Mark Bergman wrote:

After registering, elog displays a page with the message:

     Error: Command "Config" is not allowed for user ""

However, the registration is successful. This causes confusion, and results in users registering multiple times.

 

In the elogd.conf file, I have the directive:

     Allow Config = bergman

 

Any suggestions?

 

Is anyone else seeing this? It's very confusing to new users.

Hey,

I am testing out automated entries using elog on the command line. The file I pass has html code for a table; the resulting entry shows the html code for the table instead of generating the table. Is there a way to make elog parse the code to show a formatted table?

Thanks  in advance.

The elog command has the option "-n <n>" to tell elog, what type of text it should expect.

[-n 0|1|2]               Encoding: 0:ELcode,1:plain,2:HTML

You'll find it explained in the documentation https://midas.psi.ch/elog/userguide.html#misc

It is necessary for elog to know the type of encoding, otherwise it would not show non-html content correctly.

Output when running elog with verbose option shows buffer overflow when resize attempted:

Falling back to default group "elog"

Any ideas how to fix this? I'm not sure if this is a problem with the elog / Ubuntu / Image Magick?


What happens if you execute the command manually, like

$ identify -format '%wx%h %c' '/home/elog/elog-2.9.2/logbooks/HardwareLog/140218_120423_2014-02-18_remod_(extended_II).png.png

The "identify" command just checks the size in pixels of your image and expects something like 800x600. Let me know if this command returns something completely different.

Sorry for very late reply. I recently rebuilt our server. Elog 2-9-2, new machine, new OS (Ubuntu 14.04), new version of ImageMagick (6.7.7-10), but I'm having the same unresolved problem. identify -format from the command line returns 645x860 (as it should). Any ideas?

 Hi all,

I would like to create a new entry remotely.

I would like that when the macro run, the macro automatically create a new entry in my Elog.

I was searching, but i don't saw any thing about this.

Is possible to do a new entry remotely?

 

Thanks for all.

Use the "elog" command line utility as described here under tips & tricks: http://midas.psi.ch/elog/userguide.html

  67692   Fri Aug 1 22:46:09 2014 Question Chuck Brostbrost_chuck@solarturbines.comQuestionWindowsElog V2.9.Elog and Certs

Elog V2.9.1-2435 if it matters. 

It is time again to install the certs for SSL in Elog, and the standard openssl command line does not seem to produce the files that I need in order to get it working on my system.

I copied the file to my trusty linux server and ran the command "openssl pkcs12 -in cert.p12 -clcerts -out cert.pem " as I did last time, last time I got a nice little .crt and .key file.. this time.. no such luck.. I can get by with the guys just hitting the continue and go past the expired cert notice for a bit.. but if I cannot fix it reasonably soon.. well, it won't be pretty for me.. <grin>

Any ideas that anyone can give will be appreciated.. this is a bit outside my usual duties around here..

I'm not an expert in this field, but I think openssl is not meant to create a certificate for you, it is meant to create a certificate request form (CSR) and then you buy the certificate with that form from a vendor. Once you have the certificate then you just need to copy it to the right place for ELOG (or Apache) to use it, you don't need openssl for that.

You can have a look at: http://www.rackspace.com/knowledge_center/article/generate-a-csr-with-openssl

Good luck!

 

PS: This is of course an openssl question: another forum could may be more helpful?
