Hellow fellas,

I'm trying to install Amanda 3.2 on Ubuntu 10.10(Maverick) using Ubuntu 10.04 deb package. The installation was succesgul using the dpkg command. The problem crops up when configuring such amanda. When creating a user amandabackup using passwd amandabackup and then enter in it through su - amandabackup a permission denied problem comes up. When enter amserverconfig Dailyset 1 etc etc the server response with :

amservingconfig: critical (fatal): Cannot create debug file "/var/log/amanda/server/amserverconfig.2010120307947.debug": Permission denied and continues

The permissions are set to rw 1 amandabackup backup. I can't understand why it's telling me permission denied each time. It will be a pleasure if you would help me.

Regards

Login to your amanda server and do this:

michael0@am26:~$ su -
Password:
root@am26:~# cd /var/log/amanda
root@am26:/var/log/amanda# ls -al
total 20
drwxrwx--- 4 backup backup 4096 2010-12-24 11:04 .
drwxr-xr-x 10 root root 4096 2010-12-27 06:27 ..
drwx------ 2 backup backup 4096 2010-12-24 11:17 amandad
-rw-r--r-- 1 backup backup 637 2010-12-23 17:20 amserverconfig.20101223172022.
