Thanks! I put that into revision #2207. |

Re: elogd crashes with a URL, posted by Stefan Ritt on Tue Aug 4 13:18:26 2015

I could not reproduce your problem. I can only fix it if I can reproduce it, so let's agree on a common test base. May I ask you to do the following:
- Download the most recent elog version from bitbucket and compile it
- Create two new logbooks "demo1" and "demo2" with minimal configuration, but using yor global password file which differs from the group ones
- Send me step-by-step instructions how to trigger the problem, including your elogd.cfg file and your password files (of course with fake accounts)
If I can reproduce the crash, I can fix it.

URL causes elogd to crash when a global password file name doesn't match any group's password file name.
The offending URL is copied from the address field of the browser after sorting a logbook by on of the fileds.
After login out and using the copied URL, elogd shows the authentication dialog and then crashes after the credentials are submited.
Some debugging point me to a NULL pointer on the following instruction in line 25502 of elogd.c :
if (lbs->pwd_xml_tree) {
The work around was to name the global password file as the password file of one of the groups.

I've tried to test a simpler configuration on my local PC but failed:
all simple set-ups I've tried worked fine.
I found that the mirror cron synchronization works fine in my production set-up when I remove the line:
Mirror user = luedeke
But I can have this line in my simple test set-up and it still works fine.
Anyway: bugs closed for me. |

This problems have been fixed in SVN revision 2135. |

It's hard to tell the problem from what you report. Have you tried the latest
release http://midas.psi.ch/elog/download/windows/elog258-6.exe ? There were
some problems with the password file in 2.5.8 versions prior to patch level 6. |

Yes, I am up to date with the latest version (2.5.8-6).
What other information can I provide that might assist in diagnosing this? |

Please send me your elogd.cfg configuration file. |

Stefan - I am having the exact same problem as outlined here. I sent you an
email with a somewhat complicated config file. Attached to this message is a
much simpler one.
With this file, if you remove the B5 server (remove it from top group a2, and
remove the [b5] entry) the crash does not happen. If the B5 server (or any
additional server) is in the file, then the problem occurs.
For me, there are 3 places where the crash happens:
- on logout
- when an invalid username/password is used to login
- when you login to A1, then try to go to A2
This is happening on elog v2.5.9-1 (built May 2, 2005, 12:17:18 revision 1.642)
I have tried on windows 2000 and 2003 servers, and it seems to happen on both of
them.
