Sorry people,

I did not use de - n host/ip syntax at the startup of elogd.
Now it's working properly.

Do I need these dependencies for elog to work? If I do need them where do I get them for Suse 10.2.

Thank you for any help.

 Starting from 2.7.5, elog needs libssl for any https:// connection. Just install the RPM like you install any other RPM. Now I'm not familar with SUSE, but I found links like that:

http://lenz.homelinux.org/RPMs/

from where you can obtain RPMs. You might have to adjust your YaST installation sources. The package you need should be named opensll-xxx where xxx is some number.

 Thank you

I will look into it.

Carl

 Hi,

I just tried to install the latest elog on linux Fedora 10.  I also get an error saying that libssl.so.6 is needed.

But I already have libssl.so.7 installed.  Should I also install libssl.so.6 ?

thx,

-rob

Hi,

I am an apache ignoramus who has been trying to follow these instructions on a Debian 3.1 box.  I got hung up for
the following reason.  I had to explicitly enable some apache features, which was a simple matter of making the
following symlinks in /etc/apache2/mods-enabled: 

	proxy.conf -> ../mods-available/proxy.conf
	proxy.load -> ../mods-available/proxy.load
	rewrite.load -> ../mods-available/rewrite.load
	headers.load -> ../mods-available/headers.load
	ssl.conf -> ../mods-available/ssl.conf
	ssl.load -> ../mods-available/ssl.load

Easy enough.  The default proxy.conf has sensible-looking warnings about not running your server as an open proxy.
 However, I wasn't able to tweak it to encrypted port forwarding from :443 to :8079.

What I've done that works is to add a local proxy section to the /etc/apache2/conf.d/elogredirect.conf by Damon
Nettles:

	<VirtualHost *:443>
		### ... everything else

		<Proxy *>
			Allow from all
		</Proxy>
	</VirtualHost>

I think, since this is in a subsection, that it only affects that virtual host.  But it'd be nice if someone who
actually understands this language would reassure me that I'm not setting myself up for some security hole.  At
any rate it took me long enough to figure this out that I thought I'd post a note in public, and this seems like
the forum to do so.

Thanks.

Rob
  69397   Fri Oct 15 23:57:38 2021 Question Rob Calkinsrcalkins@smu.eduQuestionLinux3.1.4 Too many open files - issue?

Has anyone had issues with having too many files open? I'll setup my server and let it go but after a while, I end up with a lot of "cannot create socket: Too many open files" errors being reported.  I have a sync to another e-log going which I suspect is part of the cause since that e-log server hasn't had this issue. I suspect that there are files being opened, going into some return loop code and then never getting closed. I'm not a C programmer but I see lines like :

fh = open(tmp_filename, O_RDONLY);
      if (fh > 0) {
         read(fh, result, size - 1);
         close(fh);
      }

      /* remove temporary file */
      remove(tmp_filename);

This looks like it opens the file but unless the remove function closes the file, it will remain open even through the file has been deleted. Maybe this isn't the correct behaviour of 'remove' and I am mistaken?

There are also parts like :

 fh = open(textfile, O_RDONLY | O_BINARY);
      if (fh < 0) {
         printf("Message file \"%s\" does not exist.\n", textfile);
         return 1;
      }

      size = (INT) lseek(fh, 0, SEEK_END);
      lseek(fh, 0, SEEK_SET);

      if (size > (INT) (sizeof(text) - 1)) {
         printf("Message file \"%s\" is too long (%zd bytes max).\n", textfile, sizeof(text));
         return 1;
      }

This looks like for the second error, it will complain that the file is too long, return an error message but not close the file and would leave it open. Is this a reasonable avenue to pursue or am I mis-reading the code?   Thanks.

  69406   Tue Oct 26 01:21:01 2021 Question Rob Calkinsrcalkins@smu.eduQuestionLinux3.1.4While mirroring, data fields not preserved

While running two e-log books that were mirrored, I ended up with the situation of two entries with the same number/id.  The mirroring did what it said it would, increment the local logbook entry and grab the entry from the remote logbook. However, when it did, it did not preserve the fields in the log book that are specified in the config file such as "Author", "Priority", "Subject" ect.  I ended up with a very minimal log:
