Hello Boud,

the package wims_3.62-8 will be available shortly, which fixes this bug
and many others.

hi Georges,

i think that this bug is not yet closed...  And i have another one which seems
to be independent so i'll file it independently.

PROBLEM:
i updated to wims-3.62-8 from debian.ofset.org

i once again get:

WIMS panick! Unable to bring up wimslogd.
Permission denied



ANALYSIS:
From the command line:

as user wims:
  cd /var/lib/wims/public_html/ && ./wims
outputs a correct html page.

as user www-data, same command:

  cd /var/lib/wims/public_html/ && ./wims
outputs:

Status: 500 WIMS Internal Error
Cache-Control: no-cache
Pragma: no-cache
Content-type: text/plain


WIMS panick! Unable to bring up wimslogd.
Permission denied
wims: Unable to bring up wimslogd.
Permission denied


i tried the following in the order below:

/var/lib/wims# chmod g+rx bin

chmod -R g+rw log/

chmod -R g+x log/account/ log/[cf]* log/modules/ log/referer # directories

chmod g+rwx tmp/log/      # key step to solution


After this last line, user www-data *was* able to correctly do
  cd /var/lib/wims/public_html/ && ./wims

The web interface then gives:

WIMS panick! cannot_create_session_directory
Permission denied

chmod g+w tmp/sessions/

pwd
/var/lib/wims

chmod g+rwx sessions/   # key step to solution

This second problem is now resolved after this chmod.




SUGGESTED SOLUTION:

i don't have the time to check which chmods are necessary or optional among
the above list - i would suggest just doing

chmod g+rwx tmp/log/      # key step to solution
chmod g+rwx sessions/   # key step to solution

and then if there's a problem trying some of the others.
