Solved Failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/html/fog/status/logtoview.php

[RobTitian16]

Hi all,

In my clients recently, the FOG log has been reporting the following error:

08/08/2018 15:56 Client-Info Client Version: 0.11.16
08/08/2018 15:56 Client-Info Client OS: Windows
08/08/2018 15:56 Client-Info Server Version: 1.5.2

08/08/2018 15:56 Middleware::Response ERROR: Object reference not set to an instance of an object.
08/08/2018 15:56 Service Sleeping for 110 seconds

I’ve checked the Apache log, and I can see the following error:
[Wed Aug 08 15:14:08.956419 2018] [proxy_fcgi:error] [pid 39315] [client 10.1.1.107:58244] AH01071: Got error ‘PHP message: PHP Warning: fopen(/var/log/apache2/error.log): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /var/www/html/fog/status/logtoview.php on line 86\n’

Running the following check seems to come back OK (ls -la /var/www/html/fog/status/

I’ve restarted Apache, etc. but still this error persists in the log. It’s annoying as I can’t deploy any snapins to my client machines at the moment, which, as you all know, is pretty useful.
Any help with this would of course be greatly appreciated as always!

This can be marked as solved. I updated to 1.5.4 and everything is confirmed to be working once more. Thanks!
