MMDVMHost: unable to open the log file

[alex-v-fraser]

Hello!

I try to install MMDVMHost into Synology Virtual Machine. First I install Debian 12 (clean install). Then I make MMDVMHost I get the same error every time I try to start MMDVMHost: unable to open the log file I tried to start from bash and as service - the same result. I tried i386, amd64 - the same error. My system is:

$ uname -a
Linux mmdvm 6.1.0-25-amd64 #1 SMP PREEMPT_DYNAMIC Debian 6.1.106-3 (2024-08-26) x86_64 GNU/Linux

My config is: the file /usr/local/sbin/mmdvmhost_service (only changed strings)

# Service Config
DAEMON=MMDVMHost
DAEMON_PATH=/opt/MMDVMHost
CONFIG=/opt/MMDVMHost/MMDVM.ini
DAEMON_OPTS=$CONFIG
PGREP=/usr/bin/pgrep
KILL=/bin/kill
SLEEP=/bin/sleep
USER=root
GROUP=root
LOGDIR=/var/log/pi-star

the file /lib/systemd/system/mmdvmhost.service

[Unit]

[Service]

ExecStop=/usr/local/sbin/mmdvmhost_service stop
ExecReload=/usr/local/sbin/mmdvmhost_service restart

In MMDVM.ini I didn't make any changes in LOG

[Log]
# Logging levels, 0=No logging

Will you help me please?
