Warning: fopen(/tmp/tribe_tmp_file_logger_2017-04-05.log): failed to open stream

I found a kinda related issue online: https://theeventscalendar.com/support/forums/topic/warning-file_exists-open_basedir-restriction-in-effect-2/ which said to add a filter for “tribe_file_logger_directory”. I tried adding filters for several of the filtered strings in ‘File_Logger.php’ with no luck because the logging action is executed before functions.php.

I’ve implemented a workaround for now on the sites experiencing the issue. functions.php:

if (class_exists('Tribe__Log__File_Logger')) {
	class New_Tribe__Log__File_Logger extends Tribe__Log__File_Logger {
		public function get_log_file_name() {
			return parent::get_log_file_name();
		}
	};
	$newtribelogger = new New_Tribe__Log__File_Logger();
	$tribelogfile = $newtribelogger->get_log_file_name();
	if (getmyuid() == fileowner($tribelogfile)) {
		chmod($tribelogfile, 0777);
	}
	unset($newtribelogger); unset($tribelogfile);
}

As you can see it isn’t even easy to get the log file name from the plugin since that function is protected. My script has to try retrieve the current log filename, check if the current user owns it, and then make it world readable/writable so that the other sites don’t throw an error.

Hi @abdullahthinkun,

Thanks for your patience.

If you don’t need or want logging, you can disable it via the settings in the Events → Help screen. On the other hand:

I tried adding filters for several of the filtered strings in ‘File_Logger.php’ with no luck because the logging action is executed before functions.php.

Using a theme’s functions.php file isn’t always ideal for exactly this sort of reason. How about using a mu-plugin (or regular plugin) for this instead?

Thanks for your reply. I wasn’t aware of the Events → Help screen. I’ve look at it now and it reports that logging is already disabled on both of the offending sites, which is very odd.

I will try the plugin method.

OK – hopefully that works for you. If not or if you find this is still a problem, I’d love to know what the trigger for this issue might be (ie if it occurs when you try to perform a certain function on a certain admin screen, or something like that).
