I have 'write' permissions on the folder; enough that the file, 'Kernel-System-Stats-StateAction-2006-06.cache' was able to write to it a few days ago.

For the SysLog file in SysConfig, I have '/tmp/otrs.log' as the LogFile name (using the default) which I'm ASSUMING that this implies that this folder is located in the 'var' subdirectory.

As another attempt, I manually created the 'otrs.log' file with 777 and placed it in '/tmp/otrs.log' (which is contained in 'var') subdir. I logged in then out of a test account in order to generate a line entry in the log. The 'System Log' on the web interface was updated, but nothing was written to the 'otrs.log' file I created.

Any ideas?

Thanks.

To: otrs@otrs.org Message-ID: Content-Type: text/plain; format=flowed That did it! I used the full path '/usr/.../otrs/var/tmp/otrs.log' and now the file has been created by the system (prior to this last test, I deleted the file I manually created) and is being updated with each syslog entry!

Check the Queue Settings for "Follow Up Option" - for what you want, "reject" may be appropriate.

Hello.

1) How to convert 'customers' (signed up via customer.pl) into 'agents' (move them into the 'users' table)?

I'd like to find a way to have prospective agents to signup themselves with the info provided in my customized 'customer.pl' form and then I, as superadmin, give them full agent permissions. I would also want all of their prior E-mail ticket correspondence history to go with them with the move.

2) What significance is the 'ro/rw' in the 'Admin Group' or 'FAQ Group' or 'Stats Group' or 'Users Group' when "CustomerGroupSupport" is activated? If 'ro/rw' is checked for the 'Admin Group', would they be able to login via the index.pl form? If so, what activities would they be able to do?

Do folks really put those signed up via the customer.pl form into the 'Admin Group' shown in "CustomerGroupSupport" without first making them full-fledged agents? If so, for what purpose or scenario? What functions/activities can they really do with those limited permissions?

Thanks in advance.

Wouldn't that prevent that the user replies to the ticket while is opened? I'd like he could add notes or comments until I've had closed the ticket.
