FYI
Elog works great we us it for our shift carryover and we have about 25 people useing it and I have heard no complants with it.

I added your vote to the "PAM" authentication on the wishlist, since PAM contains an LDAP module. |
Problem selecting ports, posted by Chris Warner on Fri Jan 13 03:21:32 2006

I had problems getting elog to run on port 8080 (or many others). I have it installed on Redhat Enterprise Linux rel 4. The only way I was able to get it working was using port 80. I would like to run it on a different port if possible but I'm not sure what is wrong.
Any Ideas |

Hi Stefan,
I couldn't solve this problem yet...
I have been tried a lot of configurations, but our Elog doens't work well in IE with https 
It works very well to read, list, find the messages, delete, and so on...
But all users have problems with edit and preview commands when they are using IE + https.
When we use Elog in IE without https, everything works fine. ?)
We are using :
httpd-2.0.54
Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow)
elog-2.6.0
The redirect directive in httpd.conf:
<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xx.xx>
ServerAdmin our.email.address
DocumentRoot /www/apache/htdocs
ServerName our.server.name
# Rules to new elog 2.6.0
Redirect / https://our.server.name:9898
ErrorLog logs/error_log
CustomLog logs/access_log common
</VirtualHost>
The proxy directives in ssl.conf:
(We used the http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/contributions/11 message like reference.
Thanks a lot for the contribution!!!  )
<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xx.xx:9898>
# Here be standard configuration for the Virtual Host
ServerName our.server.name:9898
ServerAdmin our.email.address
RequestHeader set Front-End-Https "On"
# 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/src/elog-2.6.0"
# 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.pem
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
# (8082 on our poop deck).
<Location />
ProxyPass http://our.server.name:8082/
ProxyPassReverse http://our.server.name:8082/
SSLRequireSSL
</Location>
ErrorLog /www/apache/logs/error_log
TransferLog /www/apache/logs/access_log
</VirtualHost>
And the URL is configured in elogd.cfg like your suggestion (Thanks ! )
URL = https://our.server.name:9898
The elgod.cfg is attached to this message to add more details about our configuration.
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Elaine

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). |

localhost definition problem, posted by Jason Koglin on Tue Jan 17 01:01:05 2006
|
I've been running elog on my laptop for about a year. I have had a problem several times now when I have had a bad crash of my computer that afterwards elog does not run correctly. The problem appears to be that "localhost" (e.g., http://localhost:8080/) gets changed to a domain name (http://sylvester.columbia.edu:8080/) which is not registered. I only want it to access this elog database locally on my machine and do not even want to set it up as a web server.
I freshly installed it and when I type in http://localhost:8080/ it sends me to http://localhost:8080/demo/ . If I click on the first and only entry it sends me to http://sylvester.columbia.edu:8080/demo/1 and an error occurs loading the page. However if I type in http://localhost:8080/demo/1 it brings up the first entry correctly, but with no formatting because presumably it is looking in the wrong place for the default theme.
How do I fix this since this time reinstalling and rebooting hasn't fixed the problem?
Thanks,
Jason. |

Email based on not attribute value, posted by Chris Warner on Tue Jan 17 14:09:17 2006
|
Is it possible to send an email if an attribute is not equal to a specific value?
For instance, I have a server logbook that several people are able to write to. There is one person that is ultimately responsible for this server. I would like to generate an email any time that someone other than the System Administrator creates a new entry.
Thanks,
Chris Warner |
