[SOLVED] Logviewer error in web ui

Good morning

Having some issue with viewing the log viewer in web ui for a while now. Just done a full apt update so thought I’d finally get the issue resolved.

Running 2.4.0-1 on raspberry pi 3

The file the logviewer is trying to view is /var/log/openhab2/events.log

And the browser comes up with 192.168.1.113:9001 crashed.

Tried to follow a solved issue thread by reinstalling logviewer by openhabian-config which says it’s installed ok.
I then check systemctl status fronttail and it responds with no service found.

Any advice would be much appreciated I’ve probably missed something very simple!

Have you stopped OH and rebooted since the update? Are you running OH on an SD card?

I have rebooted the pi completely after the update. And yes I’m running it off a sd card

What is the output of ls -al /var/log/openhab2

total 14848
drwxrwxr-x+ 2 openhab openhab     4096 Dec 21 23:19 .

Permissions look good. I installed OH via openhabian image and I have openhab:openhabian so maybe try using the openhabian-config tool and select Apply Improvements then Fix Permissions and System Tweaks to see if anything changes.

Not sure which one worked because I didn’t check in between but that has solved it. Thank you

Glad it’s working.:+1:
