Sorry that I was mis-interpreting your question
Unfortunately I don't know what's wrong with your set-up. I can confirm that I cannot access your logbook with "konquerer", but can access it with "firefox". The "konquerer" (on Scientific Linux 5.7) just gets timed out.
But I can access other SSL/https ELOGs with the konquerer. The problem only occurs with your logbook!
Therefore I would think it is a particular problem of your installation. I have three ideas how to isolate the problem:
  • first, I would try to change to the standard port 443. Just in case it is related to some firewall, etc. problem.
  • second, I would try another operating system than Ubuntu Lucid. It should work of course with Ubuntu, but if it still doesn't work with the other operating system then many things are already ruled out.
  • third, I would try to set-up an apache webserver in front of ELOG. We have it here just for safety reasons. ELOG runs then on some special port and apache connects to it with a reverse proxy.
The latter is a little bit of work (about a day) if you never set-up apache before. Therefore I would try the other two, first.
Good luck!

thanks for the fast resonse.
1) port 433 done. No change
2) compiled elog 2.9.0 on Squeeze and only reused the config file. No change: https://daduke.org:8443/
3) we can do that (and we will) no problem, but I'd like to get it working w/o apache nonetheless
speaking of reverse proxy: we'd like to hook elog to our LDAP server. As there's no LDAP binding built in, is there any way to use apache LDAP auth and then bind to that one?[...]

Okay, I did run out of ideas. I've never tested Chrome, but IE 8 and konquerer works fine here with SSL for our logbooks, but not for your logbook. [...]

And just for the record: I have to conclude a clean install of elog 2.9.0 SSL does not work for half of the browsers out there on Debian Squeeze or Ubuntu Lucid right now. You might want to look into that.

Excuse me, but I beg to differ. I'm running ELOG V2.9.0-2425 on my production server, therefore I thought that you're maybe right that the latest SVN snapshot has a problem.

I've downloaded it just now from SVN (it is V2.9.0- 2427), compiled it on SL 5.7, installed it and I can easily access it with IE8, Safari, konquerer and firefox.

 
Detect language » English
 

 well maybe SL 5.7 is the explanation - it's old as the hills. Maybe newer versions of libssl or whatever make a difference? I might also try on a recent Fedora, let's see..

 

 update: clean install on F16, plain vanilla, same problem: TCP connection broken

See https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/67184 to fix that problem. It is likely not a problem of ELOG, but of your firewall settings.

 Hi,

I have the same problem. with SSL = 1 in elog.cfg I am not able to connect using firefox 10 or chrome. However, using Internet explorer 6.0 it works fine.

Everything it has been checked in a local machine with windows 7 with and without firewall. 

Use port 443, works fine with all browser.

Thank you so much!

Diego

in Unix:
i fixed the problem by defining a password file entry like 'user1::::'. 
then i defined 'admin user = user1' in elogd.cfg.
then i connected with login name 'user1' and created new user (as admin).

in Windows2000:
if i do this steps and i save the new user, it fails. the server service 
crash down.

Dear Friend!,

Only mistake in your file .cfg is   spell mistake "Passwort" in "Passwort 
file = c:\elog\passwd.txt" line. It should "Password file" t=d. 

try some thing like below,

[Log]
Theme = default
Comment = Financial Accounting Bug posting 
Attributes = Resource, Project Name, Task Desc, SDT, EEDT, ACDT, Percent WC, 
Status 
Options Type = Masters, Transactions, Reports
Options Category = Bug, New Feature, Client Requirement, Change
Required Attributes = Author, Type, Bug
Page Title = ELOG - $subject
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Type
Password file =D:\Program Files\ELOG\logpwd.txt
;Self register = 0
Self register = 1

Admin user =sridhar
Menu commands = Back, Login, New, Edit, config, Delete, Reply, Find, Help, 
Logout
Guest user commands = config, admin, Login, logout

This problem must be specific to NS 4.76, I don't have it on IE, NS 6, Mozilla
1, Opera etc. Maybe you should upgrade. Anybody else made this observation?

There seems to be a bug with the List Display attribute in that it drops the last attribute of the list. So in my example if I want to display the Subject in my list I have to add a dummy attribute after it otherwise the Subject will not be displayed. The comma after Subject is not enough, but all you have to do is to add 1 letter and then you will see the subject in List view. If you don't all I see is the Date and Author fields and then the Text field in my Summary view in the log book.

List Display = Date,Author,Subject,t

I am running elog 2.5.9+r1674-1 on Debian sarge.


I tried with the current 2.6.0-beta3 and it worked fine. Can you send me your full elogd.cfg in order to reproduce the problem?

it is discussed in elog:1170
