How to setup elogd as windows service with shell execution?, posted by Robert Heine on Fri Sep 10 15:38:38 2010

Dear colleagues,
I am trying to use the elogd as a service with activated shell-execution. Invoking 'elogd -x' on the command line works fine, as well as 'elogd
-install'. The option 'elogd -x -install' does not seem to be implemented, so I followed two ways to get this to work: |

Hi, All. Ever since upgrading from an old ELOG release on an aging windows machine to the latest version on Scientific Linux 4 (RHEL4), and
greatly increasing its use, we have seen frequent crashes of elogd. This has become very disruptive to operations, and any help would be greatly
appreciated. We are using Apache (running on the same machine as elogd) to secure ELOG using https as per the Administrator's Guide.

There was a general problem in submitting entries. If the TCP connection between the browser and elog
disconnects during the transmission and only part of the request gets transferred, it consistently
crashed elog. The probability for this is large if you have a slow connection and long attachments. The problem

Indeed, uploading images over a satellite connection does not crash the development ELOG server available from SVN. Our user was unable to
crash
elogd (or upload an image) and reports "The upload window would complain about an "upstream server", but the site was still there."

Hi, Stefan. When someone using a satellite connection tries to upload an attachment *or* edit a long entry, it fails and they are presented
with an "Internal Server Error." This is a huge improvement over the previous behavior of crashing elogd, but we were wondering if there is any
hope of improving this further so that one can edit large entries or upload attachments over a slow (in this case, satellite) connection. Do

fckedit and creating tables, posted by Arno Teunisse on Mon Sep 6 21:21:25 2010

Hello
Using windows7 and the elogd 2.7.7 built Jul 31 2009, 13:01:20 revision 2246. I noticed a bug in the tables created with fckeditor. When
on winxp there is no problem. So it seems windows7 related. |

Synchronizing mirror causes corruption of logbook entries with multiple logbooks defined?, posted by Glenn Horton-Smith on Fri Aug 27 23:11:45 2010

We have been experiencing corruption of logbook entries by elogd mirror synchronization. Has anyone else encountered this? Is there a known cause and/or
workaround for it?
Details
We have two elog servers set up with identical elogd.cfg and password files, except that one server has "Mirror server" |

elog editor loses all text, posted by Kontantin Olchanski on Wed Aug 4 23:46:34 2010

I just typed a long text into this elog, clicked "submit" and it bombed with "you must select an Icon", returned me to the editor
with all my text gone gone gone. I do not want to select icons, I just want to report a problem with elog. Well, 2 problems, now.

elog keeps recreating preview .png files?, posted by Kontantin Olchanski on Wed Aug 4 23:52:08 2010
|
Hi, I rsync an elog database from CERN to TRIUMF every few months and I notice that rsync keeps copying preview files (xxx.png.png, xxx.gif.png, etc)
from very old entries. I guess that elogd creates these files from scratch each time they are needed, overwriting any previously existing preview files.
This creates extra rsync network traffic and rsync takes longer to complete. Is there any way to avoid this? K.O. |
