 | Anand Sengupta | anandss@iucaa.ernet.in | Question | Linux | | Help with configuration newbie |
Hi,
We have set up a elog server at our institute. The configuration file is
attached. We have the following queries:
1. When replying to another reply in a thread, the author_name attribute is
not substitued (as desired). Since this is a mandatory field, we are not
able to send the reply message. However, reply to the originial message
works fine.
2. "Use Email From = string" prepends an additional "" to the "From"
field in the e-mails.
3. "Fixed Attributes Reply = Subject" fixes the subject line while replying.
However when we add "Category" attribute to this list, it breaks.
Can someone help us?
Suggestions and tips will be thankfully recieved. |

 | Stefan Ritt | stefan.ritt@psi.ch | Question | Linux | 2.5.6-1 | Re: MIME encoding of mail? | What you can try is to debug the communication between elogd and the SMTP
server. Just turn on logging via
Logfile = log.txt
Logging level = 3
After sending email, you see the conversation in log.txt. Maybe this gives you
some hints. |

Preset on reply Author = $long_name
Do not use "Remove on reply".

This has been fixed recently, please update.

I tried to use your config file and add
Fixed attributes reply = Subject, Category
and it worked as expected. What kind of "break" did you observe? |

For me, when I put the Category in the fixed attributes for reply, I see the
Category but when I actually try to send the message - it says Category not
entered. I am sure I am doing something very stupid. Please help.

No, it was a bug, which I could reproduce now. I fixed it in revision 1.554. It will
be contained in the next release. |

For MOptions, you have to append an "_n" to each attribute to distinguish
different options for the same attribute, like
elog -h localhost -p 8080 -l Lab -a "Site_0=Home" -a "Site_1=Work" ...
Even if you only use one attribute, the trailing "..._0" is necessary. I will
add a note to the documentation. |

| Erich Beyrent | erich.beyrent@beyrent.net | Question | Other | 2.5.7-1 | Configuration problems | I am trying to run eLog under Apache 2 on my FreeBSD 5.3 server. I started
the daemon with "elogd -n <my hostname> -p 8080" and when I connect to my
server on that port, I get a 500 server configuration error. The Apache log
contains this:
malformed header from script. Bad header=Please specify hostname.: elog
I am running elogd 2.5.7-1 built Feb 14 2005, 09:55:19 revision 1.558
Any assistance would be greatly appreciated!

- make sure your proxy definition in httpd.conf is correct and it uses port 8080
- start elogd with the "-v" flag to see the communication between Apache and elogd
- maybe you might need an "URL = http://<my hostname>/<elog dir>/" in the config
file |
