| Andreas Luedeke | andreas.luedeke@psi.ch | Question | Mac OSX | elog-3.1.0 | Re: New entry cannot be written to directory "/usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo/" |
The process elogd runs as the user "nobody". This user obviously cannot write to /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo.
But apparently you've created the wrong directory anyway: you've listed /usr/local/elog/demo, but ELOG looks for /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo.

Thanks for your reply.
I am the user and it also has the write access
cd /usr/local/elog/
ls -ltr
drwxrwxrwx 6 tapasi admin 204 Jan 7 18:26 demo

You should check if the directory /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo belongs to the right user and has the right write permissions.
Since the elogd process belongs to the user "nobody", the directory should best belong to "nobody" as well (or - not recommended - allows write access for "others")

Attached is the screenshot of the error message and also there is "nobody" while I grep elog.

Sorry, it was my mistake while copying from terminal to the email . There is no "demo" directory under /usr/local/lib.
Tapasis-MacBook-Pro:elog tapasi$ cd /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo
Tapasis-MacBook-Pro:demo tapasi$ ls -ltr
total 0
drwxr-xr-x 3 tapasi admin 102 Sep 22 11:00 2001
drwxr-xr-x 55 503 admin 1870 Dec 17 13:21 2015
drwxr-xr-x 2 tapasi admin 68 Jan 7 14:54 2016
So, how can I change the user from "nobody" to my name, so that elogd runs in my user name ?
Thanks

Use
usr = <user anme>
in elogd.cfg as written in the documentation.

| John Haggerty | haggerty@bnl.gov | Bug report | Mac OSX | | pdf thumbnails in latest Imagemagick |
I think with the latest Imagemagick from brew (6.9.4-7) that pdf thumnails no longer get made; the attachment is there but the message "Cannot create thumbnail, please check ImageMagick installation" apears instead of the thumbnails. I couldn't make out from elogd -v 3 why they failed, but I couldn't make out the exact convert command that was failing. This is on MacOS 10.11.5 and I think the updated version ofImagemagick was the last thing that changed before it failed. |

Hi John,
I use ImageMagick 6.9.3-10 on my Mac OSX 10.11.5 and it works fine. So apparently the parameters of the ImageMagick program have been changed. If you set the logging level to 2 or higher, you should see the "convert" and "identify" commands in the logging file. If you try these commands manually from the command line, you will see if they succeed or give an error. Please post this error here so I can have a look.
Cheers,
Stefan

Since I posted that, there have been multiple versions of Imagemagick released through brew for the Mac in the last few weeks, and I'm now using 6.9.4-9, which seems to work fine with thumbnails again, indeed, I noticed that as soon as 6.9.4-8 was released, I was back to normal, but thanks for the debugging pointer. |

src/elog.c:57:10: fatal error: 'openssl/ssl.h' file not found
#include <openssl/ssl.h>
^
1 error generated.
make: *** [elog] Error 1
Help appreciated!
Thanks,
Christina |
