Hello Igor,
I am sorry but I don't know these tools - i never used them and don't really
know what I should do with them.
I am using Ubuntu 8.04 and strace is present so I ran it but it generated a log
of text on the screen that I didn't understand.
The user that is the owner of the log file is www-data and I did 'su www-data'
and then I could write in the log file manually so the problem doesn't seem
related to user rights.

Best Regards

Vladan
