Just tried to access file manager and I’m getting this problem:

Folder not writable: /private/logs/

I’ve tried changing ownership to

sudo chown hestiaweb:hestiaweb /usr/local/hestia/web/fm/private/logs

but when i do that, I cant even get the error message, the page refuses to load.

current permissions are admin:admin

drwxr-x--- 2 admin admin 4096 May 26 21:13 /usr/local/hestia/web/fm/private/logs

Anyone have any advice?

Same problem. I temporarily solved it by changing the file permissions to 0646, but I know it’s not at all secure to have it that way.
edit: seems I found the problem… you need to change the owner of the log file as well so the correct command would be:

sudo chown -R hestiaweb:hestiaweb /usr/local/hestia/web/fm/private/logs

or simply change the ownership of the app.log file:

sudo chown hestiaweb:hestiaweb /usr/local/hestia/web/fm/private/logs/app.log

I did not try this as I manged to solve my problem prior to your message by re-installing file manager.
