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.


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).

Maybe I'm doing something wrong, but the following does not work on a Elog with multiple pages:

1. View message
2. Click List
3. Click Next or page number
4. Only the last page is shown

It looks like the URL pageN?cmd=List does not work, while pageN works.

Any hints?

Same behaviour can be seen also with Discussion forum on Elog site.


I don't understand. I tried on the Discussion forum:

1. View message, for example http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/1506

2. Click List, which takes me to http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/

3. Click Next, which takes me to http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/page2

Then I really see page2, not the last page. So what do you do differently?

Yoshio Imai wrote:
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"?


I can easily add another button for that, will put it on the wish list.

And this does not work...

You use an old version of elog. Please upgrade to the 2.6.0-beta5 which you can obtain from

http://savannah.psi.ch/viewcvs/trunk/src/elogd.c?root=elog&rev=1541

Yes, new version seems to fix this bug, but...

Now there's a new feature: sometimes it breaks the text message line into 2 when
displaying the summary page.
Maybe it happens only with Russian text Smile

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.
Please tell me for what purpose you need two identical logbooks. Maybe what you want can be achieved in a simpler way.

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 canīt execute elog on background.
Have you tried to start your elog with the start command under Widnows, like start elog .... This is the equivalent of starting a process in the background under linux.

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.
This is because you use the same data directory for both servers. If one server writes a new entry to a file, the other server does not realize this. Only when you restart it, it rescans the whole data directory and gets aware of the new entry. Try using separate data directories for the two servers.
Carlos Mateo wrote:
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> wonīt substitute $ID
Parsing attributes is not implemented and therefore will not work.
