I believe Yanick means the SMTP port, not the port under which elogd is listening. The SMPT port is hard wired to 25, because port 587 was not yet defiend when I wrote that code. I can make this a variable, but only if it works. So Yanick can you test if port 587 accepts normal SMTP commands? We don't have such a new server at our lab and I cannot test it. Under Windows you can open a command prompt and telnet to the mail server:

telnet <server> 587
HELO test
MAIL FROM: test

your server should then reply with "220 ..." and "250 ..." messages. Once this works, I will implement the variable SMTP port.

Hi,

We've made changes in our network and now we have to use port 587 instead of port 25, how can i edit that parameter?

Thanks

I just tried myself with the current version 3.1.4 and it worked for me flawlessly. Maybe you want to upgrade.

Hi,

When i set Language = French in global config it works in french until i logout, after i can't login anymore, even if i enter my user and password i always stay at the login window, the only way to login again is to edit the Elogd.cfg file in Elog directory, remove the Language = french and save then i can login in and work normally in english version.

 

Thanks.

Ok, so I added the option 

STMP port = xxx

where you can specify 587 to override the default port 25. I committed the changes to bitbucket. Can you compile from sources, or do I have to dig out my dusty Windows PC?

I Stefan, it works with the 587 port.

Sure that's easy. Install elog on each laptop separately, so they run without network. Then, set up a central elog server, and use "mirroring" as explained in the documentation at https://elog.psi.ch/elog/config.html#mirroring

So when ever the entwork comes back, you execute a manual mirror operation, and your new entries will be pushed to the central elog server.

Best,
Stefan

I have a setting which makes ELOG a perfect solution, but there's a situation that I'm struggling to get my head around. We have 3 separate laboratories, each one containing a number of temperature chambers, which run almost constantly over a number of shifts. Each temperature chamber has it's own logbook (laptop). So far, pretty simple.
My dilemma is, our network goes down for maintenance/updates (more often than I'd like), but our operation cannot afford to stop during network interruptions.
With that said, I thought about whether I could run a "local" logbook on each laptop/chamber, and somehow mirror the local logbook to the main ELOG server.
Perhaps I'm over-thinking this...do you have any recommendations?

I would call the laptops the "master" being responsible for pushing data to the central server which you can call "slave"

Thanks Stephan! I guess I was making it harder than it is.  I'm still a little fuzzy -- in this instance, am I correct in saying that each laptop would be considered a "master", and the remote (network) server considered the "slave"?  Also, I'm not sure quite sure -- which server should be assigned responsibility for performing periodic synchronization between the laptop and the central elog server?

Thanks again for all you do -- Happy Holidays!
