Subject: Periodic backup doesn't work .. 

Hi,

I installed ELOG on other machine for making automatic backups. I copied the .cfg file to the slave and edited the .cfg file on the original machine (mirror server entries).
(automatic configuration with -C didn't work somehow - maybe a firewall problem)

Then I tried to synchronize manually, which works great.
I set the mirror cron = 0 7-18 * * 1-5, as written as example in the documents, but nothing happens at full hours.

There's something else strange: I can't access "https://lx0.mydomain.org/" or "http://lx1.mydomain.org:8082/" directly. The browser just keeps loading - showing an empty page (and an error message after a long while). I have to add the name of the logbook to the link. Why is that?
If I set different paths in the [global HBAR] and [global SMI] areas (like URL = https://lx0.mydomain.org/hbar/), I can access the links above (giving me the overview page as expected), but I can't access the logbooks itself anymore.

However, that's not a big problem (I can access the logbooks via direct link and see all the others in the same group and switch to them), but the backup thing is.

 

So, main machine is lx0.mydomain.org and the backup machine is lx1...

Attached are my config files.
I deleted many of the logbook specific entries, since they aren't important and just look like the first one.

Hope anyone can help,
Roland.
