Re: [Freevo-users] Settings for log files
Thanks for your answer. That was a type, true, but there was also an issue with the /var/lib/freevo folder where there were also messages about no rights. are there also other folder variables that can be set or unset, if so how do I find out which variables have the wrong setting and what are those variables?

Same rules apply for the FREEVO_STATICDIR and FREEVO_CACHEDIR.
The code is:
OS_LOGDIR, FREEVO_LOGDIR = make_freevodir('LOGDIR', '/var/log',
'/var/log', 'log')
OS_STATICDIR, FREEVO_STATICDIR = make_freevodir('STATICDIR', '/var/lib',
'/var/db', 'static')
OS_CACHEDIR, FREEVO_CACHEDIR = make_freevodir('CACHEDIR', '/var/cache',
'/var/db', 'cache')
The arguments are: VARIABLE, linux/dir, bsd/dir and ~/.freevo/dir
