icon1.gif   (my) Firefox breaks Elog with this config file, posted by Michael Husbyn on Wed Jun 24 13:23:49 2009 elogd.cfg
Hi, Did a fresh install on a Windows 2003 server (and tried it on my personal computer) After startup I can click on Norway/nor, and then the server just stops responding. I see in the log nothing, the last line: Received unknown cooke "style" Then it stops responding and after a few seconds I see the dos window returns to commandline prompt. Probably a very bad config file. On Windows XP it informs we of Dr Watson, memory could not be read message. Using Firefox 3.0.11 But if I use IE 7, no problem at all.. Any suggestion? Best regards Michael Husbyn

This must be related to the unknown cookie "style". There was some work recently on elog to make it robust against unknonw cookies. The latest modification was on version 2192, and you probably have an older version. I made a release elog276-2.exe for you. Try it and let me know. You can also just delete your cookies in Firefor and it should be fine, but it's better not being able to crash elog.

Sure I will try, but I cannot find the version you are talking about in the download section. Should I find it there or any other place? Thanks for quick feedback

Ah, the GET /nor/elog.rdf gave me somt hint: Your Firefox browser checks the RSS feed of elog regularly. If the logbook is empty, the routing producing the elog.rdf file went into some kind of infinite loop, but this only happens on an empty logbook. If fixed this and updated the 276-2 file just now, so try again.

Looks like problem is fixed :)

Thanks for your help

Hi,

A user tried to import a CSV file, which caused e-log to add a field called "date" to the list of attributes (and then crash). This caused the log-book to be blocked until someone (guess who) would go edit the elogd.cfg file and then trigger a reload.

1. suggestion : E-log should not crash in this case

2. suggestion: E-log should not allow invalid attributes to be added via CSV Import, which causes the log-book to be blocked.

For the time being, I will just  "Deny import" (by the way, the doc says it is "Deny CSV import", but I think the syntax is "Deny import". Not really important.

I think this should be quite easy to reproduce.

Thanks a lot

Soren

If the CSV file contains a "date" column, elogd tries to interprete the date to the internal format. Now a date can be written in a huge number of variations, and I'm sure I did not cover all. So please send me your CSV file and I will fix the crash.
