Hi all,

ELOG V3.0.0-21dc563

Our elogd dies alwways when searching for full text:
    icon7.gif   solved: elogd dies upon search, posted by Christian Ludwig on Fri Jun 3 08:59:49 2016 
I would like to share my findings about the solution of our problem:

One of my collegues used elog in a way it was not intended for, he put an endry with 8021 lines of text.

So I grabbed the corresponding 160517a.log file from logdir, renamed it to a text file and created a new entry with the large textfile as attachment.
Entry   Unable to set a custom logbook dir on Debian 8 from the repository package, posted by S. Caiazza on Tue May 31 19:53:59 2016 
Dear all

I installed elog from the current stable repository on Debian 8 (jessie)

The installation went on smoothly, I modified the configuration files of the Apache server as described in the manual to use the elog in parallel
icon5.gif   elog service crashes frequently, posted by Stan Turner on Sun May 22 04:05:12 2016 
We have always had issues with eLOG crashing intermittently...  I upgraded from Server 2003 to Server 2008 about a year ago to try to reduce the
issues...  which really didn't help.

The service now seems to crash every week...  (getting worse)...  Is anyone seeing these issues in Windows servers?  Any suggestions??

We do run ELOG on a Linux server and see about weekly crashes, too. It seems to be connected to the authentication process (Kerberos, File), but we could
not nail it down yet.

But we have set up a supervision process that checks every minute if the "elogd" process is still running. If not, it simply restarts

The elog client binary does not work with webserver authentication.  One fix would be to support both webserver and kerberos authentication (authentication
= webserver, kerberos), similar to how you currently support 
"authentication = kerberos, file".

Is it possible to submit entries using the elog client binary when the server is configured with webserver authentication (when the server requires the
X-Forwarded-User header)?  One option would be if the server could support both webserver and kerberos (or even file) authentication, but neither 
"Authentication = Webserver, Kerberos" nor "Authentication = Webserver, File" seem to work.
icon5.gif   Merge duplicate types, posted by John Mund on Fri May 6 16:19:10 2016 
Hello,

We have accumulated some duplicate 'types' in one of our logbooks.  Is it possible to merge them?

Thanks,

I'm not sure I understand your question correctly.

If you want to remove options from an extendable option attribute, then you can just edit the logbook configuration file.

icon5.gif   Trouble with Find and Conditional attributes, posted by Adam Fairbrother on Thu Apr 28 22:38:00 2016 
I seem to be having some trouble with Find when using conditional attributes.

when I change the primary attribute in the find field, the corrispnding secondary attribute dosn't refresh properly with the list of values.

I am able to use the conditional options as expected when creating a new logbook.

This may be due to how I have my config file setup

Example:

Attributes = A, B

Uppon closer inspection, removing the option to preset the secondary attribute as a Option list dosn't do anything for the find page.

This:

Attributes = A, B
icon5.gif   How to delete a logbook?, posted by steve bray on Thu Apr 28 16:45:41 2016 
Hello,

What is the procedure to delete a logbook (incl. attachments)?

 
    icon2.gif   Re: How to delete a logbook?, posted by Stefan Ritt on Fri Apr 29 11:45:51 2016 
Deleting a logbook in the config page (via "Delete this logbook") only removes the logbook defiition from the config file. To really erase
all information you have to go to the file system and delete the whole directory belonging to that logbook. You have one subdirectory per year, containing
all logobok entries and also attachments, so make sure you do a recursiver directory removal.

Stefan,

Thank you that is exactly what I needed to know.
