<p>Hi Andreas, I opted for installing FCKeditor rather than Elog, since the debian package, even if outdated and broken, has some goodies like a systemd unit which is very handy for managing the daemon. I found FCKeditor 2.6.11 on SorceForge (after a long search, seems that CKeditor almost made his parent disappear from the web), unpacked it in the proper folder and now when I edit a page I can use the WYSIWYG editor. There are just two minor issues: the first is that no drop area for the attachments is shown (I had it on my old Debian 6 server) and that he toolbar of the editor has an ugly "Windows 95" look. This is a screenshot:</p>

<div>Hi Nicola,</div>
<div>this appears to be a particular problem of the specific (outdated) ELOG debian package.</div>
<div>But you could just download the FCKeditor directly and install it to the proposed location "/usr/share/fckeditor".</div>
<div>Or you download ELOG 3.1.1 and give it a try to install it with the makefile.</div>
<div>Cheers, Andreas</div>

<p>I suspect that this might be a Debian packaging issue; however no one replied to my <a href="http://forums.debian.net/viewtopic.php?f=5&t=125320">help request</a> on the Debian forums so I try posting the question also here. I insatlled Elog on my Debian Jessie machine, I can open it with a browser but when entering a new post just a simple plain text editing box is shown instead of the WYSIWYG editor, and no drag and drop area for attachments is shown. When I start the elog service with "systemctl start elog" I get this suspect message in the journal: "FCKedit NOT detected". Indeed, I see that the elog installation creates a symlink which I guess is supposed to point to the fckeditor installation, which nevertheless is missing:</p>
<blockquote>
<p><code>root@static-3-080:/usr/share/elog/scripts# ll fckeditor<br />
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Oct 25 2014 fckeditor -> ../../fckeditor<br />
root@static-3-080:/usr/share/elog/scripts# ll ../../fckeditor<br />
ls: cannot access ../../fckeditor: No such file or directory</code></p>
</blockquote>
<p>Is this a Deban misconfiguration or a bug in Elog? thanks</p>
