/opt/zimbra/zmstat/ wrong permissions

[hupp]

Hi,

i Have wrong permessions in my Folders under /opt/zimbra/zmstat/.

The daily folder is owned by root and so i get error messages in /opt/zimbra/log/mailbox.log

If i change the owner to zimbra:zimbra I no longer get the error.

Why the system doesn´t create the folder with the correct rights?

Thanks for your Help.

my setup is just one server. I use

Release 6.0.6_GA_2330.DEBIAN5 DEBIAN5 FOSS edition.

Maybe the problem starts when I upgraded from 5.x

[LMStone]

This problem is a known issue, unfortunately.

The "cure" is to change the ownership of the dated folder and their contents and then restart Zimbra stats.

As root:

chown -R zimbra.zimbra /opt/zimbra/zmstat/2010-*

Then, as the zimbra user:

zmstatctl stop; zmstatctl start; zmstatctl status; zmcontrol status

If the output from everything above looks good, then in a few minutes all the red "X"s in the Admin Console should change to blue checkmarks.

Note that you will need to redo this periodically, after Zimbra starts applying the wrong ownership to the newly created dated stats folders.

Hope that helps,
Mark

thnx for hlep, but this is all what i did; what i would do is to help someone @zimbra to fix it...
so, i think it needs to file a bug on bugzilla

Thanks Mark for the solution!

[bhwong]

Beside wrong permissions and swap storage (STATS service stopped and cannot run), what else could stop stats from restarting?
