Unable to clear System Log in Mojoportal

Hello,

I'm unable to clear the System logs in mojoportal.I'm trying by clicking clear log again and again, but it doesnn't work...

The page refreshes,but nothing happens. It simply reloads again with the old log contents.

I've verified permissions for Data\sites\1.

Where is this log stored? Anything else that I can do?

Would appreciate any help...

Thank you so much.

Re: Unable to clear System Log in Mojoportal

Sorry folks,I just figured it out..

I searched and found this http://www.mojoportal.com/Forums/Thread.aspx?pageid=5&mid=34&ItemID=3&thread=2748&pagenumber=1

Then,I tried providing more permissions to the entire mojoportal website folder and it worked,

It was a permission issue after all.

Thank you all.

Hi,

You shouldn't give write permissions to the root of your website. That is a very bad security practice.

App_Data and Data directories should be the only writable directories in your site. The log lives in \Data and is named currentlog.config.

I recommend you remove the permissions you granted to the "mojoportal website folder" and then add write permissions to the App_Data and Data directories.

HTH,
Joe D.

Re: Unable to clear System Log in Mojoportal

Thank you so much for the reply Joe D..

Can you please tell me the list of directories which need permission for mojoportal or point me to link where I can find them so that I can remove permissions for the whole website and provide permissions only for the required directories?

Thank you so much again for your time...

As I stated in my previous post, you need to set write permissions on the App_Data and Data directories.

Re: Unable to clear System Log in Mojoportal

Only the /App_Data and /Data folders (and files and folders within and below them) need write access. You can test whether your file permissions are set correctly by going to Administration, Security Advisor.

The system log is stored in /Data, and there's more documentation here.
