The security-enabled logs directory (/var/logs/s2member) does not exist

go to your wp-content/plugins folder using filezila and create a directory called s2member-logs and inside that directory create a file called .htaccess open it and add <IfModule authz_core_module>
Require all denied
</IfModule>
<IfModule !authz_core_module>
deny from all
</IfModule>
to it and set chmod 777 to the directory

Thanks for your reply, Alex.
I actually already had this directory and the .htaccess-file. The file had this extra line though:

# Disallow directory indexing here.
Options -Indexes

I changed my logging configurations in the s2member menu “Log Files (Debug)” to “Yes” and set the chmod to 777 (directory “s2member-logs” & .htaccess) … but it still doesn’t work. ??

open function.php in your active theme and add
<?php var_dump($GLOBALS[‘WS_PLUGIN__’][‘s2member’][‘c’][‘logs_dir’]); ?> or
var_dump($GLOBALS[‘WS_PLUGIN__’][‘s2member’][‘c’][‘logs_dir’]); (see witch one works)
after that go back to your website and you should see something on the screen up in the corner or down paste it here

This is what it says in the corner:

string(18) “/var/logs/s2member”

what if you create a directory in your root instalation called var and inside another logs and inside logs s2member?what version of php you use?

I use PHP 5.6.
I tried it in the root menu (chmod 777), but it doesn’t change anything… ??

are you using linux or windows hosting?

Linux

Hi paste this code in your functions.php in your active theme

function s2member_temporary_log_fix_custom_fix(){
	return WP_PLUGIN_DIR."/s2member-logs";
}
$GLOBALS['WS_PLUGIN__']['s2member']['c']['logs_dir']          = apply_filters('ws_plugin__s2member_logs_dir', s2member_temporary_log_fix_custom_fix());

Then go to s2member->Log Files(Debug)->Logging Configuration and press update logging configuration let me know if works

Hm, nope: Doesn’t work.
I have tried it with the directory “var\logs\s2member\.htaccess” and within my plugin directory “s2member-logs\.htaccess” (and always checked for chmod 777): no changes.

Could you email your wordpress credentials of your website at [email protected] if you want of course.Can’t help you like this because this problem is specific to your website and I need to see by myself and try a fix.

Thanks for your offer. Are you working for s2member?

No I don’t work and I understand if you don’t want.

It’s just because it’s a pro plugin with security keys and passwords…
I’ll try the pro support again. Maybe it works even without being able to log files. And maybe I get back to you. Thanks again!
