I know you want to make ELOG a stand alone program. But is there a way to still make a stand alone but have the option work with LDAP?
FYI
Elog works great we us it for our shift carryover and we have about 25 people useing it and I have heard no complants with it.
Thanks

I added your vote to the "PAM" authentication on the wishlist, since PAM contains an LDAP module.

Please Add my vote too. I think that would be great.
icon6.gif   Problem selecting ports, posted by Chris Warner on Fri Jan 13 03:21:32 2006 
I had problems getting elog to run on port 8080 (or many others). I have it installed on Redhat Enterprise Linux rel 4. The only way I was able to get it working was using port 80. I would like to run it on a different port if possible but I'm not sure what is wrong.

Any Ideas

Is it possible to configure elog to copy a new entry from 1 logbook to another?

Hi Stefan,

I couldn't solve this problem yet...
I have been tried a lot of configurations, but our Elog doens't work well in IE with https Crying
It works very well to read, list, find the messages, delete, and so on...
But all users have problems with edit and preview commands when they are using IE + https.

When we use Elog in IE without https, everything works fine. ?)

We are using :
httpd-2.0.54
Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow)
elog-2.6.0


The redirect directive in httpd.conf:
<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xx.xx>
    ServerAdmin our.email.address
    DocumentRoot /www/apache/htdocs
    ServerName our.server.name

    # Rules to new  elog 2.6.0 
    Redirect / https://our.server.name:9898

    ErrorLog logs/error_log
    CustomLog logs/access_log common
</VirtualHost>



The proxy directives in ssl.conf:
(We used the http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/contributions/11 message like reference.
Thanks a lot for the contribution!!! Happy)
<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xx.xx:9898>
   # Here be standard configuration for the Virtual Host
   ServerName our.server.name:9898
   ServerAdmin our.email.address
   RequestHeader set Front-End-Https "On"

   # This be the path to the elog directory
   # (This didn't seem to make any difference, but it be a good
   #  idea nonetheless)
   DocumentRoot "/www/src/elog-2.6.0"

   # Here be the setup for the SSL component of the Virtual Host
   SSLEngine On
   SSLCertificateFile /www/apache/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
   #SSLCertificateKeyFile /www/apache/conf/ssl.key/server.pem
   SSLCertificateKeyFile /www/apache/conf/ssl.key/server.key

   # Here be the setup options for the Proxy module
   ProxyRequests Off
   ProxyPreserveHost On

   # This be the root of the new Virtual Host, and it should be
   # redirected to the port the elogd server is listening to
   # (8082 on our poop deck).

   <Location />
        ProxyPass  http://our.server.name:8082/
        ProxyPassReverse  http://our.server.name:8082/
        SSLRequireSSL
   </Location>

   ErrorLog /www/apache/logs/error_log
   TransferLog /www/apache/logs/access_log
</VirtualHost>

And the URL is configured in elogd.cfg like your suggestion (Thanks ! Happy)
URL = https://our.server.name:9898

The elgod.cfg is attached to this message to add more details about our configuration.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Elaine

I edited and used preview many times and the ELOG worked fine without errors in IE. So, I think my problem is something configured in the proxy or https that Internet Explorer doesn't work very well in this circumstance.


Have a look at your URL = ... statement in elogd.cfg
It should probably read
URL = https://antares.ccuec.unicamp.br:9696

ELOG uses redirection internally. To determine it's own address, it uses the URL statement. If you use Apache as an proxy together with https, you have to specify the URL under which you usually access ELOG from outside. If this is wrong, ELOG might try to redirect to http:// or something which might not be possible.

A good way to debug this is to run ELOG with the -v flag and carefully watch the HTTP traffic. You will see Location: ... statements which redirect the browser, then the browser will access the redirected URL (if it's correct), or you will see nothing (in case the browser tries to access a non-existing URL).

Nevermind. this was an iptables issue.
