doesn't exist.

I have to create them manually?

2) I can't see the online users connected in Reports->Online Users, even though the are some users actually connected; also the other reports with day filter don't work.

Can you help me?
Thanks!

Cheers, D.

for syslog and radius log try to chmod777 your /var/log/syslog and /var/log/freeradius

[Anonymous]

I had the exact same issue, chmod 777 worked for me but I still have the same issue as you, with the users not showing up as connected etc, which makes it impossible to limit sessions etc.

I'm having the same problem not seeing the users

Probably a permissions OS issue?
As long as you configured the correct log file location in library/daloradius.conf.php, just make sure the web server is allowed to log to it.

Hi Liran,

Would you please guide us on how make sure the web server is allowed to log to it. Would you please send me the CLI command for giving access to the folder and Web User?

Thanks/.

do chmod +x attitribute to the radius folder will fix the log problem

[Anonymous]

Perfect, it did solve the problem

[Anonymous]

chmod 755 /var/log/radius/radius
chmod 644 /var/log/radius/radius/radius.log
touch /tmp/daloradius.log

Hope, this will fix the issue!
the above two working ok , but /tmp/daloradius.log still not working

i have same issue but this solution dont work

[Anonymous]

While I am still banging my head on locating the daloradius.log, I do find the radius.log at /usr/local/var/log/radius/radius.log. I am running freeradius at RHEL 7.3 development version.

It is also strange my mysql's general-log can only be located at /var/lib/mysql/mysql/general-log.csv. Any other method, such as configuring the mysgl-general-log at /tmp/, or setting /var/log/ to drwxr-xr-x, chown mysql:mysql does not work.I believe this may involve a similar issue here?

touch /tmp/daloradius.log
chown apache.apache /tmp/daloradius.log

For error: daloradius not shown anything.
Can write to /tmp/daloradius.log, but not shown anything on "daloRADIUS log" page and no warning, please add "}" before the end of php tag "?>" on exten-daloradius_log.php file.

I was check on httpd error log, and shown like this:
[xxx xxx xx xx:xx:xx.xxxxxx xxxx] [:error] [pid 6667] [client x.x.x.x:x] PHP Parse error: syntax error, unexpected end of file in /var/www/html/daloradius/library/exten-daloradius_log.php on line 75, referer: http://x.x.x.x:x/rep-logs-daloradius.php?daloradiusLineCount=50&daloradiusFilter=.

Same here. New install on Ubuntu 16.04 and there is no /tmp/daloradius.log file. the "touch" command executes but does not create the file. I looked everywhere I could think, but no daloradius.log file exists unless Liran can shed any light on this. So I just did a nano /tmp/daloradius.log to create the file and now no error messages, but I doubt actual logs will be stored here...

hey guys, check the web logs, if perm are ok & page for daloradius.log (acccess logs) are blank, my issue was missing } at end of file in library/exten-daloradius_log.php Centos 7 mariadb

[Anonymous]

chmod [root@bogon radius]# chmod 755 /var/log/radius/
chmod 755 /var/log/radius/radius.log
this problem is solved

[Anonymous]

anyone found the solution for this? I am facing problems reading log files and setting config files from daloradius. i double checked that apache has the proper permissions to write to config and still i get the error:
"Could not open the file for writing: /var/www/html/daloradius/library/daloradius.conf.php
Check file permissions. The file should be writable by the webserver's user/group"

for radius log and syslog use chmod +r
while for daloradius.log you have to follow these steps

cd /var/log/
touch daloradius.log
then go to cd/var/www/html/daloradius/library/daloradius.conf and edit the [CONFIG_LOG_FILE] = "/var/log/daloradius.log"
