Hello Kostas,
Can you check the permission of logs folder under your Joomla installation? Seems like it don't have correct permissions.

Kind regards,

Hello Tharuna,
The problem has returned but the permissions for the logs folder are 755.
Any Idea?
Thanks.

Hello Kostas,
The error is because CSVI is not able to write the content to log file in logs folder. This can happen only with folder permission and there could be no other cause for it.

Hello Kostas,

As Tharuna said it can only be permissions but not only the 755 status of the folder but also the user and group of a folder must be correct.

Since you said it worked and later it didn't, what has changed?

Kind regards,

Hello Roland,
I don't know if something has changed.
I've changed permissions to 777 and the error disappeared.
Then, I've changed permissions back to 755 and now it works.
I don't know where was the problem.
Thanks.
Best Regards
Kostas

Hello Roland,
probably, the problem solved whenI I emptied the Trash folder on my Cpanel .
Lack of space.
Thanks,
