ELOG reverts to demo configuration, posted by VUIIS SysAdmin on Thu Feb 20 16:54:32 2020

I have been using elog for over 10 years. Suddenly my elog installation has changed (probably from a recent update. My /etc/elogd.cfg has changed to
the original demo configuration. Even after changing it to my configuration from backup none of the entries for the logbooks apper even though the tabs
for the logboos are ther all logbooks are empty. I have looced at the logbook files and the entries seem to be there but are not showing on the web interface. |

If you've upgraded from an elog 2.x version to an 3.x version, then all entries of a logbook will be moved into subfolder, one for each year.
If you then switch back to the 2.x version of elog, it'll not find any entries.
You can move them back to the folder for the logbook (one directory up) and they'll be found again after the next restart of elog. |

Do you see the same problem on this server here?
If not, then it must be related to your specific configuration. You have to teach me how to reporduce the error in order to fix it. Best would
be a minimal elogd.cfg which causes the error. |

Hi Stefan,
The problem seems to be specific with our logbooks. Maybe one of the file is corrupted or bad string encoding ?! But how to find the source of
the problem ? |
|
Re: Elogd crashes on search, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Jan 31 15:46:09 2020
|
The only way for me is to reproduce it. Could be corrupted data file, or config file. Try with a new logbook with the same configuration, then add logbook
files one by one until it happens.

Hi Stefan.
I installed debuginfo and ran elogd with gdb attached.

Hi Stefan,
My previous dump is useless as your elog-debuginfo rpm is stripped.
So i rebuild elog w/ -g , reinstall it and activate core generation. I restst a search of "test" and get this in gdb corefile . |

At #5, there is message_id=426 . You think it's this elog entries # 426 that is the source of crash ?

Looks like. Can you dig into the database file and have a look at that entry? Or send me the file containing that entry (together with your elogd.cfg)

Stefan,
I cut the log in two parts w/o modifying the content and the search runs. It seems that the size of this entrie 426 is closed to a limit (as
during testing, i met a message after clicking save to recompile elog to increase a size of something), so it could be the problem. |

Thanks for the detailed investiations and report. Finally I could reproduce the problem by having messages with a text body size close to 250000 bytes
(some internal limit). Never thought that someone really has the patience to write 250'000 chars in a single message, but I guess you did some copy/paste
from a large file. Thought in such cases people use attachments. Nevertheless, I fixed an internal memory allocation problem, now it shoudl be fine to |

Find cannot find values with brackets, posted by Sebastian Schenk on Fri Jun 14 11:29:30 2019

For demonstration, I created https://elog.psi.ch/elogs/Linux+Demo/8
The Find search for category aaa(bb) does not give results.
A quick filter corrects the value to aaa\(bb) and delivers results. |

Running ELOG as daemon in Windows not working, posted by Duarte Alexandre Vicente Pais on Fri Jan 31 18:22:50 2020

Hi, I tried to set up an ELOG from a windows machine. Its functionalities work without any problem, but I cannot access at all this ELOG from any other
machine. I tried to search in this forum, but with no avail.
Could someone perhaps tell me know how to fix this problem? Or did I miss something obvious in the configuration of the ELOG? |

Re: Running ELOG as daemon in Windows not working, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Jan 31 18:50:09 2020

Probably a problem with your Windows Firewall. You have to convice your OS to let you in.

Do you know which settings in the firewall panel I should change (windows 10 machine)? I went over all the access rules and could not find anything corresponding
to the ELOG.

I'm not a Windows user so I don't know details. But I believe you have to make an exception in the firwall for the elogd.exe executable. You
can certainly Google how to do that for any executable.

PAM authentication question, posted by David Wallis on Tue Nov 5 21:42:50 2019
|
I'm testing the PAM authentication feature, and have a couple questions, a suggestion, and a comment.
First the comment... it was pretty easy to get working, and is exactly what we need here, so thanks! Our PAM stack here is designed to allow
logins with Active Directory, LDAP, or local accounts, so the PAM option preserves all of that. |

Hi Christoph,
Thanks for looking into this, if you can enable PAM + File, our users would be very happy!
The pam.d issue is probably related to CentOS/Red Hat, since our PAM expert warned me that it might be necessary. |

does the ELOG server show the window immediately before even showing the login mask?

Before le pam module link, yes.
After adding it, I wait some seconds before new login window popups with password error message. |

FYI i added ACL on /etc/shadow file to allow elog user for reading. Testing from elog login shell is OK.
Any suggestion ?

local usage on windows + Linux virtual machine , posted by Sara Vanini on Fri Jan 24 14:56:56 2020

Hello again,
I love to use elog, but I don't need any other accessing it for the moment. So, it is possible to run elog locally on my PC, and make it
not accessible from outside? |
|
Re: local usage on windows + Linux virtual machine , posted by John on Fri Jan 24 21:04:51 2020

Elog does not access the outside world by default. With the VM I suppose just access it via the Linux local ip address (and
port).

Thanks John. I found the linux IP address with ifconfig, type it on my windows machine with the port number, but it doesn't work, the error is "website
not found"... what else could I try?

This typically happens if you update only the executabe and not the full directory tree with the ELOG JavaScript files.
