I have a PDF file created by root which ImageMagic cannot convert to a .png file. If I do

convert img.pdf img.png

it works on my mac, but under RH7.4 the program goes into an infinite loop eating 100% CPU.

I attached the img.pdf, but compressed it to img.pdf.gz, otherwise I cannot post here.

Can anyone figure out why ImageMagick won't convert that file?

Hi I am running elog on windows 2022 server and trying to use ldap for Auth.

No matter what i do I cannot get it to authenticate against the DC.

Invalid user name or password!

Using an LDAP browser I can connect to the DC without issue so not firewall.

Not sure what I am doing wrong.

We have 68 logbooks and currently 60 GB data total. We run it as well on a VM, in our case with 8GB RAM.
The speed of ELOG is mostly given by the filesystem: when we had AFS it was very slow. With NFS it was better. But we now use a local disk on the VM: that is much better.
If you want to have the best performance (upload of large files can still slow down all users) then I would recomment local SSD for the file system of elogd.

You might talk to your system administrator: they can likely provide a local SSD on the VM server host.

We're up to 30 logbooks, 3.2GB data total and Elog damen has now become slow. Performance stats show 100%CPU on startup then reduces. Searches and general UI activity is slow. It runs on a VM with 4GB memory allocated. Up to 15 concurrent users.

Trimming and archiving some data files may help but I gather overall this is underpowered hardware in this instance so what is recommended system requirements for a config like this?

Probably you need a setting

URL = https://elog.test.km3net.de

or so in your elogd.cfg file.

We were running ELOG for many many years in our experiments and the instance was operated on a Debian XEN server as a container. I am now trying to migrate it into our Docker Swarm cluster and I am using the https://hub.docker.com/r/de1lz/elog-docker Docker image, which works very well with our logbooks when I run it as a single container. However, when I put the container behind my load balancer (HAProxy) using the simple HTTP mode (which works very well for all the other HTTP-based services) with this simple configuration:

backend be_elog.km3net.de
    mode http
    server-template km3net-elog- 1 km3net-elog_elog:8080 check resolvers docker init-addr libc,none

I get a "too many redirects" error when I try to access one of the logbooks. The starting page works fine, but every other link leads to a pile-up of redirects.

Here is the current instance running, where you can see the behaviour: https://elog.test.km3net.de (all log entries deleted and only two logbooks activated)

My question is: what kind of redirect could go wrong here? I don't know how the internal HTTP server of ELOG works, but maybe someone faced similar issues.

My ELOG configuration is also pretty basic, and as I wrote above, everything works when I run it without the load balancer (single instance at the moment). Here is the top part of the configuration, it contains a few dozens of logbooks but they are configured the very same way.

Thanks for the quick reply! Sorry, I forgot to paste the "global" part of the config, I have that URL already set:

I also tried the default configuration (example config) and it that works behind the load balancer. So I guess it's related to the password-page, which causes this redirect loop? Our logbooks are all password protected, so when a logbook URL is clicked, it should first present the login-form, and that's where it chokes.
