Elog Crashes, posted by lance on Mon Jul 20 09:26:41 2009 
|
Stefan,
Our log is crashing on a regular basis and I have been unable to identify the reason. Now the if the log crashes that is not a major problem however when you try to stop the daemon from the services it fails to stop. This means that the daemon cannot be restarted. The only way then is to start killing processes. This is not something I want none experienced guys to do.
Looking at the processes is look like the elogd.exe is still running and doesn’t die when you try to stop the daemon service.
I checked the times it was crashing with events in the elog logfiles but there was nothing actually happening at these times. It seems something is causing it to just hang.
I have attached the eventlog files for you if you have any ideas I would appreciate them.
I have not run the log in verbose mode as I have thus far been unable to redirect the output of the screen in order to see what is happening. If you have any tips on how to redirect the output I would save the file for off line analysis. Our log is used 24/7 therefore it is critical that it be kept running so if I was to run it with the –v option the guys would have to restart it and I would lose the data.
Any help is much appreciated
Regards,
Lance |

SQL Database, posted by lance on Thu Sep 2 10:30:14 2010

We have been running elog for a few years now and its solid. The only thing is we are getting to 140k entries over a few books and its starting to slow down whist searching. My questions is can we go to an SQL type database rather than a flat file? Is it worth it? Is anyone running this type of configuration? |

Google Chrome issues, posted by kyoo on Wed Jan 7 19:54:18 2009

I use Google Chrome for web browsing these days.. I've had serious issues with surfing some of the pages of our ELOG V2.7.5-2130 site. For instance, I can surf directly to our url to create a new entry (http://changelog.company.com/Company+IT+Change+Log/?cmd=New) and see the page just fine. But when I click on the header to go back to the main page (http://changelog.company.com/Company+IT+Change+Log/) I end up with this error:
This webpage is not available.
The webpage at http://changelog.company.com/Company+IT+Change+Log/ might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.
Below is the original error message
Error 320 (net::ERR_INVALID_RESPONSE): Unknown error.
But when I visit the DEMO elog site (http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Linux%20Demo/) it pulls right up just fine.. My site also works in IE without problems.
Any ideas? I run our ELOG on windows server.. maybe that has something to do with it..

So, is your kubuntu elog server internal only, as well? My elog server on windows is an internal only server..
and there is no proxy or firewall between chrome and the elog server.. I didn't set it up, but I think elogd runs
it's own web service.. probably apache within the win32 port.
It's good to know someone else has the issue, at least. I'd like to find a publicly available elog server so
that the elog developers could recreate the issue and thusly fix the issue. Or at the very least send the broken
URL to Google Chrome developers to see if it's a bug in the browser or not.
I ran wireshark to capture what happens at the ethernet level, and it seems that the HTTP response doesn't come
through properly. My response packets to the TCP response packets seems to be:
"Acknowledgment number: Broken TCP. The acknowledge field is nonzero while the ACK flag is not set"
My system never receives enough TCP packets to reassemble it to a properly formatted HTTP response.

Thanks. I'll have to wait for someone else to build the win32 binary, as I'm not set up to compile it myself. |

I installed the latest Windows build (didn't realize I missed a build in November), and it now works in Chrome. Thanks! |
Reply not working correct, posted by kyle carpenter on Tue Jul 21 22:29:17 2009

Hi,
I love this software. I am not a programmer but have learned alot about the program.
I have 2 questions.
1. when i do a reply it will bring the original qutes with it but i have the option to change what had been entered. once i do the reply and reply to the reply i can not change the first reply but can change the second reply. This just started last week and i am not sure what has changed. i even uninstalled and reinstalled. If I try to just the HTML i tcomes up with code? If I do elcode seems to do ok just not able to stop the editing of the the last reply. Plain seems to do the same as ELcode.
2. I have also had trouble with E-Log not starting on my XP machines. Any ideas?
Thanks for sharing such a powerful program it is sweet.

How does one create a html template for an entry, posted by kenzo Abrahams on Thu Oct 15 12:32:19 2015
|
Good Day
I am new to elog and have a question. This is best explain with an example. If I have two logbooks named "home" and "work" and I would like all the entries of home to be of a specific html format (for example a table containing
a set amount of rows and columns) and work can be any plain text entry how would I go about doing this? I saw the documentation mention something about html templates but i cant seem to find the section about where they are stored
or how they are created and applied to a specific logbook. I know how to restrict the entry encoding to either html, elcode or plain text for a logbook. Any help would be appreciated.
Regard
