Having "Top group" in a config-file for Windows will cause:

Internal error, no valid header!
Removing "top group" makes elogd.exe work. The error is repeatable and the same config file works on the same version of Elog on Linux. Elog was compiled with Cygwin.

Windows binaries took care of this problem as with Message ID: 66157.
Problem solved, thanks!

I dropped back to SVN1699 and same problem, then moved the file to the elog root directory and it works fine. Seems that the current version isn't finding the file, regardless of where I put it (root or in 'resources' directory). Perhaps another directory? |

Stefan, I found the source of the problem. When you moved some files to "logbook_dir" you also told the code to look in "logbook_dir" for top and bottom text files:
void show_bottom_text(LOGBOOK * lbs)
{
char str[NAME_LENGTH], slist[20][NAME_LENGTH], svalue[20][NAME_LENGTH];
int i, size;
if (getcfg(lbs->name, "bottom text", str, sizeof(str))) {
FILE *f;
char file_name[256], *buf;
if (str[0]) {
/* check if file starts with an absolute directory */
if (str[0] == DIR_SEPARATOR || str[1] == ':')
strcpy(file_name, str);
else {
strlcpy(file_name, logbook_dir, sizeof(file_name));
strlcat(file_name, str, sizeof(file_name));
}
The documentation indicates that the location dir should be "resource_dir". |

Yepp. I changed the documentation. Note that you can also specify an absolute path, like
/usr/local/elog/top.html
If the file name starts with a "/" (under Unix), the full path is taken instead of looking in the logbook directory. |

Thanks, applied.

This problem goes away if "Protect Selection Page" is turned off. |
I hope I have fixed this problem, at least it works ok here when I tried with your config file.
One note I would like to make however: "Top groups" were invented for having completely separate logbook groups. Before the invention of top groups, one had to run several instances of elogd for different departments for example, where one department should not see the other department's logbooks. But having many departments means having to maintain many elogd daemons. This led to the invention of top groups, so one daemon can serve several independent groups, each having their own [global] section, with probably their own administrator.
In your case however, it would be more applicable not to use top groups, but use nested groups. Like
Group MiniBooNE = Analysis, Miscellaneous
Group Analysis = Charged Current Pi Plus, Neutral Current Coherent Pions
Group Miscellaneous = demo
I presume this is more what you want, and you can avoid some problems which arise from top groups.

I have not tested this one, but it could well be that the modification I made also fixes this. |

The quick attempt I just made to use this doesn't do what I want, which is to require password protection for the Analysis logbook selection page. If you think that *is* possible and I just didn't configure it properly, I'd appreciate pointers. In the meantime though, your bug fixes appear to have solved my top group / password problem and I think I'll proceed with that for now.
Thanks again,
Chris. |

This indeed is not possible and you have to use top groups for that. |

| Steve Jones | steve.jones@freescale.com | Request | All | 2.6.1 | Re: Top Groups and logbook directorys |
| Steve Jones wrote: | I am re-working our elog setup and am seriously looking at using the "Top Group" feature. What I like best is the ability to create [global] configurations for a group (or type) of logbook when I host multiple types on the same server. I also like being able to specify a different password file, etc.
A limitation that I run into is I would really like the actual directory names used for storing the logbooks for the different types to be identical - which isn't possible when all logbooks (regardless of context) exist at the same directory level. For example, I might have:
3 physical locations: ABC, DEF, GHI
For each location I want to maintain two *groups* of logbooks - CircuitTests and BoardTests. What I would like to end up with is:
- CircuitTests
----ABC
----DEF
----GHI
- BoardTests
----ABC
----DEF
----GHI
Under current elog this is not possble as far as I know. Since each logbook is a physical directory, each logbook requires a unique name. The concept of a named [global] area fills the bill for all things but it would be nifty if one could do:
[global circuittests]
Logbook dir = circuittestlogbooks
[global boardtests]
Logbook dir = boardtestlogbooks
I suppose the poorman's way of doing this is for each logbook to do the following:
[ABC]
Subdir = boardtestlogbooks/ABC
[DEF]
Subdir = boardtestlogbooks/DEF
[GHI]
Subdir = boardtestlogbooks/GHI
or something like that, but I was hopic for something a little more integrated - like creating the hierarchical stuff via the GUI. Anyway, this probably sounds like a major overhaul, which definitely wouldn't be worth it unless I have completely missed something glaringly obvious.
Thanks! |
