The attached screenshot shows the behaviour after doing a synchronization (with Mirror simulate = 1) following first having ensured that the local (Mac)
and remote (linux) ELOGs initially showed "All entries identical" when doing a simulated synchronization, and then having edited local entries
9707 and 9709 by uploading (different) attachments to them.

When I switch from SSL = 1 to SSL = 0 and I use http:// instead of https://, the ability to upload attachments to logbook entries returns.  With
both Chrome and Safari browsers, with SSL = 1 the file upload hangs after only a small percentage of the file has been uploaded.  I ran the following
openssl diagnostic on my elogd port.  Would anyone have advice on what might be causing such errors?

For the time being, I am deeming ELOG 3.1.2 unusable with https (SSL = 1) functionality on my "Debian GNU/Linux 7 (wheezy)" server
with "OpenSSL 1.0.1t", due to the described apparent issues with SSL.  Reverting to http (SSL = 0) brings back my ability to upload attachments
and synchronize with a remote elogd running on a MacOS laptop.

Further to my comment in https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Forum/68549, if the described synchronization requires attachment(s) to be transferred from
my Mac laptop to the Debian linux server (with SSL = 0 set), it fails in all the tests that I tried.

To check whether these problems are linked to the OpenSSL version on the linux server, we also tried building an elogd executable using 1.0.2j

I have no experience with ELOG on OSX, therefore I can only give very vague and indirect support (sorry).

I suggest that you first try
an installation without actual logbook data (just move it to a save place for a while). Does a "find" still crash elogd?

If elogd
is still crashing, you should prune your configuration until it stops crashing. Submit the smallest config here that still crashes the logbook.
