Title: php access to file /var/log/cups/page_log
Post by: tropicalview on July 11, 2007, 03:13:27 PM

Dear all.
A php aplication should be able to read this file:

/var/log/cups/page_log

how can i make that available for PHP?

or can i just make a shortcut (by LN) to access it?

Title: LN Not allowed.

Dear all,

I tried this:

[root@studenten html]# cd printlog
[root@studenten printlog]# ln .. /var/log/cups/page_log
ln: `..': hard link not allowed for directory
[root@studenten printlog]#

So in the web dir i made a folder called printlog
and i would like to make a hard link of the log file there.

Can anybody help?

Kind Regards

Hendrik

The Problem ist, that the PHPApplication has not the sufficient rights to read the page_log
Change the Permissions from 600 to 644 or something that reflect your need
You need to make a custom template of
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/cups/cupsd.conf/20LogFilePerm

Maybe this helps

Hi

I do have the same problem to use phpprintanalyzer requiring to read /var/log/cups/page_log

changing /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/cups/cupsd.conf/20LogFilePerm does not seem to help

thanks for the help

Philippe

it works with hard link not symbolic link

1.  vi /etc/e-smith/templates/etc/cups/cupsd.conf/20LogFilePerm

Code: [Select]

LogFilePerm 0644

2. modify permission for page_log

Code: [Select]

chmod 644 /var/log/cups/page_log

3. create link for the file

Code: [Select]

ln /var/log/cups/page_log /home/e-smith/files/primary/html/page_log

and it works

The problem with this is that you should never edit a template directly but instead create a custom-template like tec mentioned in his post

You need to make a custom template of
/etc/e-smith/templates/etc/cups/cupsd.conf/20LogFilePerm

Read the Developers Manual for instructions on how to do this:
