Hi Andreas, I opted for the first solution since the Debian package, although outdated and broken, has some goodies like a systemd unit for managing the daemon which is very handy. I downloaded FCKeditor 2.6.11 from SourceForge (after a long search, seems that CKeditor made its parent almost disappear from the web), unpacked it in the proper folder and not the WYSIWYG editor works. I have just a couple of minor issues: there is no attachment drop area (I had it in my old Debian 6 server) and the editor toolbar has an ugly "Windows 95" look; see the attached image. I can live with these problems but if the can be easily fixed then obviously I would do that, can you give me any hint? Thank you very much.

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this appears to be a particular problem of the specific (outdated) ELOG debian package.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

I suspect that this might be a Debian packaging issue; however no one replied to my help request 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:
root@static-3-080:/usr/share/elog/scripts# ll fckeditor
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 15 Oct 25 2014 fckeditor -> ../../fckeditor
root@static-3-080:/usr/share/elog/scripts# ll ../../fckeditor
ls: cannot access ../../fckeditor: No such file or directory
Is this a Deban misconfiguration or a bug in Elog? thanks
