[client 127.0.0.1:33668] PermissionError: [Errno 13] Permission denied: '/var/log/cpm/cpm_server.log'
In addition, During server restart apache might not start.
This could also cause the error message Critical Error - Watchdog Killed DR process after not responding for more than 1800 seconds
Note: This KB is relevant for 4.1 and below, as this was handled in latest 4.2.2 version
Solution:
1. connect to cpm over SSH using cpmuser and your key.
2. run the following command:
- sudo chown -R www-data:www-data /var/log/cpm
After this log download should work and the apache server will start correctly.
