Well, for that I have to reproduce the problem. So best would be if you strip it down to the bare minimum in order to reproduce this reliably. Then you zip everything and send it to me. Then tell me what I have to edit and submit in order to stimulate the crash. Once this is successful, I can fix it.

Thank you - I shall look into that, though it'll probably take a while to prepare it.

icon1.gif   Odd problem (bug?) with certain attribute, posted by T. Ribbrock on Tue Jul 28 16:30:46 2009 

I have the following simple test logbook:

; General
List display = Edit, Hostname, OS, Size
Entries per page = 150
Quick filter = OS
Date Format = %d/%m/%Y
Summary Lines = 0

; Attributes
Attributes = Hostname, OS, CPU,Size
Required Attributes = Hostname
Sort Attributes = Hostname

; Message part: log is text only, but elog is allowed
Default encoding = 0
Allowed encoding = 2

For some strange reasons, I'm having problems with the "Size" attribute, which I have added later. If I start adding/editing entries, at some point, the "Size" attribute will stay at "0" and will not accept any further changes. I've tried to pare down the config to maybe find which statement could be causing this, but to no avail. The only thing I can say is taht id doesn not seem to happen if the configuration consist of the sole line

Attributes = Hostname, OS, CPU,Size

I'm quite puzzled as to what is going on here (the original problems stems from a more complicated logbook) - I'm not even 100% sure whether this happens due to a bug or not.

 

Regards,

 

Thomas

That's indeed a strange bug, and thanks to your detailed explanation I could easily reproduce it. The problem was that in the ELCode toolbar there is already a "SIZE" parameter, which gets submitted instead of your "size" attribute. Therefore whatever you submit as "size", gets replaced by zero (since the SIZE drop-down box usually sits at zero). So you can either go and change your "size" attribute into someting else like "Memory Size", or you upgrade to version 2244, where I fixed this problem.

 Very nice, thank you! Given that I also still have to test the fix you made for the crash problem with "shared" logbooks (I assume it's also present in 2244), I'll upgrade and report back (probably tomorrow).

 2244 is now running, and indeed, the "Size" attribute works now. Thank you!

By now, I've installed 2244 and ran some rudimentary tests. So far, I was not able to reproduce the crash anymore. Looking good!

icon5.gif   Elog & SSL Export to CSV , Problem, posted by Chuck Brost on Wed Sep 16 16:37:35 2009 

 

We use eLOG with IE. Once we turned on SSL, it is no longer possible to "Export to CSV" and save the output.

The error that we get is:

Internet Explorer was not able to open this Internet site. The requested site is either unavailable or cannot be found. Please try again later.

This is documented on Microsoft's site: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/316431

It is considered a feature with no fix. Basically the browser is honoring a request from the server which is "Pragma: no-cache". Problem can be reproduced in IE versions 6 through 8.
