Hi !

I do have an setup were I would like to rename the menu command but keeping their fonction. Namely, I would like to rename the "copy to" button to "Duplicate" since thats the option I would like to put in place ( Copy to = Same logbook only).

I tried to do so with css but it is not possible since the button doesn't have a specific id... Would you have another solution ? 

Thanks for your help !

Hi, the elog command line client does not know anything about Apache authentication, therefore the authentication with the elog username/password fails. As an alternative to the command line client you can use the "curl" utility (available under Linux). This tools has the "-u" flag, which works with Apache. The tricky thing is now to "emulate" your browser submitting an entry. You can do

$ curl -u <username>:<password> -F cmd=Submit -F Author=CURL -F Text="This is the CURL text" http://<your host>:8080/<logbook>

(of course your attributes might be different than "Author"). If you have a multiline text body, you can read that from a file (in this case "file.txt"):

$ curl -u <username>:<password> -F cmd=Submit -F Author=CURL -F Text="@file.txt" http://<your host>:8080/<logbook>

When I wrote "elog" orginiallly (199x?), "curl" was not available or at least I didn't know of. Right now it almoste completely can replace the elog tool.

Ok, this explains why it doesn't work.

Thank you for the support anyway. ELOG is a great piece of software.

Ah sorry. I recall now: Under Windows, calling subprocesses from a service does not work at all. After a couple of days of work I was not able to get this running. If somebody has some idea, I'm happy to try it. So most people use the elogd daemon in the background only under Linux.

I don't undersand myself fully how services see the environment. Like if they see the PATH at all. In some occations it helped to run the service not under the SYSTEM account, but under the (admin) account of a real user.

Stefan

This I do not fully understand: To my understanding the PATH environment variable (includes the ImageMagick path) is a system variable and should be accessable from any account and should be valid under any conditions. Am I wrong? Additionally, I tried adding the system Path variable to the user specific variables for that user that runs the service (Path = %Path%) in the system settings. Finally, I tried copying the imdisplay.exe (ImageMagick executable) and convert.exe (used for the software detection) from the ImageMagick installation directory to the same directory as elogd. Neither of these approaches was successfull.

Hi,
  we are running an elogd (with SSL) server on a machine and using apache as a proxy.

The authentication to the apache server is managed via LDAP module directly by apache, while, so far, we have no authentication enabled in the elogd server itself.
So, when a used want to access the elog server, he is required to provide user/pwd by apache, and then he can access the elogs.

We would like to use the elog command line to transit entries automatically from a terminal from a different host.

the command line we are trying is:

echo "Test" | elog -v -h elog.belle2.org -a Author="stefano" -a Type="Other" -l elog -s demo -u username password  -p 443

where username password are registered into LDAP.

In response we have a 401 Unauthorized. The full return message is at the end of this message.

I suspect that the "username password" we pass to elog are supposed to be that of elogd, not that of apache/ldap: I don't know if this is the case.

Does anyone have an idea how to make this work?

Thanks in advance,
  Stefano

It's very simple, no need for the find command. E.g.: Start page = ?Author=luedeke&Category=Question&mode=summary

in this forum would do https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/?Author=luedeke&Category=Question&mode=summary
