Can not open,/var/log/cassandra/gc.log due to Permission denied












2















What do /var/log files serve for?When I try to run cassandra on my Ubuntu 16.04



OpenJDK 64-Bit Server VM warning: Cannot open file /var/log/cassandra/gc.log due to Permission denied


Later



19:47:58,887 |-INFO in ch.qos.logback.core.rolling.RollingFileAppender[SYSTEMLOG] - Active log file name: /var/log/cassandra/system.log

at java.io.FileNotFoundException: /var/log/cassandra/system.log (Permission denied)


Why do I have these problems?
This is my java



java -version
openjdk version "1.8.0_151"
OpenJDK Runtime Environment (build 1.8.0_151-8u151-b12-0ubuntu0.16.04.2-b12)

These are the permissions
