Olav did setup appropriate permissions today. He's not sure this is permanent, though. So let's wait some days before closing the bug.

I confirm that the read access permission is *not* permanent, so another solution should be found...

@Olav - can you comment on what you implemented to initially give permissions, and what method we might employ to make it permanent?

Would it be something as simple as 'chown :gnomeweb logs/; chmod g+s logs/' ? (I'm completely guessing here, not being familiar with what was previously attempted.)

From the httpd Puppet module:
        file {
                "/var/log/httpd":
                        ensure => directory,
                        mode => 750,
                        owner => root,
                        group => gnomeweb,
                        require => Package["httpd"]
        }


Suggest to hook progress up to Puppet (might not be easy, Puppet modules assume Red Hat).

Note: Previously, we changed above permissions using Cron.

progress is now in puppet. (httpd module only)

file { "/var/log/apache2":
    ensure => directory,
    mode => 2750,
    owner => root,
    group => gnomeweb,
    require => Package["apache2"]
}

closing ticket. please re-open if this fix doesn't persist.
