It is the default. If you install ELOG on your PC and run it, then every access will be directly to the ELOG web service. If you want to have Apache inbetween, it is some extra effort.

Hi Andreas,

I realize from your response that my question was not clear. I was not asking how to get it. Note that I am just a regular user, I am not the administrator of the service.

My question was about how to use it. From the man page, or from the explanation in the Administration Guide, it is not clear to me how to pass the same arguments I have been trying for /usr/bin/elog. For example, how to pass the list of attributes. I don't see a "-a" option for elogd. 

Thanks.

Now you've totally lost me.

elogd is a web service. You connect to it with a web browser. You don't pass arguments at startup of the service that refers to specific atrributes. I have no idea what you intend to do, you need to explain a lot more.

Hi Andreas. 

It seems I didn't fully understand the comment by Stefan when he said "Have you tried to connect directly to elogd and not going through Apache?". My bad.

The debian version of elog is pretty old with quite a number of bugs fixed in meantime. Unfortunatlely the debig packase has not bee updated by the maintainers. So better download the current version from bitbucket and compile elogd yourself.

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?

Hi All

I need to send mail through Elog. With Version 2.5.7 it seems to work only when less content is in the elog entry. But when I fill in a lot of content into one entry, it confirms the mail is sent but I dont receive the mail.

I thought it was a bug in 2.5.7, so I installed the new version 2.6-beta. With this version I am not even able to send any mail eventhough elog confirms it has been sent. Same is it case for 2.5.9.

Please let me know if there is a fix..

Thanks
Raj


This must have to do with your specific SMTP server. What you can do is to start elogd with the verbose flag like
elogd -v

then send an email entry and watch the communication between elogd and the SMTP server. There must be some kind of error message.

Any ideas how to fix this? I'm not sure if this is a problem with the elog / Ubuntu / Image Magick?


What happens if you execute the command manually, like

$ identify -format '%wx%h %c' '/home/elog/elog-2.9.2/logbooks/HardwareLog/140218_120423_2014-02-18_remod_(extended_II).png.png

The "identify" command just checks the size in pixels of your image and expects something like 800x600. Let me know if this command returns something completely different.

Sorry for very late reply. I recently rebuilt our server. Elog 2-9-2, new machine, new OS (Ubuntu 14.04), new version of ImageMagick (6.7.7-10), but I'm having the same unresolved problem. identify -format from the command line returns 645x860 (as it should). Any ideas?
