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). |

Sorry my late reply, but now I have fixed this problem. The update is under SVN and will be contained in the next release. |

No, you have to copy entries manually with the "Copy to" menu command. For that, you have to put something like
Menu commands = List, New, Edit, Copy to, Delete, Reply, Duplicate, Find, Config, Help
into your configuration file. |

Hi Jason, how is going? Long time no hear!
What you need is following line in your config file:
URL = http://localhost:8080/
This is because elog does not know its "own" address, and therefore tries to figure this out over the network. Your laptop probably has the name "syslvester", and you run it inside columbia.edu, so it "thinks" it can reach itself via http://sylvester.columbioa.edu:8080. The URL statement above overrides this "guess".
Best regards,
Stefan |

No, but there is a trick you can use. Put following into your config file:
Attributes = Author, ...
Preset Author = $long_name
Locked Attributes = Author
Options Author = Admin{1}, other{2}
{1}Suppress default = 1
Replace "Admin" with the name of the administrator. The "Author" field gets automatically set to the author name, and it's locked, so there will no be drop-down box which lets you select between "Admin" and "other". Now if the author is equal to "Admin", the condition {1} becomes true, and the "Supress default is executed. This check the "suppress email notificatio" box at the bottom, so normally no email gets sent from the administrator. |

So what is your problem? Can't you access http://localhost:8080/demo/default.css ?
If so, you could use an
URL = http://{your host}:8080/
option in your config file, where you replace {your host} with your real host name. |

It was not implemented, however you call this

Have you tried another browser, like Firefox? Do you have the same problems with Firefox? Can you try the following:
Start elogd manually with the "-v" flag, like
elogd -c <your config path> -v -p 8080 and watch the output carefully. When you submit an entry, elogd does redirection. You will see that in the HTTP header you have an entry like
...
Location: https://...
... This location is taken from the URL statement of your config file. If it's wrong (like if you mixed http:// and https://), your browser will try to load the page from a non-existion location. |
