Hi, 

changed the VALUE_SIZE from 256 to 512. That seems to fix the problem.

Regards,

Stefan

One of my users reported that he received this error when attempted to submit an editing entry. Basically he is only one to edit this entry. When go ahead to press the button, the entry is updated successfully. What cause and how to prevent this error not to populate? Thanks

Please read the documentation in https://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html und the option "Use Lock". If you don't need locking, just turn it off.

The problem there is that your SMPT server does not reply with
250 OK

which my server does. So elogd was waiting 3 seconds for "OK", and then aborted. I change the code (now in SVN revision 1871) to look for "250 " (with one blank at the end). You have to update from SVN, recompile and try again. Anyhow elogd only supports plain login authentication ("AUTH LOGIN"), which not all SMPT servers accept. You have to see.

This is what I get now, Is this the Auth Login problem you were speaking of?

No. It looks like PLAIN LOGIN is supported, but your username/password is wrong. Ask your SMPT system administrator.

Maybe advservices instead of advservices@XXXXX.XXX ? Just an idea.

No luck, i am going to setup another account on a different box and try again.

I am having another issue. I am using "Preset Author = $long_name" to set the authors name automatically.
But I also don't want the user to change it so i added "Locked Attributes = Author".

The filed is locked but the name shows up on its own line above the "Fields marked with * are required"

As soon as I remove the "Locked Attributes = Author" it shows up correctly in the Author bar.
