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, ??

Well I answered part of my own question already.. I can have a start page different from what is default, and I can edit the orginal one by simply copying it and modifiying it to my hearts desire. I still have isues  after making menu selections from that page tho,  when the program (server) takes me to a site called  for example: ../forum/index.html?cmd=Config. I cannot find out how to prevent or modify this behaviour. I am supposing tho, that because I am using my own original index.html (start page), that the program is not modifying it (on the fly), like it does with the oringal web pages?  I am also still currious if the program does indeed create/modify pages on the fly, and if it does, where does it store them on my hard drive (or is it only put in memory temporaly?). Thanx again :)

We're running elogd behind an apache proxy server, with Authentication = Webserver. We have top groups configured, but a single shared password file.

If a user is looking at a particular logbook and goes to the Config link, they are presented with a list of checkboxes for email subscription to logbooks in that top group.  Clicking "Save" will remove all email subscriptions from all other top groups.

Is there a workaround to this issue?

EDIT: Manually adding an entry for different logbooks in the password file gets clobbered the next time the user logs in.

Hi everybody,

sorry if this question has already been posed (I did a quick search but I didn't found anything): elog sorts entry by ID, I wonder if it is possible to pin an entry in order to be always on top of the page independently on its ID.

Thanks

This is not directly possible, but you can configure it with a trick. Create an attribute "pinned", make it of type "boolean", and set the start page such that it sorts using the "pinned" attribute:

Atributes = ..., Pinned
Options Pinned = boolean
Start page = ?rsort=Pinned

This move all entries where "Pinned" is true to the top of the list.

Dear all.

I am running elog 

elogd 3.1.4 , revision ead6bbc6

on Macosx Mojave

Darwin arpg-serv.ing2.uniroma1.it 18.5.0 Darwin Kernel Version 18.5.0: Mon Mar 11 20:40:32 PDT 2019; root:xnu-4903.251.3~3/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64

I managed to compile and run without problems the elog source code.

I can run it and have it properly displayed at boot time. After the server boot, for few hours, I have the elog ready at http://arpg-serv.ing2.uniroma1.it/elog  but then, after few hours.. I get that the service stops and the elog is no longer accessible.

So far I was able to track down the problems only to the 

/var/log/system.log

file in which I find a not useful error message:

Eg: Apr 23 14:00:46 arpg-serv com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (ch.psi.elogd[85248]): Service exited with abnormal code: 1

I do not know I can I debug this nor why the code runs for few hours without problems... I just re-downloaded the code from scratch today, unloaded and then re-loaded the daemon but still it fails with the same error.

I am sure that I can get it running again for few hours by re-booting. But I want to understand the source of the problem.. Anyone can be of help on this long standing issue?

Thanks

submissions via the elog - program can overwrite entries even if the user has no edit rights

Since there's no answer to that.
I am the only one with the problem? Did I just configure something wrong?
Thanks Heinz
