  68308   Wed Apr 27 21:27:36 2016 Question Devin Bougiedevin.bougie@cornell.eduQuestionLinux3.1.1inactive users
Hello,

Is it possible to remove the "active" checkbox a user sees when they click on "config"?  Alternatively, is it possible to have a new user arrive directly at the logbook they chose, rather than starting out at the config screen?

We are running elog-3.1.1 on SL6 with webserver authentication.  For the most part this works great, but somehow a few users become inactive after they login for the first time.  They claim they didn't un-check "active," but I can't think of any other way this would happen.

Many thanks,
Devin

I seem to be having some trouble with Find when using conditional attributes.

when I change the primary attribute in the find field, the corrispnding secondary attribute dosn't refresh properly with the list of values.

I am able to use the conditional options as expected when creating a new logbook.

 

I am using version ELOG V3.1.1-0767eb0 running on debian wheezey (compiled from sid sources)

Hello,

Has anyone implemented an email gateway for ELOG, allowing users to submit entries by sending an email?  Granted this should be possible using the elog client binary, but I thought I'd see if I've overlooked any examples or docs first.

Thanks!

We have accumulated some duplicate 'types' in one of our logbooks.  Is it possible to merge them?

Thanks,

Is it possible to submit entries using the elog client binary when the server is configured with webserver authentication (when the server requires the X-Forwarded-User header)?  One option would be if the server could support both webserver and kerberos (or even file) authentication, but neither 
"Authentication = Webserver, Kerberos" nor "Authentication = Webserver, File" seem to work.

In addition to using the elog binary to talk to the elog server directly, we've unsuccessfully tried using curl to post data to the apache server url (URL in elogd.cfg).  We can read entries using curl, but haven't yet been able to submit entries.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Devin

We have always had issues with eLOG crashing intermittently...  I upgraded from Server 2003 to Server 2008 about a year ago to try to reduce the issues...  which really didn't help.

The service now seems to crash every week...  (getting worse)...  Is anyone seeing these issues in Windows servers?  Any suggestions??

Dear all

I installed elog from the current stable repository on Debian 8 (jessie)

The installation went on smoothly, I modified the configuration files of the Apache server as described in the manual to use the elog in parallel with an existing webserver and then I tested. The demo logbook loads fine and I see that elog created a folder for the logbook in /var/lib/elog/logbooks, which is the directory specified by default in the /etc/init.d/elog file.

Then I modified the /etc/elog.conf file, added the following lines in the global section (custompath is a local path) 

Resource dir = /<custompath>/elog/res
Logbook dir = /<custompath>/elog/logbooks

And I created a new logbook.

After restarting the elog service the second database is correctly created but both of them are still stored in  /var/lib/elog/logbooks so it seems the global configurations in the config file are overwritten.

How can I specify the custom folder so that the new logbooks are written there?
