Upgrading to 2.9, posted by Maureen Kular on Mon May 2 22:39:23 2011
|
I am in the process of upgrading from 2.6.0 to 2.9.0. I am installing it on a windows 2008 r2 server which is 64 bit. I am having a few issues and am just wondering if Windows 2008 R2 is support with version 2.9.0. Is there anything I need to know about the installation other than just run the exe file? So far I have run the exe file and installed the software, the service is running, however I cannot get into the application. I do not have IIS installed, it does mention it in the installation documentation, is this a requirement? Any hints or ideas at this point would be appreciated. I am close I just need that last tweek. Thanks |

Filter on attribute value for list items, posted by Wolfgang Bayer on Fri Apr 29 11:20:50 2011
|
Hello @all,
for a logbook I have also to set up a guest access. As I want to have a login page first opening the logbook, I created a second logbook entry in the elog.cfg that points to the same subdir as the original logbook. The idea of this guest access is, that users who have no login rights can read selected items with selected attributes. Therefor I restricted the guest account with all available "Guest"-commands in the elog.cfg.
But this is not sufficient. Let's suppose I have an attribute called 'Accessibility' with options 'public' and 'private'. What I am searching for is a filter command for the list display, i.e. if an entry has the accessibility flag 'public', a guest sees this entry in the list and can access it. But if the entry has the accessibility flag private, the entry should not be displayed for guests but for users, that are logged in.
I read the administrator guide carefully, but I didn't found a command that provides for that. Does such a filtering command for the list exist? If not, is it possible to implement one?
Best regards,
Wolfgang Bayer |

Hyphens in email addresses, posted by Ben Shepherd on Thu Apr 28 09:27:52 2011
|
Hi,
I have a user on our system who keeps getting shut out - she can register, but after a few days her login always stops working. The only thing that I can see that's different about her is that her email address has a hyphen in it (firstname.last-name@stfc.ac.uk). I have tried registering myself with a hyphenated email address, and the same thing happens. Any idea what might be going on here? Is eLog doing some sort of automatic cleanup after a day or two, and rejecting a confirmed email address because it's got a hyphen in it?
Thanks

elog2sql - a script to convert elog logbooks to a MySQL database, posted by Fred Hooper on Thu Jul 3 07:25:49 2003
|
Announcing: elog2sql
elog2sql was created to help translate logbooks created by the program
``elog'' from the native elog flat file format to a MySQL database. I had a
need to have the elog data in a database, and it appears from the forum that
several others had a similar need.
I created a set of perl scripts that will allow the translation of elog
logbooks into a MySQL database. The design and implementation of these
scripts are a simple one, and allow the one-time copying of a set of logbooks.
The elog2sql toolkit consists of two scripts. The first script, parsecfg.pl,
reads a elogd.cfg, and creates a sql file that will create a set of db
tables corresponding to elog logbooks. The second script, parselog.pl, takes
a set of elog logfiles, and creates a sql file that will enter the logbook
data into the database. The result is a copy of the elog logbook that can
used as desired inside the framework of MySQL. Attachments are handled by
inserting an entry of the attachment name into an seperate attachment table.
This allows multiple attachments per entry.
You can download the elog2sql program archive at
http://www.davidfannin.com/elog2sql/elog2sql.tar.gz . It contains the
scripts and basic documentation. You can read the man page at
http://www.davidfannin.com/elog2sql/index.html

Automatic Copy to , posted by Chris Warner on Fri Jan 13 13:16:25 2006

No, you have to copy entries manually with the "Copy to" menu command. For that, you have to put something like
Menu commands = List, New, Edit, Copy to, Delete, Reply, Duplicate, Find, Config, Help
into your configuration file. |

Stefan,
Is there any way I might be able to initiate the 'copy to' function by selecting a 'tick box' (boolean) or conditional attribute choice in an entry page when submitting that page? We have a requirement where we run a main 'Operations' log and have another log with some entries needing to be in both (for additional actions etc). I understand the Operator can always manually use the 'Copy To' function after submitting the original entry but was wondering if there was some way a shell script (execute function?) or similar may be activated by a boolean or even a 'conditional' choice?
Thx |

Hi Stefan,
Any progress on this whish?
We are evaluating Elog to use it as disaster management log so we need to be able to have several logs that merges into one big log where analytic people can see the whole picture/timeline of whats going on in one single logg.
It can very well be as easy as a elog command-line option that initiates the whole thing with the help of Cron/Sheduler but the best would of course be to copy the whole idea from the mirroring function also for the copy/move task.
....or if there is a possibility to write directly to other logs than the current one in the moment of saving the entry....
Best,
Pelle |

I haven't tried openvas, but added a check for the negative content-length you have in the request
above in SVN revision 2413. Can you try if it still crashes?

Authentication error message, posted by soren poulsen on Tue Mar 15 17:37:19 2011
|
It is very good to have Kerberos authentication available. It is just the error message which is a bit cryptic.
If you enter your Kerberos password once, and later fail to authenticate with a wrong password, you get:
Kerberos error:
Decrypt integrity check failed.
Please check your Kerberos configuration
That is not really urgent!

Can you tell me how to reproduce this? If I do it here, I just get back to the login page:
Maybe it has to do with your specific Kerberos implementation? What server are you using?

I am sorry but I cannot reproduce this any more. It happened several times when I was testing different kinds of wrong user input to the authentication dialog but now there is no issue any longer. However, there has been other issues lately in this domain and it may be that the Kerberos installation has been patched by our automatic update installation.
Case closed! Thanks anyway for responding.

Creating a form or table, posted by Terry Shuck on Thu Mar 24 16:37:55 2011

Hi Terry,
it is not exactly clear to me what you want.
You can define many different types of attributes to an entry.
Like this logbook has "Icon", "Author", "Author Email", "Category", ...
That automatically creates a form for the input.
Or you can have some pre-filled text in the text area, like a pre-defined table.
E.g. with the following line:
Preset Text = input-form.html
Every new entry will now contain the content of the file input-form.html
which could be some table or list, ... |

Thank you very much for your replies Stefan and Andreas!
I've played with the Preset Text = input-form.html however when I open a new form it just has text in there stating "input-form.html. I feel like I'm missing a way for the Configuration to find my html file.
I feel like I am close but I'm missing one piece of data. Here is what I'd like to have, when I click "New" I'd like this table to be automatically inserted in the body.

If you see only the file name it means that elogd cannot find the file, it's probably in the wrong directory. Have you put it into the "logbooks" directory? Like c:\Program Files\ELOG\logbooks\ ? |
