We recently upgraded from 8.0 to 8.2.1, it went swimmingly Issue we ran into after is ajxp\_access.log is not rotating proper at 23:59 and from what I see it breaks services. In addition public links stop working. only way to resolve temporarily is to re-create log file with symlink and restart services. ![SecureShare-down](https://canada1.discourse-cdn.com/flex032/uploads/pydio/original/1X/c78590505f98f51a3f464b267648ddf1576df94a.png) ---

Hi zayn, currently 8.2.1 is pydio version using remi-php5.6 in short i was able to resolve issue with recreating symlink with proper permissions just curious as to why an upgrade just changes permissions. ---

Hi, what the upgrade does first is check if it can read/write the pydio files (not what you have stored in workspaces etc…) and then the upgrade will start to modify,add what’s need to match the updated version. ---

by the way, if you could upgrade php to the version 7 it would be great as it’s faster and has new stuff. ( and also there some changes for example the mcrypt package is deprecated on php 7 therefore you need openssl) ---

I see. So why you are on here, here is another question in regard to the “Application Logger” settings. DefaultSettings: Log Folder= /var/log/pydio/ File Name Pattern=log\_date(‘m-d-y’).txt Files Permissions= 770 what i find interesting on a brand new build of 8.2.1, without importing database from a previous server (migration-path) The logs simply do not show up ( like I have no idea where they are at or going) Plugins are installed, enabled as I see it. My guess is I need to create ajxp\_access.log file with proper apache permissions and symlink ---

ya know, i did try to upgrade to various php7.x versions and I always got some php56 (remi version(s)) dependancy issues with three packages, do not remember them all off hand, one was php7 version of mcrypt, it wanted version from remi 5.6 I gave up on that en-devour ---

yeah if you have other stuff depending on your php 5.6 packages it could be trouble unfortunate. ---

It could be that your pydio doesn’t have the right to write in the `/var/log` folder, what you could do to make sure would be to create a folder on your `/home/user/log`(to test), give it the rights (770 for instance ) and change user to www-data. ---

ya, as i suspected just created the files with symlink with proper apache permissions and all is good after a httpd24-httpd restart. Thanks for your help zayn Allen
