Error starting elog 3.1.2 on Windows server, posted by Peter K on Mon Oct 31 09:51:02 2016
|
Hi,
I'm trying to upgrade ELOG 2.9.2, which I have been used many years, to the new version (3.1.2).
I can't run the new version even from the command line:
c:\Program Files (x86)\ELOG1>"c:\Program Files (x86)\ELOG1\elogd" -c "c:\Program Files (x86)\ELOG1\elogd.cfg"
Access is denied.
Message box appears with message:
c:\Program Files (x86)\ELOG1\elogd.exe is not a valid Win32 application.
What do I do wrong ?
I'm trying to use my old config file. New default config gave the same result :-( |
Entries disappear after editing, posted by Peter K on Sat Jan 27 03:37:11 2018

Dear elog community,
We have a problem with elog V3.1.2-bd75964.
Sometimes entries disappear from the list after editing.
I found them in the .log files with attributes
Locked by:
Draft:
But they are not in the list anymore!
The only solution by now is manually remove these two attributes from the file,
but this is terrible.
How can I fix this?
Thanks,
Peter.

Thanks for fast response!
I LIKE locking and saving drafts.
The only problem is that the locked message disappeared from the list.
This does not happen every time one left the editor, but sometimes.
I can send you the problematic message as it was disappeared, before I deleted Locked by and Draft attributes.
I can't imagine why it is not shown in the list.

Drafts are message which somebody started to edit, but did not complete, like leaving the page without saving. If you don't like this, you can set "save drafts = 0".
The locking has a similar background. If you have locking on (vis "Use lock = 1"), then one person can "lock" a message, and other then cannot edit the same message. If you don't want that, switch locking off.
Best,
Stefan

Entries disappear after editing + UTF16 problem, posted by Peter K on Wed Jan 31 09:06:10 2018

I found a sequence which hides the message from the list.
In addition this sequence corrupts UTF encoding of the text.
- create new message
- submit it
- Edit this message again
- click SAVE and then exit the editor (click Logbook name in the header or BACK in the browser)
- message disappeared from the list!
- by clicking NEW message I found my lost one in the drafts, but all text was corrupted.
I've made small GIF presentation on this issue (attached, open in new window), may be this helps.

Dear Stefan,
Thanks for quick reply.
I checked List drafts = 1 in config file - it does not show drafts in the list in my case.
Can it be blocked by any other option?
I have these options enabled:
Use Lock = 1
Save drafts = 1
List drafts = 1
Peter.

The message is not lost, but becomes a "draft". This works similar in most email systems. When you edit an email and son't send it, it stays in your "draft" email folder and does not show up in your "sent" folder. Same here. You are suppost to "submit" you entry, the "save" is just a temporary safety backup. If you do not submit (if you press BACK or your browser crashes), the entry is not submitted to the system, but stays around as a draft. If you create a new message, the system asks you to edit and finish your draft, so that it does not get lost. So always hit "submit" if you are finished editing a message, not just "save".
If you want to see the draft message, they are rendered in red in the normal message list if you have
List drafts = 1
in your config file. No ide where your cluttering comes from.

We installed our elog from .apk in November 2017.
Version V3.1.2-bd75964
I suppose it already contains List drafts feature.

You might have to update to the current elog version. This feature was implemented in Dec. 2016.

yes, that is exactly where I got this V3.1.2-bd75964 version!
Do you recommend to download it again from your site and compile?

The -bd... number must be from the .apk package, which I don't have control over. You have to check the elog git hash code. You see it at the bottom of each elog web page. For this forum server, it's ELOG V3.1.2-7933898 with 7 digit number at the end.

Dear Stefan and Andreas,
We have updated our elog to V3.1.3-7933898, now I see the drafts in the list!
Thanks a lot for your help!

Hi Stefan,
I think there is a misunderstanding: there is an ELOG commit with the GIT ID bd75964.
It is from Sep. 2016, so: Peter, you should download a newer version.
Cheers
Andreas
