Unable to save settings and create log directory.

    Hi,

    I’m trying to change and save the plugin settings, but although the page reloads with the message “Settings saved.”, the settings remain unchanged.

    I also noticed the message that the Log directory does not exist and could not be created. To address this, I manually created the directory with the correct permissions:

    public_html/logs/wpmu/

    However, the plugin still shows the error: “Does NOT exist and could not be created.”

    Could this be the reason why the settings are not being saved, or should I check something else (permissions, path, etc.)?

    Any help would be appreciated.

    Thank you.

    hi,

    the path to the logfile is yet not changeable. It’s definitely not

    Unable to save settings and create log directorpublic_html/logs/wpmu/ as this would make the logfiles public available.

    i check that, if the logfile cant be used below public_html this feature cant be used, sorry.

    I’m having the exact same issue. What is the location where the log folder needs to be created?

    The message I get seems to be truncated:
    /home/21336.cloudwaysapps.com/wccfsgjmds/public_html/../logs/wpmu/ && chmod 755

    (I shuffled the identifying strings above, but kept the formats)

    Hi, thanks for using the plugin!
    Check the “Settings”-Tab of the plugin:
    There are “Log directory exists“, “Log file write & read test” etc.
    Both settings and Logfiles should be stored at ABSPATH. ‘../logs/wpmu/’
    This path is not changeable…

    manually:
    mkdir -p /home/21336.cloudwaysapps.com/wccfsgjmds/public_html/../logs/wpmu/
    then:
    chmod 755 /home/21336.cloudwaysapps.com/wccfsgjmds/public_html/../logs/wpmu/

    PS: Version 2.1.1 will have better errorhandling.

    Hi,
    on saving the settings version 2.1.1 would show “not saved” if target-dir / file is not writeable.
    Please check Tab “Check installation”.

    Hi,
    Version 2.2.0 now has the option to save settings and logs in the wp-db. Switch to db if saving in files is not successful.
    Best
