elogd crashes with malloc() memory corruption, posted by Mark Bergman on Fri Mar 1 16:35:21 2013
|
I'm having an issue with ELog 2.9.2 revision 2455 where it crashes consistently with:
*** glibc detected *** /usr/local/sbin/elogd: malloc(): memory corruption: 0x0000000014977210 ***
(the address varies). The crash seems to be triggered by the attempt to email a log entry. The log entry itself is saved. If I open the existing message for editing, make no changes, then Submit the message (in order to send email), the daemon crashes.
The behavior is consistent on multiple servers, each running CentOS5.9.

After registering, elog displays a page with the message:
Error: Command "Config" is not allowed for user ""
However, the registration is successful. This causes confusion, and results in users registering multiple times.
In the elogd.conf file, I have the directive:
Allow Config = bergman
Any suggestions?

Is anyone else seeing this? It's very confusing to new users.

Well, 5 years after opening this issue, with no responses here, I finally got into the source code and fixed it.
The problem seems to be if eLog is configured to prohibit users (non-administrators) from the "Config" option...but on the initial self-registration, the code goes to the Config screen for the user anyway...resulting in the false error message.
So, I [badly] hacked eLog to fix that, add some debugging/log messages, and to correct a typo.
Attached is the patch against release 3.1.1-1. Try not to cringe too much at my code. :) |
HOW TO change http://localhost:8080/ to an address where users can access?, posted by marion on Tue Apr 10 04:03:59 2007

hi folks
thankyou for your time
have read the user docs
and admin docs
and faqs
i used the latest windows installer to have the script runner as a server on windows
BTW i have been looking for over 3 years for this sort of thing - so i had given up for the i would say, i have looked at over 120 scripts and progs for possibilites - could this really be it?
i have managed to make another logfile using the config example
from stev ritt accelerator logbook
with a slight variation (changed file attached)as i could not make the original work for me as i do not know what i am doing.
i placed this in the demo config, underneath the code that was already there ie
Theme = default
Comment = General linux tips & tricks
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Options Type = Routine, Software Installation, Problem Fixed, Configuration, Other
Options Category = General, Hardware, Software, Network, Other
Extendable Options = Category
Required Attributes = Author, Type
Page Title = ELOG - $subject
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Type
I REPLACED BELOW CODE
; use user level password access
Password file = passwd
Login expiration = 1000
Admin user = ritt
Self register = 1
WITH THIS CODE
; use user level password access
Password file = XXXXXX
Login expiration = 1000
Admin user = XXXXXX
Self register = 1
==============================================
MY QUESTION:
HOW do i change the automated address http://localhost:8080/ to an address where users can access?
or do i tell them the address is http://localhost:8080/ - somehow i think that is not going to work for them even though it does for me.
my address is
http://organicparents.org |

Yes. |

eg online page?

If you run elog on the machine which has the internet address organicparents.org, then you will be able to access elog under http://organicparents.org:8080, given that your firewall allows this access from outside. |
hi again stefan
i am getting the idea that i am supposted to upload elog to my website ? is this correct?
ie e should make a directory for ELOG and load files - what files?
or all the files that came from the downloaded ELOG PROGRAM that i placed in my c-d rive ?
