logbooks entries. The error occurs when we use the preview option.
After this, the connection becomes slow to display the preview and returns
"Server Not Found - Page cannot be displayed" or "Internal Server error" as result.
If we try to turn back to the edit page the browser retuns
"This page has been expired".
It happens at any time even we edit simple entries in Internet Explorer,
but never occurs in other browsers.
Software versions that are running :
Elog version 2.6.0-beta
Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow)
Apache/2.0.54 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.54 OpenSSL/0.9.7g
(Elog is running under apache proxy)
Is there any bug report about this or there is something else
that I need to configure ? |
I tried on this forum with Internet Explorer 6.0 and could not reproduce the problem, and I never heared anybody else mentioning this problem. Can you reproduce the problem on the forum? |

Hi Stefan,

I couldn't reproduce the problem in this forum too, and I'm using Internet Explorer to edit this entry now... :-D
I did some new tests and at this time I tried to submit new entries using the ELOG default port
without proxy, because I realized that this Forum doesn't use https (maybe uses proxy).
I edited and used preview many times and the ELOG worked fine without errors in IE.
So, I think my problem is something configured in the proxy or https that Internet Explorer
doesn't work very well in this circumstance.
Do you know problems like this ?
Is there anybody else using ELOG under https ?
My proxy configuration :
| Quote: |
1) http (default port 80):
# Redirect to ELOG - Logbook
Redirect permanent /elog https://antares.ccuec.unicamp.br:9696
2) https (I need to use other different port number) :
<VirtualHost 143.106.80.30:9696>
# Here be standard configuration for the Virtual Host
ServerName antares.ccuec.unicamp.br:9696
ServerAdmin suporte@ccuec.unicamp.br
# This be the path to the elog directory
# (This didn't seem to make any difference, but it be a good
# idea nonetheless)
DocumentRoot "/www/elog"
# Here be the setup for the SSL component of the Virtual Host
SSLEngine On
SSLCertificateFile /www/apache/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
SSLCertificateKeyFile /www/apache/conf/ssl.key/server.key
# Here be the setup options for the Proxy module
ProxyRequests Off
ProxyPreserveHost On
# This be the root of the new Virtual Host, and it should be
# redirected to the port the elogd server is listening to
# (8081 on our poop deck).
<Location />
<Location />
ProxyPass http://antares.ccuec.unicamp.br:8081/

Thanks in advance.

Have a look at your URL = ... statement in elogd.cfg
It should probably read
URL = https://antares.ccuec.unicamp.br:9696
ELOG uses redirection internally. To determine it's own address, it uses the URL statement. If you use Apache as an proxy together with https, you have to specify the URL under which you usually access ELOG from outside. If this is wrong, ELOG might try to redirect to http:// or something which might not be possible.
A good way to debug this is to run ELOG with the -v flag and carefully watch the HTTP traffic. You will see Location: ... statements which redirect the browser, then the browser will access the redirected URL (if it's correct), or you will see nothing (in case the browser tries to access a non-existing URL). |

 | Yoshio Imai | | Question | Linux | 2.6.0beta5 | Getting back from "Find" mode |
Hi again!
There is one question regarding the "Find" function of the elog. Clicking onto "Search" takes the user to the list view on only those entries that match the search conditions. Since we use the list view in "Full" mode by default, this usually is enough to give us an overview of the event we looked for.
Is there a more direct way to get back to the unfiltered list view than selecting an entry and go to "List" or using "Find" again and clicking on "Back"?
Greeting

| Carlos Mateo | cmateo@indra.es | Question | Windows | 2.6.0beta5 | Automatic creation of new entry in another logbook |
Hi
I am trying to create an entry in logbook2 when I submit a new entry in logbook1. The automatically created entry in logbook2 will have a reference to the entry that created it.
So far I have tried several ways:
1.- Using the "Execute new" I call elog to create the second entry. As the server is single-process, it locks: elog is waiting for elogd to be ready and elogd is waiting for elog to finish to accept new requests.
As my server is on a Windows machine I can´t execute elog on background.
2.- I tried to run 2 servers on different ports using the same elogd.cfd file, calling the second server from elog. This "almost" works: the logbook files are updated, but the original server must be restarted to "see" the changes.
3.- Using the "Menu text" option, I create a link to create the new entry. The problem is that attributes are not parsed: a link like this <a href="/logbook2/?cmd=New&pAttr=Value $ID">Test</a> won´t substitute $ID
Is there a way to do what I want?
TIA,
Carlos |

| Ulrich Trüssel | ulrich.truessel@familienhund.ch | Question | Windows | 2.6.0beta5 | Changing width in entry mode |
| I'd like to change the width of the display when entering a new record. But I didn't find the right way after trying some time:Problem: see pic "Eingabe.jpg", if thre are more MOptions to select in entry mode, I have to scroll from right to left all the time. Ti s isn't really comfortable.Is there any option to fix the widht of the entry screen to a fix width in pixels or to the screen width? "Ausgabe.jpg" as ex., so multiple moptions would be arranged on multiple lines like in the display mode for the record.I checked the flags as well as the CSS but didn't find a solution. But maybe anybody has the right idea?To have a flag or someting to switch between the two entry modes would be fantastic and give a lot more of flexiblity for adaption to different sizes of screens.Thank's a lot for any idea! |

| Yoshio Imai | | Question | Linux | 2.6.0beta5 | Passive elog mirrors |
| Hi!Is it possible to install a "passive" elog mirror? We want to allow members of another institute to browse our logbook, but the connection is rather slow. The idea is now to set up an elog mirror at their site for faster access. Still, we should be the only ones who can add and edit the entries, so the update mechanism needs to be restricted in one direction. Is this possible at all? I didn't find any clues on that in the documentation ...ThanksYoshio |
