 Hi there,

I have a connection problem with an actual elog installation. Many Browsers like as Chrome, Firefox and IE don't  connect to the elog server with ssl = 1 in elogd.cfg. 

I tested with Firefox 3.6 and IE 7 installations and there are no problems.

I guess it's a bug. Does someone have a suggestion to solve that problem?

Thx. Olaf

 

Hi!

This just started happening here also.  Some users can't get on to a SSL=1 config'd elog using either IE or firefox 10 (win7 or linux) or chrome.  SAFARI works.  Occurs in 2.8.0 and a newly built (even after

ssl yum updates) 2.9.0 version on SL5.5 system.  Seems to accept self signed cert then nothing.. (connection reset message).   Tried an stunnel from one port to port running elog

with SSL=0.  Same behavior.  Doesn't work on some browsers.  Any clues?

Thanks,

-John

Hi everyone,
it appears that many people have this problem. I believe this is simply a problem of your firewall settings. There are two simple checks you can do to test if I'm right or wrong:
  • Run your logbook on the standard port 443 and retry. If the special port has been opened on the firewall, it has been likely only opened for specific clients like firefox 3.6, IE 7, etc. If you use a different client (FF 10, IE 9) the port can be blocked.
  • Or just run the browser that does not work on the ELOG server. If it works to access ELOG via localhost, then you know for sure that it is the firewall.
I've actually tested it here at my institute: I've downloaded firefox 10 and could access ELOG on port 443 but couldn't access it on port 444, unless I've started FF10 on the ELOG host.
To John, Olaf and Christian: If you need to be able to use a special port and a certain set of browsers then just contact your computing division or whoever maintains your firewalls.
 
I hope this settles the matter.
Cheers
Andreas

 Hi,

Thanks for the reply. 

The elog server is running SL5.5 (updates applied).  As you suggested, I ran firefox 3.6.26 on the elog server via https://localhost:port and it worked fine.   Downloaded firefox 10.0.1 and retried

on elog server and get error again:  The connection was Reset; The connection to the server was reset while the page was loading.

 Hi,

One of our sys admins discovered that Firefox 10 appeared to send parts of the initial GET in two parts.  As if there was a flush() after the "G" and this caused elog problems.  By making the change in

the patch below, the read loop is re-entered again after the 2nd part of the GET comes in.   Firefox 10.0.1 then works with ELOG with SSL.   Stefan... perhaps you can take a look to see if there is a

better way to accomplish this? 

One side effect with it done this way is that if you start a connection (ie, telnet localhost port) and type a single character,  the elog will block further connections until the telnet is terminated.

Thank you,

-John Doroshenko

Yes, there is a new feature called record splitting which causes the browser to send the "G" of the "GET ..." in a dedicated TCP package. This started in FF10, Chrome 17, and it will come in others as well. It only affects direct SSL connections (SSL=1). I fixed the bug in SVN revision #2435. Please update also MXML to revision #73. Let's hope that surprises like that will not happen too often.

 Thank you Stefan!  I put up your new svn revision and we're back in business.  Seems to be working perfectly.

 

And thank you again for your efforts with regards to ELOG.  It is an incredibly handy tool.

  65922   Thu Jul 10 12:06:31 2008 Question Dougie Mooneydougie.mooney@selex-galileo.comQuestionWindows2.7.3-2104Synchronising between physically separate networks

Hi there. Just started recently set up the application and think its very usable and easily configured - great stuff

I'm looking to roll it out to the masses but have a slight logistical problem in that we work on 2 separate networks - NET1 with connection to the internet, and NET2 physically isolated from NET1 and the internet.

It would be desirable to allow users to add/update/delete logs from both NET1 and NET2 with periodic synchronisation.

I believe the mirroring facility is what should be used, and think the following setup and synchronisation steps may be workable:

Setup:

  • elog installed on node of NET1
  • elog installed on 2 nodes of NET2
  • elog server running on NET1 and node1 of NET2 both using a common elogd.cfg

Performing Synchronisation:

  1. Stop the server on NET1
  2. copy logbook directories from NET1 to node2 of NET2
  3. start server on node2 of NET2 using the -M option
  4. once above complete, copy logbook directories from node 2 NET2 to NET1
  5. Start the server on NET1

Am I on the right track?

Would very much appreciate your comments and advice on the above.

Cheers Dougie

Using the "Link Display  =" I can turn of the link to each individual entry, however, I would like to have a custom link in one of my columns. Is this possible?

 

Thanks for this wonderful tool.

We have been successfully using the TCK-##### for several months and suddenly today it has stopped incrementing. We were at ticket # 40 and this morning any new tickets come up as 12 and never increment? We have tried restarting the elog service. Any suggestions would be appreciated.

 

Thank You
