Log File Permission Error Every Day

Ever since I upgrade to .27, I get a crash every day because the laravel log file is created as the root user. Assuming this is not a bug, How do I tell Akaunting to create the file as the correct user?

Here's the error I get EVERY. DAY. since upgrading to .27 and when a new log file is created - I chown and I'm good for another 24 hours:

UnexpectedValueException
HTTP 500 Internal Server Error
The stream or file "/akaunting/storage/logs/laravel-2021-11-18.log" could not be opened in append mode: failed to open stream: Permission denied

Hello Scott. I Believe you are running your project in self-hosted installation right?

Take a look at this tutorial to fix your project permissions.

Hi, Thanks for the reply! Correct, self-hosted and Unfortunately, I have all those permissions set: All files are 644 and all directories are 755.

The problem is, the log file is getting created by the root user. Everything was working fine until I upgraded to 2.1.27.
