Hello:

I am running release 2.7.8 of elog. I am using the cloning/syncing features
to maintain a backup/slave and at some point it stopped cloning the password
file.

Operating systems/software:

   master: ubuntu 10.4 using locally compiled elog 2.7.8-2278
   slave: solaris 10 using locally compile elog 2.7.8 without SSL support

A sample run (hostname edited - available by private email if needed) is:

  $../elogd -C http://host.example.org:8080/ 
  Overwrite local "elogd.cfg"? [y]/n:  y

  Remote configuration successfully received.

  Option "Mirror server = http://host.example.org:8080/" added to config file.
  Option "URL = xxx" has been outcommented from config file.

  Retrieve remote password files? [y]/n:  y
  Received invalid response from elogd server at http://host.example.org:8080/Discussion/

Running with -v doesn't produce any useful diagnostics as to what the invalid response is.

Trussing the process (again with host name editing) shows:

send(3, 0xFFBEE890, 93, 0)                      = 93
   G E T   / D i s c u s s i o n / ? c m d = G e t P w d F i l e  
   H T T P / 1 . 0\r\n C o n n e c t i o n :   C l o s e\r\n H o s
   t :   h o s t . e x a m p l e . o r g : 8 0 8 0\r\n\r\n
poll(0xFFBEC070, 1, 30000)                      = 1
recv(3, 0x011057B0, 251000, 0)                  = 119
   H T T P / 1 . 1   4 0 4   N o t   F o u n d\r\n S e r v e r :  
   E L O G   H T T P   2 . 7 . 8 - 2 2 7 8\r\n C o n t e n t - T y
   p e :   t e x t / h t m l ; c h a r s e t = I S O - 8 8 5 9 - 1
  \r\n C o n n e c t i o n :   C l o s e\r\n\r\n

If logged in as myself I go to http://host.example.org:8080/Discussion/?cmd=GetPwdFile
I do get the data so this looks like a password/authentication issue.

I have added Mirror user = rouilj to elogd.cfg, and it is present in the cloned elogd.cfg
but still no joy. I also copied the passwd file to the clone and made sure that it was being
successfully found and opened during the clone operation.

So where do I go from here in trying to troubleshoot the problem?

-- rouilj

Hello,

I try to start elog at Ubuntu 18.04. When I run sudo /usr/local/sbin/elogd -D -c /usr/local/elog/elogd.cfg I get following error:
/usr/lib/libssl.so.10: version `libssl.so.10' not found (required by /usr/local/sbin/elogd)

I checked following:
ls -l /usr/lib/libssl.so.10
lrwxrwxrwx 1 root root 41 Jan 29 08:24 /usr/lib/libssl.so.10 -> /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0
ls -l /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0
-rw-r--r-- 1 root root 424664 Aug 24 18:16 /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libssl.so.1.0.0

What's going wrong? And how to solve the problem?

Best,
Carsten

Announcing:  elog2sql

elog2sql was created to help translate logbooks created by the program
``elog'' from the native elog flat file format to a MySQL database.  I had a
need to have the elog data in a database, and it appears from the forum that
several others had a similar need.

 I created a set of perl scripts that will allow the translation of elog
logbooks into a MySQL database. The design and implementation of these
scripts are a simple one, and allow the one-time copying of a set of logbooks.

The elog2sql toolkit consists of two scripts. The first script, parsecfg.pl,
reads a elogd.cfg, and creates a sql file that will create a set of db
tables corresponding to elog logbooks. The second script, parselog.pl, takes
a set of elog logfiles, and creates a sql file that will enter the logbook
data into the database. The result is a copy of the elog logbook that can
used as desired inside the framework of MySQL. Attachments are handled by
inserting an entry of the attachment name into an seperate attachment table.
This allows multiple attachments per entry.

You can download the elog2sql program archive at
http://www.davidfannin.com/elog2sql/elog2sql.tar.gz . It contains the
scripts and basic documentation.  You can read the man page at
http://www.davidfannin.com/elog2sql/index.html

elog -h 192.168.0.25 -p 80 -l Database -a Type=test1 -a OS=W2K -a Loc=room1
-a Status=operational

doing anything wrong here?

impossible to create the moptions with 

-a Type#0="%D1%"
-a Itel#0="%zItel%"

the variable are set to 
set D1=Tel
set zItel=Tel.gif

other standard option work fine

does anybody has good experience with elog.exe command ?

elog -h 'my site elo' -p 83 -l 'my logbook' -a Phone="%2" -a Contact="%3 %
4" -a Type#0="%D1%" -a Cat="%5" -a Itel#0="%zItel%" "%6 %7 %8 %9"


----------------------------- here are the config in elog
[titiPHONE]
Comment = PhoneList 
Find menu text = menu/titiphone_top.html

Data dir = prive_Etienne/PhoneList
Guest Menu commands = Help
Find Guest Menu Commands = Help

IOptions Itel = Tel.gif, TelDirect.gif, Fax.gif, Gsm.gif, Tel2.gif, 
TelHome.gif,TelFax.gif,TelHelp.gif
ROptions Type = Tel,TelDirect,Fax,Gsm,Tel2,Home,Combine,TelHelp

Preset Itel = Tel.gif
Preset Type = Tel
Preset Prive = no
Preset Email =

Thread Icon = Itel
Thread display = $Phone,$Contact,$Dossier,$Societe($Type/$prive)

As the title says, we have our elog running behind an Apache proxy that is also providing authentication. We also have top groups enabled.  The first time a user views a top group page with a fresh browser cache, the index is delivered, but requests for elog.css and lock.png are returned with http 302 with location set to the elog root.  (I.e., if the server is proxied under server.example.com/logs,  the first request for server.example.com/logs/TopGroup1/elog.css returns a 302 with location set to server.example.com/logs// ). 

Any subsequent visits return the files fine. The attached screenshot shows the network requests in chrome. 

Is this a proxy configuration issue, something we've set wrong in elog, ??

Just compiled elog-2.0.5 under Solaris 8 and 9  without any warnings/errors
but the elogd binary just core dumps:

# /opt/ELOG/bin/elogd -c /opt/ELOG/elogd.cfg 
Indexing logbook "demo"...
Bus Error (core dumped)

.. tracing elogd shows:

... any glue ?

Hi all, 

Is it just my system or do others have this odd issue.

I have a pdf file which is 'upside-down', I attached it to an elog entry, and the .png image thumbnail was
generated.  Now this too was upside-down, so I tried to use the left (or right) rotation buttons along the top
of the image in elog to do a 180 degree rotation.
The first 90 degree rotation was fine, but the second attempt just made a smaller image.  
It happens with various pdf files generated by various software (in case).
I also tried it with a jpg file, in that case the second attempt enlarged the image.

I could not find any way to actually invert the .png image using elog; but I was surprised that a second
rotation ddid something different (change magnification) rather than nothing at all if it could only cope with a
90 degree rotation.

It's not a vital fix for me, but I have found the thumbnail (png) manipulation functions have a few rough edges,
so when necessary I use xv or gimp on the .png file to get what I want.

Or is this just my system?
