  68872   Wed Dec 12 10:44:57 2018 Warning Antonio Iulianoantonio.iuliano@cern.chQuestionLinux3.1.2xmalloc error when filling entries and chaning page

Dear ELOG experts,

the ELOG server on our lab crashes  continuosly, when we add a new entry or even if we click the arrows to navigate between entries. Following the FAQ on the website, I have used gdb and found the following error:

xmalloc: not enough memory

[Inferior 1 (process 23271) exited with code 01]

It should be then some allocation issue when we try to access to the entries, but I could not figure the nature of the issue. I was, however, able to reproduce it with a fresh ELOG installation and the same configuration file (ELOG cloned from git and installed today)

Could you please give me any suggestion? I attach here the configuration file we use.

Best regards,

Antonio Iuliano

  Draft   Thu Oct 21 14:57:14 2021  Chris Körnerchris.koerner@physik.uni-halle.deBug reportLinux3.14wrong server HTTP status code when login failed

Hi,

I am trying to access elog through a python client (https://github.com/paulscherrerinstitute/py_elog) and found a strage strange behavior which may be related server side problem. The python script generates get/post messages via the python requests library. This works fine so far and I can view and post messages. However, if a wrong user/password is provided, the server still returns HTTP status code "200 OK", although login failed. Instead, it should return something like "401 Unauthorized". This behavior later causes problems since the python client thinks login was successful. After experimenting around I think this could be caused by a server side misconfiguration. Any ideas?

I am not sure if this imformation is important: We use LDAP as user/password provider for elog.

  1004   Wed Mar 23 11:29:51 2005 Warning Emiliano GabrielliAlberT@SuperAlberT.itBug reportLinuxr1592wrong handling of attachment names
When an attached image name contains a space in its filename and attachment
display is enabled elog builds a wrong url to the image:

http://arcolog.roma2.infn.it:8080/ARCO/050309_170709/peeling+002.jpg

instead of the correct one:

http://arcolog.roma2.infn.it:8080/ARCO/050309_170709_peeling+002.jpg

The more annoing thing is that elogs hangs on this. a strace shows a select
on fd n°3 and 5 that loops forever (returning a timeout error):

send(4, "<141>Mar 23 11:36:25 elogd[22189"..., 35, 0) = 35
rt_sigaction(SIGPIPE, {SIG_IGN}, NULL, 8) = 0
select(1024, [3 5], NULL, NULL, {1, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)
select(1024, [3 5], NULL, NULL, {1, 0}) = 0 (Timeout)


May be the better solution is, after fixing the bug for backward
compatibility with already uploaded images, to implement a forced characters
substitution at upload time, replacing spaces and every character not in a
"allowed chars" list with an underscore

Newly installed elog gives this response when I try to submit a new record:

New entry cannot be written to directory "./logbooks/Linux/" 
Please check that it exists and elogd has write access

I started the daemon.  I've not yet assigned passwords -- just checking
things out.  How can I create this access to my own directory?
  148   Fri Nov 1 13:33:01 2002 Entry Willem KosterW.Koster@rc.rug.nlRequest  wrapping of text in edit field
I noticed a long url got hard-wrapped when I entered a long one, I patched 
the source code. I don't know if this was done intentionally, otherwise you 
might want to change this also.

diff elogd.c elogd.c.org 
4468c4468
<     rsprintf("<textarea rows=20 cols=%d wrap=soft name=Text>", width);
---
>     rsprintf("<textarea rows=20 cols=%d wrap=hard name=Text>", width);

BTW, why is the editor window 20 rows by 76 columns ?
(20 is fixed in the source code, but 76 is the width-variable that is set 
hard to:

  /* set textarea width */
  width = 76;

Now I don't like both parameters. 20 is too long for my display (1024x768) 
and 76 is too short. Something dynamically would be cool, but a parameter 
somewhere in a config file would also be acceptable. (just a thought, makes 
it easier to upgrade)
  66392   Fri Jun 12 16:59:18 2009 Question W.KosterW.Koster@rug.nlQuestionLinuxV2.7.6-219wrapping long lines in config file
Greetings,

I was wondering, is it possible to wrap lines in the config file ? 

I have to add a dropdown lost which is kinda long and typing everything on one line will make ik kinda unreadable.
Somehow wrapping the line so each entry will get on a separate line would make it much better readable. (which
makes less errors).
