File permissions log4j2 with RollingFile - file

I have problem with file permissions with RollingFile and log4j2 configuration.
Application is creating log file as follows:
-rwxr-xr-x. 1 centos centos 10379932 Feb 8 13:55 application.log
after rolling files read permissions for others are missing. I'm not using any permissions setting with log4j
-rw-r-----. 1 root root 524 Feb 9 13:42 application.log
-rw-r-----. 1 root root 462705 Feb 9 10:24 application.log.1.gz
umask is: 0022
my log4j2.xml
<RollingFile name="test_app" fileName="${sys:application.home}/logs/application.log" ignoreExceptions="false" filePattern="${sys:application.home}/logs/application.log.%i.gz">
<PatternLayout pattern="%d{dd-MMM-yyyy HH:mm:ss,SSS} - %X{userId} - %X{sessionId} %-5p %c{1}:%L - %m%n"/>
<Policies>
<SizeBasedTriggeringPolicy size="10MB"/>
</Policies>
<DefaultRolloverStrategy max="50"/>
</RollingFile>
I have 2 environments and on the second one permissions are as expected (application and log4j2 configuration is the same)
Where can I search the problem?

How to use Selenium with Firefox browser when I have no display

I am newly assigned to this shared hosting (ssh access only). Have no sudo or yum facility. I am trying to scrape some data from a dynamically loaded website [So, can't use scrapy or bs]. When I am using Selenium, it gives an error:

Apparently, I have no screen on this server as I have checked by the following command:
$ echo $DISPLAY
It displays nothing.
I have already set the browser option to headless mode [within the python code].
And, I have also done the following:
$ export MOZ_HEADLESS = 1
And yes, I cannot use the virtual screen like xvfb because even when I am able to pip install the related wrapper, I still cannot install xvfb because I don't have sudo or yum [and cannot find a .tar.bz2 or tar.gz file].
How can I run the selenium browser without having to open the browser on any screen altogether? [Tried PhantomJS() too, even that's not working]

certbort commands return ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_cffi_backend'

I followed a guide to get my python flask app running and I am at the last step where I change http into https with certbot. But when I run my certbot command sudo certbot --nginx -d domainname -d www.domainname I get ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_cffi_backend'

ModuleNotFoundError: No module named '_cffi_backend'
I hope someone can help as I have found a lot of people asking questions about this mysterious _cffi_backend thing.
Some more info:
If I do python3 -m pip install cffi it says requirement already satisfied.
I have also gotten this error when installing other things and trying different peoples solutions.
'ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'apt_pkg'
that seems to be fixed by doing sudo apt-get install python3-apt --reinstall but now I get: ImportError: cannot import name '_gi' from partially initialized module 'gi' (most likely due to a circular import) (/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/__init__.py)
I also made a symbolic link with /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/apt_pkg.so -> apt_pkg.cpython-36m-x86_64-linux-gnu.so
something other people said would work. I am running python 3.8 but probably have 3.6 on the server as well. If I do python it opens the 3.8 shell. Also I am running ubuntu 18.04.4.

ii python3-cryptography 2.1.4-1ubuntu1.3 amd64 Python library exposing cryptographic recipes and primitives (Python 3)
This fixes the problem:
pip install -U cffi
The solution ended up being to install sudo apt install python3-pip python3-dev build-essential libssl-dev libffi-dev python3-setuptools but not in any virtual environment and then to install cffl with pip3 also not in any virtual environment.
On an Ubuntu 18.04 system there were multiple version of python3 installed, with the default python3 (3.9) being different to the (apt managed) system version (3.6). Using update-alternatives to set the default to the system version allowed certbot to run as expected. E.g.:
update-alternatives --config python3
There are 3 choices for the alternative python3 (providing /usr/bin/python3).
Selection Path Priority Status

Press <enter> to keep the current choice[*], or type selection number: 1
Then switch it back when done.
You can try following solution, if the solution above doesn't work for you..
pip3 -vvv install --upgrade --force-reinstall cffi

How to install Aerospike on Mac?

I tried following: https://www.aerospike.com/docs/operations/install/vagrant/mac/
and did following:
mkdir aerospike-vm
cd aerospike-vm
vagrant init aerospike/aerospike-ce
This creates Vagrantfile in the same directory.
Next I try:
vagrant up
Getting error:

Can somebody tell me where the solution for this problem is? Already wasted 2 hours...
Try removing the final slash from the directory names in your cfg_dir definitions and see if that doesn´t get it to recognize the cfg files in that directory.
For example,
Change:
cfg_dir=/etc/nagiosql/hosts/
...
cfg_dir=/etc/nagiosql/services/
To:
cfg_dir=/etc/nagiosql/hosts
...
cfg_dir=/etc/nagiosql/services
EDIT:
Okay I think directory permissions may be causing the cfg_dir evaulations to fail. According to the ls -alh output you listed, your /etc/nagiosql/hosts/, /etc/nagiosql/services/, and /etc/nagiosql/ directories do not grant write permissions to the nagios group. Nagios will need to get a directory listing for those directories and will need group write permissions to do it.
To remedy:
chmod g+w /etc/nagiosql/hosts/
chmod g+w /etc/nagiosql/services/
Restart nagios service.
Also, you don't need to remove the slashes from the directory paths in the nagios cfg_dir configurations. Nagios will strip the trailing slash (/) for you, according to the code:
https://github.com/NagiosEnterprises/nagioscore/blob/eb8e83d5d05e572eb8c0d4d4764885c5427b4b69/xdata/xodtemplate.c#L327
/* process all files in a config directory */ else if(!strcmp(var, "xodtemplate_config_dir") || !strcmp(var, "cfg_dir")) {
if(config_base_dir != NULL && val[0] != '/') {
asprintf(&cfgfile, "%s/%s", config_base_dir, val);
} else
cfgfile = strdup(val);
/* strip trailing / if necessary */ if(cfgfile != NULL && cfgfile[strlen(cfgfile) - 1] == '/')
cfgfile[strlen(cfgfile) - 1] = '\x0';
/* process the config directory... */ result = xodtemplate_process_config_dir(cfgfile, options);
my_free(cfgfile);
/* if there was an error processing the config file, break out of loop */ if(result == ERROR)
break; } }
EDIT #2: In the host definition you posted, your register value is set to 0. Try setting it to 1 instead. register 0 is used for templates that will be inherited from, but will not actually show up in the Nagios UI.
Change:
define host {
host_name GIT
alias GIT Server
address 172.25.10.80
register 0
}
To:
define host {
host_name GIT
alias GIT Server
address 172.25.10.80
register 1
}
Also please set register 1 for your service definitions as well.
Try adding executable permissions to your directories. Some programs and languages require +x permissions in order to actually open the directory.
If that doesn't work, temporarily set everything to 0777 permissions to see if the issue is permissions related at all.
You also have config problems even if you get that part working. Your host and service configs don't have a use directive in them, which points to a template that would have most of the default values. The register directive is implied as 1 unless you specifically set it to 0 for a template. See the object definitions docs if you need a reference: https://assets.nagios.com/downloads/nagioscore/docs/nagioscore/3/en/objectdefinitions.html

which shows that org.datanucleus.cache.JavaxCacheLevel2Cache is present in datanucleus-core-3.1.0-m5.jar. Yet, when I try to access entities that have been persisted before this cache was enabled, I get the following error on the server side.
org.datanucleus.exceptions.NucleusUserException: Level 2 Cache "javax.cache" is registered to use class "org.datanucleus.cache.JavaxCacheLevel2Cache" yet this is not found. Please check your CLASSPATH and plugin specification.
Further down the exception stack trace, I find:
Caused by: java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError: javax/cache/Caching
at org.datanucleus.cache.JavaxCacheLevel2Cache.<init>(JavaxCacheLevel2Cache.java:63)
Now, that is clear but where can I find this javax.cache.Caching? Which JAR should I need to include in the classpath? A cursory Google search does not immediately answer my question.
Thanks.
Google "memcached" uses an old version of what will become the standard "javax.cache". DataNucleus 3.0 supports only this old version (with properties as you have). DataNucleus 3.1 supports both the old version of javax.cache and the most recent. To use the old version (i.e GAE memcached) with DN 3.1 you need to set the property datanucleus.cache.level2.type to jcache. See http://www.datanucleus.org/products/accessplatform_3_1/jpa/cache.html#jcache
Why you're using DataNucleus version 3.1.0-m3/m5 I've no idea when there are many releases since then!
