Hello Stefan, thanks for your answer. So I made a new logbook, without entries. I generated, as you, two new entries and I discover that this problem come out when in the URL the command for the sorting follow the command of the display mode. So for example the following URL give me the issue:

http://local.host.com:8080/65+nm/?mode=summary&sort=Record+date

But if I put:

http://local.host.com:8080/65+nm/?sort=Record+date&mode=summary

This last URL is working. This means that the issue come out, when I change the dispay mode by the buttons "Full, Summary, Threaded" and then I click on the Coloumn "Record date" for sorting it. Hope you understand and you can reproduce it. Many thanks

EDIT: I'm facing the same problem on another MAC with a fresh installation of elogd.

I tried your config file on my Mac and it just worked fine without any crash:

Could it be that on entry has corrupt data and is killing your server? Have you tried on a pristine new logbook?

Hello,

I'm facing with a crash, which happen when I sort the entries by a datetime attribute (sort or rsort) and then i change the display mode from Full, Summary and Threaded.

For example, the elogd crashes when I try to connect from the Full display to Summary in sort mode. The issue presents for example by entering with the following URL:

http://host.name.com:8080/65+nm/?mode=summary&sort=Record+date

Can you please help me?

Here I reduced my elogd.cfg at minimum and I still get this issue:

[global]
port = 8080

[65 nm]
Attributes = Record date

Type Record date = datetime
Preset Record date = $date
List Display = Record date
Start page = ?sort=Record date

export C_INCLUDE_PATH=/opt/local/include

should do the trick. Put this into your .profile

Hi Stefano.

This may or may not have anything to do with your specific problem but I notice you have the single word "date" as part of your attribute name and Date is actually a reserved word in Elog. Although your attribute is not exclusively called "date" I have found that even using "date" as an isolated word within an attribute name (eg: Record date vs Record_date) can cause some issues. In my case, it caused a problem with the elog client when trying to update records which was only resolved when I changed the name of the attribute to Date/Time Received from Date and Time Received. Long story short, I avoid using any reserved words as part of attribute names.

Alan.

Hello Alan,

I tried with a new logbook with an attribute without "date" name, but unfortunately I got the same error. Any other suggestions?

Thanks

Still no luck. Tried your URL and still works fine for me:

Here is my full elogd.cfg:

[global]
port = 8080

[65 nm]
Attributes = Record date
Type Record date = datetime
Preset Record date = $date
List Display = Record date
Start page = ?sort=Record date

Anything else I coudl try to reproduce your error?

Ok I found it!

Was tricky. In my development environment (XCode) it worked fine. Only when I compiled elogd under Sierra on the command line, the probelm occured. That's why I did not see it earlier. It has to do with some functions Apple apparently changed ("strlcpy"). These function now have a new "functionality": When two parameters overlap, the function just aborts the process. This is specific to Sierre, so on any other Linux this does not happen. I changed now the soruce code to take care of the modified functions, and now it works fine. Please update to the newest GIT revision of elogd and recompile.
