Thanks for reporting this. I could reproduce the prolem thanks to the config file you supplied. I fixed the problem and made a new release 2.6.1-3.


It works now fine.

Thanks & Regards

icon1.gif   Upgrade from 2.3.8 to 2.6.0 logbook problem, posted by Jesse Wodin on Sat Dec 3 23:32:13 2005 
Hi, I'd like to upgrade from an old version of elog 2.3.8 to 2.6.0. I installed the new version, and it runs fine, but it doesn't seem to see my old logbooks (the path in the conf file is correct). Do I have to upgrade my logbooks somehow?

THanks!

Jesse

Thanks, you were right, it was just a permissions problem on the logbooks, which I had copied over as root.

icon1.gif   Proxy question, posted by Jesse Wodin on Wed Dec 7 02:37:40 2005 
I'm trying to run elog 2.6.0-beta4 under Apache 2.0.  I follow the directions, and everything works fine, so my
elog runs as

http://grattalab3.stanford.edu/elog/

running under port 8082, with the following lines in my httpd.conf file

 Redirect permanent /elog http://grattalab3.stanford.edu/elog
 ProxyPass /elog/ http://grattalab3.stanford.edu:8082/

This machine has an alias, which is http://exo-elog.stanford.edu.  My question is, how can I run elog so that
when someone types in this name, it brings up my elog? I know that I can make a VirtualHost entry and put a
redirect at the document root of that virtual host, but that seems clumsy.  Can I just modify ProxyPass or add a
Redirect statement somehow?

Thanks!
icon8.gif   Elog crashing with "segfault" during file upload, posted by Jesse Wodin on Thu Jul 17 01:16:49 2008 

Hi there, I just compiled and installed elog on a machine running the newest Ubuntu server. Everything went fine - no problems. Running elog on it's own (no apache).  I moved over a bunch of logbooks from an older elog, which seemed to work. Now, elog seems to crash when people are uploading files. Here is a snip from my syslog, and you can see each time it crashes with "error 4."

icon5.gif   Hiding attributes in Detail view?, posted by Justin Ellison on Fri Mar 2 16:39:22 2007 
First off, thanks so much for this product. It works excellent for us as a server activity log. I have a question, which depending on the answer, might be a feature request Wink

As I mentioned, we use elog as a serverlog. Sometimes, but not always, we will have a Bugzilla bug # that is associated with the log entry. We then take that bug #, and build a link to our bugzilla server displaying the bug. Here's the relevant config entries:
Attributes = Author, Classification, Subject, Bug Number, Environment, Server, Bugzilla
...
#Make the list table narrow enough to fit in the browser
List display = ID, Date, Author, Subject, Server, Bugzilla
...
#We take in a Bug Number from the user, then calculate a Bugzilla link from that
Change Bugzilla = <a href="http://bugz:4545/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=$Bug Number">$Bug Number</a>
List Change Bugzilla = <a href="http://bugz:4545/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=$Bug Number">$Bug Number</a>
Hidden Attributes = Bugzilla

So, on new entry, the user has the option to enter a Bug Number. Bugzilla is not displayed because it is derived. In list view, Bug Number is not displayed, but Bugzilla is, providing a handy link to the bug on a different server.

The only thing that isn't working as I'd like is when someone views a log entry. Both Bug Number and Bugzilla show up in the attributes. This isn't a huge deal, it's just showing redundant data.

Is there a way to hide Bug Number on the view page?
