Geeklog Forums

I've jsut fumbled my way through a geeklog installationa nd everything appears to work very well, except when I have a registered user try to add a calendar event I receive an error message after hitting the submit button...

I read through some of the other posts, but I still need help deciphering this error message....

An error has occurred:
2 - fopen(/etc/geeklog/logs/spamx.log) [function.fopen]: failed to open stream: Permission denied @ /etc/geeklog/plugins/spamx/functions.inc line 307

any and all help is greatly appreciated.

Sounds like you have a permissions issue and need to set the proper permissions on the dir or file. The lines involved are as follows:


Varify that you have set the following in all the listed dirs below for their proper permissions. Windows users will need to set them to Read/Write/Change

I tried your suggestions, and I am still having the same issue....

Any Further suggestions?

As ironmax said, your file permissions are not correct. On the success screen after the install, you were given a chance to check your file permissions which you apparently didn't use. If you still have the install directory around, call up .../admin/install/check.php

Rule of thumb: If 775 doesn't help, try 777.

bye, Dirk

Very often 777 is necessary AND this "chmod -R 775 logs" means you also have to 777 each file in /logs/ e.g. error.log or spamx.log itself

Thank you all,

777 on logs did the trick.
