I'm running elog 2.9.2 on a Red Hat 6.3 server. This installation has been running for some time on a Solaris server, and was recently moved to the RHEL server.

When a user tries to upload a .bmp attachment, the upload never completes, eventually timing out with a proxy error. At that point, the elogd process stops responding to requests and needs to be restarted. Nothing is in the log file other than a "Listening" message when elogd starts up. Png and pdf attachments seem to work fine. I was able to convert an image from .bmp to .png and upload, but that's not practical for my user.

ImageMagick 6.5.4-7 is installed on the server. Everything else seems to be working normally.

Is this a known problem, or have I missed something that needs to be installed on the RHEL server?

 Hi David,

I've just tested it on my server running ELOG V2.9.0-2414, Scientific Linux 5.7 (RHEL 5.?) with ImageMagick 6.2.8: the attachment is uploaded but no preview is generated. No problem with the server.

What was the behaviour of your Solaris system? Did it upload? Did it create a preview?

BMP files are - in my experience - often very large. Could it be a file size problem? Did you try with a small BMP image?

Kind Regards
Andreas

 Hi Andreas,

Bmp attachments worked fine on the Solaris server. Was running 2.9.2 with ImageMagick 5.5.7.

 

I don't think it's a file size issue, the image I'm testing with is only about 3 MB.
