  67207   Thu Feb 23 16:23:10 2012 Question Nicolas FRANCOISnicolas.francois@free.frQuestionLinux2.5.2-1New user: problem with configuration (password file)

Hi.

 

I'd like to use elog as a tool ta keep my notes, links, passwords... It's installed on my personal computer at home (Debian Squeeze), behind a Ip-Cop firewall, so I guess it won't be accessible from anywhere outside. But I'd like to protect the log with a password anyway. BTW, I had some hard time figuring out how to configure the different files for french (there was a problem with UTF8 mixing up with Latin1... I recoded the language file to UTF8 to solve it).

 

I followed the procedure described here, but I have a problem with second stage :

  • I set Password file = elog.pwd in the elog.conf file (it's not elog.cfg on Debian...)
  • I restart the daemon
  • I try to login to http://localhost:8080/, and receive the message : "error opening the file elog.pwd"

I get this message even after :

  1. adding my user account to the elog group
  2. launching Epiphany as root

So I guess I have to create (how ???) the file elog.pwd, which, if I understand correctly, can be empty at the start... But where do I save it ?

 

Thank you for any help, and sorry if I'm a little confused. I had hard time figuring out where to find everything.

 

\bye

Adam wrote:

Hi All,

Perhaps a trivial question but some issues have arisen accessing my long-running elog with SSL enabled.  I suspect firewalls and browser updates are involved and I do not have the time or experience to diagnose and debug such a potential black-hole of difficulties.  Instead I am looking for a quick fix, and the first step - switching off sll - seems to work.  Now I would like to use redirect so that the elog is running under apache, however this is where I have stumbled; I have passwords so the plan is to eventually secure using apache.  Apache works fine and is running pages on ports 80 and 443, although I seem unable to redirect the elog (port 8080).  Following the instructions on the administrators guide I get:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /elog/ on this server.

The page is found at least so my redirect is doing something, and I suspect the solution is trivial, though I'm not too sure where to start.

 

-------------------

 

Also, what is  the best practice for updating one's elog version.  I originally installed using a tarball.

 

 

 

 Still struggling with this issue, if anyone has managed to solve it let me know.   I've done the obvious and checked ownership/ permissions of the elog folders and they are exactly the same as etc/var/www, which is working in apache.

  67204   Mon Feb 20 20:33:32 2012 Question Arno TeunisseA.Teeling3@chello.nlQuestionWindows2.9.0Hyperlink in attributes and autoincrement

Hello

Want a hyperlink in one of the attributes like this : http://Someserver/someDir/perl.pl#subject

In this way I should be able to redirect to a certain part of the html that the perl script is generating. When I setup this manually it works. ( typing directly the html link into the attribute )

 
When I put the html link into elog config file it will never show up the correct format : everything after the '#' is translated into the digit 1. ( So you get  http://Someserver/someDir/perl.pl1 . ) 

I tried to escape with \# used quoting " and '. No luck.  Tried to use the a , No luck. 

I've tested with several versions of elog but it seems that it has never worked. 

Allow HTML = 1 dit not work for me.

Has it to do with the autoincrement  ? ( Subst Number = XYZ-##### ) I think so because of the 1 that is returned if i use a http link . When I use the same link  http://Someserver/someDir/perl.pl#subject a second time i'll get back :
http://Someserver/someDir/perl.pl2 . So it seems that the auto increment feature plays a role in this one. 

 

Can this be done in the attributes of elog.? Can I have a # in a hyperlink ?

 

Thanks for your time.

Today I released version 2.9.1 which fixes this problem.

 Thank you Stefan!  I put up your new svn revision and we're back in business.  Seems to be working perfectly.

 

And thank you again for your efforts with regards to ELOG.  It is an incredibly handy tool.

  67200   Wed Feb 15 17:17:27 2012 Question Mark Bergmanmark.bergman@uphs.upenn.eduQuestionLinux2.90elog entry in email footer?

On our system, elog sends email to all people associated with an entry. Often, people will respond via email, not through elog. I'm in the process of setting up a handler for the inbound email. However, I'd like to have the outbound mail from eLog include a 'footer' to each message the details where to go to respond.

For example, the footer might read:

To respond to this message, please click the following link:
<http://www.example.com/elog/General/6153>

Any suggestions for how to implement that?
