Question

I'm working with vagrant and chef . As far as everything goes , only when I use the Logpath of mysql and mongodb change in the vagrant file , I get an error.

if anyone here has a tip and can help me would be happy.

In Vagrantfile I have stated so ...

:mysql => {
        :server_root_password => 'password',
        :server_debian_password => 'password',
        :server_repl_password => 'password',
        :allow_remote_root => true,
        :log_dir => "/vagrant/www/logs/mysql",
        :tunable => {
          :log_slow_queries => "/vagrant/www/logs/mysql/slow.log",
          :log_error => true,
          :log_warnings => true
        }
},
:mongodb => {
      :logpath => "/vagrant/www/logs/mongodb"
},

Answer 1

This line is the key problem: Operation not permitted - /vagrant/www/logs/mysql

which means it does not allow user to create directory under this path. Please check if user mysql is privileged to access directory /vagrant/www/logs . Maybe you need +x on /vagrant

Answer 2

First, I would not advise using this -- slow log writes will slow down most databases and I wouldn't want to do that to myself.

Anyhow, permissions on vagrant shared folders can be a bit tricky -- in some, if not many, cases you need to set owner / permission from the vagrantfile. This is a bit tricky for /vagrant but you could map another folder if you really don't want to vagrant ssh into the server to read the logs. To do so:

config.vm.synced_folder "logs", "/logs", :mount_options => ['dmode=777', 'fmode=777']

777 is probably overkill but you get the idea.
