Hello,

I wonder if it's normal that in the sources files, new created mxml directory is empty.

In commit # a6e5962 4 files are deleted but not moved:

- src/mxml.c
- src/mxml.h
- src/strlcpy.c
- src/strlcpy.h 

Thank you

Recently I have had problems with ELOG not accepting the certificates (in this case from https://letsencrypt.org/) probably due to the old version of the SSL library of the binary distribution for Windows.
I have tried to follow the instructions to set up ELOG to work with Apache but they are probably old.
I have a simple solution for the Apache installation of XAMPP, the example is for two separate logbooks using each its own ELOG service on the same server:

1. I have set up the two ELOG to run as http://my.server.example.com:8080/ and as http://my.server.example.com:8081/

2. in c:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf I have enabled the following (I am not sure if all the modules are really needed but this works for me):

LoadModule proxy_module modules/mod_proxy.so
LoadModule proxy_http_module modules/mod_proxy_http.so
LoadModule headers_module modules/mod_headers.so
LoadModule proxy_html_module modules/mod_proxy_html.so
LoadModule xml2enc_module modules/mod_xml2enc.so

3. still in c:\xampp\apache\conf\httpd.conf, at the very end of the file I added the following:

ProxyRequests off

Redirect permanent /app1 https://my.server.example.com/app1/
ProxyPass /app1/ http://my.server.example.com:8080/
ProxyHTMLURLMap http://my.server.example.com:8080 /app1

Redirect permanent /app2 https://my.server.example.com/app2/
ProxyPass /app2/ http://my.server.example.com:8081/
ProxyHTMLURLMap http://my.server.example.com:8081 /app2

This way I can now connect to the two ELOG using https://my.server.example.com/app1/ and https://my.server.example.com/app2/ without troubles and no additional setting to either the configuration files of ELOG nor any need for virtual hosts, ...

I hope this might be of use.

A new version 3.1.5 of elog has been released with all accumulated fixes over the past actually few years. I made a tar file, a RPM, but I could not compile yet a windows version.

Version 2.5.0 of ELOG has been released yesterday. The main new feature is 
the automatic mirroring of logbooks between different elog servers. 

This is useful if one wants to synchronize logbooks between a desktop PC 
and a laptop, for example. During synchronization, new or modified entries 
on both sides are merged intelligently. Another application is if several 
companies or institutes want to keep a ELOG database locally, but have the 
databases synchronized periodically with each other. Periodic mirroring 
can be set up with a built in cron-like facility. 

Although the synchronization has been tested extensively, I still consider 
this part in beta state. Before using it, one should make a backup of 
existing logbooks. The flag "Mirror simulate" can be used to test the 
mirroring without actually overwriting or deleting anything. If problems 
arise with mirroring, they should be reported to the author.

Localization files have been updated, so if anybody volunteers to update 
or make a new translation, please contact the author.

Hi Stefan,

The parsing now seems OK, IE downloads the XML and the RSS reader of Avant 
Browser 
accepts the feed. 
I still have a problem however : below the header, only the first 3 items 
are displayed and it seems only partially.
I included the HTML result so you can "visualize" what's going on (this may 
also be on the avant browser side !).

Cheers,
Marc

elog -h midas.psi.ch -l Linux+Demo -d elogs -a Author=nobody -a Type=Other -a Category=test -a "Subject=hello" -m /tmp/hello.txt

I hope this helps.
