Environment

Novell iPrint for Linux
Novell Open Enterprise Server 2 (OES 2) Linux Support Pack 2

Situation

"unable to open log file for writing: No such file or directory" appears when migrating using iprintmig on the command line.
 
 

Resolution

Do the following to resolve the issue:
  1. Open a terminal and log in as root.
  2. Create the directory and file for logging.
    #mkdir -p /var/opt/novell/log/migration/;touch iprintmig.log
  3. Rerun the migration.

Additional Information

Cause:  If the /var/opt/novell/log/migration/iprintmig.log path and file doe not exist, the iprintmig command will fail. The iprintmig utility does not create the iprintmig.log file automatically.
