systemctl restart webcallserver hangs b/c of chown process

[Dani]

When I restart webcallserver it will not get restarted.
looks like there is a chown process running by the flashphoner user on the log folder, that doesn't end.
the only solution I've found is to kill the chown process and then webcallserver starts.
is there a way to prevent it ?

Good day.

is there a way to prevent it ?

Please stop the server and clean excessive logs, then start it again

sudo systemctl stop webcallserver
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/logs/*
sudo systemctl start webcallserver

Also, please clarify what WCS build do you use? Since build 5.2.976 WCS startup script does not set permissions before starting the server, but has a separate operation for it

sudo /usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/bin/webcallserver set-permissions

Anyway, this is bad practice to store obsoleted logs for years.

Note:
After using
sudo rm -rf /usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/logs/*
and restarting wcs, the admin console password of WCS gets changed

This behaviour concerns AWS EC2 instances only. In AWS EC2, we recommend to clean the logs keeping folders structure:

find /usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/logs/ -type f -delete
rm -rf /usr/local/FlashphonerWebCallServer/logs/client_logs/*
