I'm not of the skill level to help, but for what its worth, running Ubuntu 12.04, used alien to install the latest RPM with only two little snags. I had to create a link from libssl.so.1.0.0 to libssl.so.6, which is a trick I've pulled with other software, not sure what the proper fix is. I also had to make similar changes to the init script.

Hi,

I wonder if it is possible to set a minimum default value for the height of the text box when submitting new entries. If I understood well, by default the text box height automatically resizes in order that all the elements of the page are visible. Actually for our needs having a minimum height of the text box fixed (for instance 500px)  is by far more useful of viewing the attachment box (we know it is down scrolling the page :) ). We know it is possible to resize the text box using the mouse but doing this every time one creates a new entry can be annoying. Setting a default minimum size would be more confortable. Is it possible to do this?

Thank you 

Beppe

I tried with Message Height = 100 inside the conifguration of my logbook, but nothing changed as you can see in the first picture...

What I'm looking for is a way, if possible, to start by default with a wider message box, someting like fig2. For our purpose, using wide tables, it would be very useful to have a wider message box in order to have a full look to the message content, and also having it by default without modifying it by hand with the mouse every time we submit something to elog.

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

Giuseppe

Thank you very much! It worked great!

We run elog on a server to provide a logbook for our laboratory. We noticed that elog is very slow on loading pages: browser pages spend a lot of time in charging (actually one can speed the procedure refreshing the page but it is quite annoying).

I checked the server load with top and it doesn't show any abnormal CPU or memory usage. Then I ran lsof and I noticed that there are more than 200 entries related to the same elog PID and labelled with CLOSE_WAIT.

My questions are: can the slowness of my logbook be due to the presence of all these CLOSE_WAIT entries (which seems if I understood well wait for a response)? If it's the case, how can I solve this issue?

Thanks

We obtained a certificate from let's encrypt in order to replace the self signed certificate provided with elog. We copied the new certificates replacing the older server.crt

The problem is that when restarted elog raises an error related to the fact it is looking for server.crt and it doesn't find it anymore.

I searched in elog config file in order to find a way to indicate the new certificate but I didn't find how to manage this issue.

Any suggestion?

Hi Laurent,

thanks very much! Probably I've copied the certificate in the wrong directory. I'll try ASAP
