Log file problem

[R4IDER]

Hi,

Starting today I have been getting emails about a CRON problem.

The subject line reads Cron <getmail@localhost> /usr/local/bin/run-getmail.sh > /dev/null 2>> /var/log/ispconfig/cron.log

and the body shows the following /bin/sh: /var/log/ispconfig/cron.log: Permission denied

Naturally I went and checked the permission settings for cron.log and the permissions are set to 666; I am a little confused on why this has started happening since I haven't made any changes for many weeks, I am running centos 5.6 and I've disabled the getmail cron while I try and work out the cause of this problem.

I have also been looking into another issue regarding the virus software being outdated; I can just ignore this right?

Yes.

What's the output of

ls -la /var/log/ispconfig/

?

Can you check if SELinux is off?

drwxr-xr-x 3 root root 4096 Aug 3 06:53 .
drwxrwxr-x 14 root root 4096 Aug 3 05:20 ..
-rw-rw-rw- 1 root root 0 Aug 3 06:56 cron.log
drwxr-xr-x 82 root root 4096 Aug 3 16:07 httpd
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 4433 Aug 3 04:50 ispconfig.log

and SELinux is disabled.

Rebooting somehow solved the problem.
