Any assistance would be appreciated

Also, i have recently changed the hostname of the box... Munin has another profile of the hostname... Which config can i remove munin node servers?

Best Regards,

Did you come up with a solution for this? I have the same issue...

/var/log is locked to root only.

So if your whm user does not have root permissions this is why you get this error.

You could ask your provider to chown on the folder if they would if its a dedicated server then they should do it no problems.

if you have su access over ssh you could also chown the folder.
