Thanks for a fast reply :)

Its a lot of html tutorials on the net, so i think i will make it with the tables ^^

Regarding the 'Options Category' I can live with it... I have removed edit mode in User, so only Admin can delete or edit.

One last question.. Background color possible?  (Not Style)

Only through style (that's what style is for, anyhow).

Thanks Stefan Ritt :)

 

Now.. here is my problem :P

 

1. I was wondering if there is a possibility to have separate 'Options Category'..  One for Admin and one for User?

    If it is possible, can i have an example?

This is unfortunately not possible. All users see the same options.

You can put the pictures in a table, and align the table cells accordingly. Here is an example:

 elog.png  elog.png

 

Now you can make the border invisible by setting "border=0". This however can only be done in the HTML mode, so you have to switch using the top left icon "Show HTML source code" and then manually edit the code. This requires some basic HTML knowledge. The result will look like this:

 elog.png  elog.png

Hi Stefan,

That's what I attempted to do, but the need to restart ELOG before I could get to the gdb console prevented us from obtaining a stack trace.  I am now setting up a test ELOG server where we will continue 
trying to reproduce our crashes and obtain a stack trace.

This has now been done and installed on our production server.  I will let you know if we have any more crashes with ImageMagick disabled.

Many thanks,
Devin

Crashes with attached images are getting reported more and more these days, but so far I was not able to reproduce it. Maybe it's related to ImageMagic 
somehow, in which case disabling this feature might give some insight. To do so, you have to modify elogd.c and recompile. Change

   /* check for ImageMagick */
   my_shell("convert -version", str, sizeof(str));
   image_magick_exist = (strstr(str, "ImageMagick") != NULL);


to

   /* check for ImageMagick */
   image_magick_exist = 0;

There are other debugers ...

  Whay don't you give them a try?

  example: Install "strace" (if you don't have it) and do something like ...

           strace   gdb /usr/local/sbin/elogd 6162  -debug 2>debug.out


   Also there is "ltrace", etc.

Hi, All.  Ever since upgrading from an old ELOG release on an aging windows machine to the latest version on Scientific Linux 4 (RHEL4), and 
greatly increasing its use, we have seen frequent crashes of elogd.  This has become very disruptive to operations, and any help would be greatly 
appreciated.  We are using Apache (running on the same machine as elogd) to secure ELOG using https as per the Administrator's Guide.

Anecdotally, the crashes seem to frequently happen when a user is attaching an image.  However, most of the time attachments succeed without 
incident.

I attempted to obtain a stack trace by attaching gdb to the process, but elogd died during the night.  It was urgently needed, so I needed to kill 
the elogd process (ptrace() kept it hanging around) and therefore could not obtain a stack trace.  For what it's worth, here is the output we do see in 
gdb:

I plan on letting elogd create a core dump, but so far I haven't managed to change its cwd to a directory elog can write to.

Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
