Issue

  • {LIFERAY_HOME}Liferay logs are output under /logs/, but I want to change the permission of the output logs.

Environment

  • DXP 7.0+

solution

  • The output log permissions depend on the settings in catalina.sh.
  • Tomcat is set to "UMASK=0027" by default, so the permission setting for the output log is "640(rw-r-----)".
  • Changing this behavior requires adjustments on the Tomcat side.
