Ok, so this patch fixes the problem on the client side (rather than the server side like my patch) of the
cloning process. I can't tell from the patch above but will this fix allow the cloning process to "complete"
but without the password file being copied, or does code outside the patched section try to login and get
the password file?


Well, why don't you give it a try and let me know if the is any problem left?


Sorry to report that it fails same as originally with:
  Received invalid response from elogd server at http://example.org:8080/Discussion/

However there was a fuzz of 12 lines when I applied the patch, but I think it got the right line.

  66831   Fri May 21 14:37:26 2010 Entry Allenbastss@rit.eduQuestionLinux2.7.8Restricting logbook view

Is there anyway to restrict access so that a user can only see the log entries they post or only replies to their log entry?  I know it is possible to restrict editing to only posts they submitted, but I have a need to not even allow them to see other posts except for what they submitted and I am wondering if this is possible currently, or if this is planned, or could be planned for a future version?


Thanks,

 

Allen

I have v2.7.7 of elog running on a OSX system running 10.6 I configured and installed about a year ago.  It's a wonderful thing to have.

I acquired another system running 10.6 to dedicate to the elog app.  I downloaded 2.7.8  and performed the following steps:

extract tarball in the desired directory

run

tar -xzvf elog-x.x.x.tar


switch to the new elog-x.x.x directory edit Makefile and elogd.cfg files as needed

to create executables

run

make


to create directories & files

run

make install

When I try to execute elog as a daemon:

 

elogd -c ~vulcanstaff/ELOG-Workspace/elog/elogd.cfg -D

I get the following message:

-bash: elogd: command not found

I'm not understanding why elogd cannot be found.  The same message occurs when I try to test the installation with elogd -p 8080 from the sbin directory where elogd is installed.
 
I'm using the same Makefile and elogd.cfg files that work on the old system.  My elogd and elogd.cfg files appear to be in the correct directories indicated in the Makefile:
 
#############################################################

#
# Directories for installation, modify if needed
#

ifndef PREFIX
PREFIX     = ~vulcanstaff/ELOG-Workspace
endif

ifndef MANDIR
MANDIR     = $(ROOT)$(PREFIX)/man
endif

ELOGDIR    = $(ROOT)$(PREFIX)/elog
DESTDIR    = $(ROOT)$(PREFIX)/bin
SDESTDIR   = $(ROOT)$(PREFIX)/sbin
RCDIR      = $(ROOT)$(PREFIX)/etc/rc.d/init.d

# flag for SSL support
USE_SSL    = 1

# flag for crypt() support
USE_CRYPT  =

#############################################################
 
Again, this works on the old system.  Perhaps I've looked at it for too long, but I can't figure out what's going on.  Assistance is greatly appreciated.

Some Linux systems don't have the current directory (".") in the search path, so you have to start it with

./elogd -c ....

or explicitly with

/usr/sbin/elogd -c ...

Well, the official forum at midas.psi.ch cannot be changed by you. But if you installed a local logbook similar to the one here, you simple go and edit the configuration file elogd.cfg. Please read the documentation for further information.

No, this is not possible at the moment. As a workaround you could define one logbook per user, then restrict the user access to the individual logbooks. Of course this only makes sense if there are not too many users.

  66841   Tue Jun 8 15:48:06 2010 Question Yoshio ImaiRequestAll2.7.8inline-code
Hi, Stefan!

Sometimes, it is annoying that the
[code]
-Tag creates a line break, because there are situations where verbatim text inside the regular text flow is desirable (just like here). I would like to request an additional elcode-tag
[ilcode]
(in-line code) which translates to
<code>
instead of
<pre>
.

Cheers

Yoshio
