I tried again, using the configuration file from the distribution (elog:1627/1). Hitting "config", I see the picture
attached (elog:1627/2). So it's a mystery why it is different in your case...

Indeed... I peeked into the code, and I got the feeling it could be a matter of incorrect user setup (though I have no
users/authorizations defined at all) or maybe browser cookies. A thin trail, but I'll try some debug directly on the
code and, should I come up with something, I'll surely notice you.
Thanks for your support!

That rings a bell. If you change user permissions (like password file/no password file/rename logbooks) you might be
fooled by old cookies. Just delete all cookies in your browser and try again.

Yes, I missed tables myself already. The headings I just put into the current SVN version (see this forum for how it works).


Very nice, thanks! I'm a bit torn as to whether I like the way I have to enter the level by keyboard or whether I'd rather see something like with the smileys (i.e. some "level menu" opens once "H" is pressed). The former is faster, while the latter doesn't require moving between the mouse and the keyboard. But that's just a detail - not really that important.

Maybe somehting like

heading 1 heading 2 heading 3
data 1 data 2 data 3


this looks a bit like the "pipe" mode from a Wiki

what do you think?

Yup, I remember using that kind of "pipe" structure in Wikis and I actually liked it. I think it's a lot easier to read in the "source" as well - and it reminds me remotely of LaTeX... Wink Also, it doesn't require much to just type it out instead of using buttons to make the cells. Definitely good enough for the simple type of tables I had in mind!

Hi,

Sorry if this has been asked elsewhere and I'm missing it. I want to stop users from accessing my elog by loading the URL: http://mycomputerURL:8080 and only make it accessible through http://mycomputerURL/elog. The end goal would be to use Apache to control access. I followed the instructions under "Running elogd under Apache" in the admin guide, but what that did was simply to redirect browsers trying to load ttp://mycomputerURL/elog to http://mycomputerURL:8080.

Thanks,
Dimitris

If you want to have user-level access control, you need to do that with the config option
Password file = ...

Then, if you have the
URL = http://mycomputerURL/elog

statement in your config file, you get redirected from elogd after each login automatically to that URL. If you physically want to block the 8080 port, you have to do that on the operating system level, like with iptables or ipchains.
  1644   Thu Feb 2 03:19:44 2006 Question Angus Auangus_au@promina.com.auQuestionOther2.6.1compiling elog 2.6.1 on solaris platform
I came across problem in compiling elog 2.6.1 on solaris platform.

The messages "

# make
gcc -o elog src/elog.c -lutil -lsocket -lnsl
ld: fatal: library -lutil: not found
ld: fatal: File processing errors. No output written to elog
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
*** Error code 1
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `elog'

It seems to me that library libutil does not exist on solaris platform.

Is there any fix ? I can compile elog 2.6.0 successfully on solaris.
