Ive just installed the RPM of Elog 2.3.2 and ive found a bug relating to 
port bindings, basically im running elog bound to port 81 and when i 
install the new RPM it refuses to bind to this port, i tried port 8080 and 
that worked fine

Any ideas ?

Im not running anything on port 443, one thing I did notice is that when 
stunnel is run and setup, I can run a netstat and nothing is bound to those 
ports, if I do a ps -ef | grep stunnel nothing is running, yet it accepts the 
command initially ?


CONFUSED ????

I have those attributes already working for example

[global]
Page title = Customer Relational Management System < this sets the selection 
page ok

[Config DB]
Page Title = ABC123 - $Customer Name < this sets the individual log book 
entries title

I need something to set the title of the page when on the summary page for 
the logbook, as it just says ELOG - Config DB (this isnt set anywhere)

Hello,

I do have a backup of elog repository in an external disk (with a directory name .elog). I want to install this repository to a new linux (either ubuntu 20.xx or Cent OS 7) computer. I am new to this, can someone please provide me an instructions sheet. 

Thank you

Thank you so much. It worked this way. 

I'm trying capture any edit/modified entry with the following, Using the
real date format instead of text string so that I could do a quick filter on it.

Type modified = date
Subst on Edit modified = $date

Problem: It seem that the Subst on Edit always default to 1 Jan 1970 instead
of current date on edit screen. 

Could it be $date is a string and not compatible with tape date? or is there
a variable or function to convert $date to date format?
 
Thanks,
nait

Any binary build anywhere that I can pick? Thanks.
