icon5.gif   link loss and crash of elogd.exe, posted by Ulrich Trüssel on Mon May 9 17:59:09 2005 
Just upgraded from stable running 2.5.2-2 to 2.5.9-2 in case of the usable
Duplicate function. After the problem discribed below i made a new, clean
installation again and played araound with the demo logbook, copying my
testlogbook (part of a real used and under 2.5.2-2 working logbook) into the
demo cfg file. 

ia figured out two serious problems:

1. If I copy the following section to the global into the demo lgbook,
elogd.exe crashes emediatly ewhile starting as a prozess:

[global]
Language = German
Theme = default
logbook tabs = 1
main tab = INHALT
welcome title = <b><big>Ulrich Rolf Trüssel</big></b>
Adressverwaltung (Geschäft & Privat)
Mensch-Tier Coaching&trade;&nbsp;&nbsp;-&nbsp;&nbsp;Mensch-Hund Coaching&trade;
Interessengemeinschaft Familienhund&reg; - Regionalgruppe Zentralschweiz
Lorenz Tierschule port = 8080 Theme = default Message Width = 100 Message Height = 25 Filtered browsing = 1 Suppress default = 2 Suppress Email on Edit = 0 Email Format = 0 Filtered browsing = 1 HTML default = 3 Reverse sort = 1 2. problem (the ting) that made me playing with teh demo cfg: There are totally 8 logbooks running, but just one has this strange problem of not giving a link to to the datasets in full and summary mode. I cutted down all the stuff back to this only lines: [Adresse2] Attributes = Kundensegment, Duzis, Hauptadresse, Selektion, Sperre, Adresse, Unterlagenversand, Empf. gegeben, Gruppe, Mitglied, URT, IGFH, Letzte Anmeldung, IGFH Gruppe, IGFH JB, Anrede, Titel, Briefanrede, Vorname, Name, Firma, Abteilung, Adresse Zusatz, Strasse, Landeskennung, PLZ, Ortschaft, Postfach, Postfach PLZ, Postfach Ort, Telefon Geschäft, Telefon Privat, Telefax, Telefon Mobil, EMail, HomePage, Funktion, Beruf, Geburtstag, Name Hund, Rasse, Sex, Wurfdatum, Anmeldung, Impfbüchlein, Welpenkurs, Erziehungskurs, Hundesport, Bestätigung, OCCH LN, Andere Kurse, Weitere Hunde/Tiere, Referenzen, KlientIn/KundIn List Display = Name, Vorname and got still the same problem. if i create a new logbook it will works, also ut works under 2.5.2-2 but not longer under 2.5.3 up (even not 2.5.9-2). any idea? mening this may be a VERY basic logbook... trued with list display etc. around, nothinh happen. Need to go back to 2.5.2-2 where this wasn't a problem? thanjs for any idea of this to problems...
icon5.gif   Version of GCC to use?, posted by Steve Jones on Mon May 9 20:23:59 2005 
What is the recommended version of gcc to use with elog 2.5.9?  I searched
the discussion database but found nothing pertaining to this. 

Thanks

Ack, ok, I moved the includes into src and tried re-compiling -- and received several
"undefined symbol" errors from the linker.  Clearly the libraries cannot be moved into src?
icon5.gif   A comprehensive listing of all commands elog performs, posted by Gary Clayson on Thu Jun 2 06:45:55 2005 
Can someone please enter a comprehensive list of the commands eLog will honor. I'm trying to build a 'decent' start page and am not totally familiar with eLog just yet. Thanks Stefan for an awesome application. The documentation is really decent, too. I just have been unable to locate a list of all commands available.
Thanks in advance.

icon5.gif   Unable to send mails through elog, posted by Kumar on Wed Jun 8 10:45:18 2005 
Hi All

I need to send mail through Elog. With Version 2.5.7 it seems to work only when less content is in the elog entry. But when I fill in a lot of content into one entry, it confirms the mail is sent but I dont receive the mail.

I thought it was a bug in 2.5.7, so I installed the new version 2.6-beta. With this version I am not even able to send any mail eventhough elog confirms it has been sent. Same is it case for 2.5.9.

Please let me know if there is a fix..

Thanks
Raj
icon5.gif   Moving eLog from Server to Server..., posted by Charles Duncan on Sat Jun 11 02:29:01 2005 
I am moving my eLog system from one server to another.

I moved all my log books, my /etc/elog.conf, and /usr/share/elog/elog.pwd file. Did I miss anything?

The Logbooks come up fine on the eLog list, but when I try to access them I get invalid user name...

Do I have to do some sort of conversion to move the pwd file from one server to another?

Or should I try using the sync command for the move? does sync also move the pwd file??

icon5.gif   Cloning, posted by Gerfried Kumbartzki on Fri Jun 17 20:30:53 2005 
Elog is installed on a laptop (Redhat Linux 2.4.20-8) for quite a while. I like to have a "base" of that logbook on a server and keep it
in sync. Mirroring seem to be the perfect solution. For that I updated to elog v2.6.0 yesterday.

The server is an Alpha running Linux Redhat 7.1. I compiled from elog-latest.tar and installed elog in the 'same' locations as on the laptop.
Created a user elog and a group elog, put elogd.cfg, themes, logbooks ... in /usr/local/elog, owned by elog. Started the elogd, tested,
all seems to work. The elogd.cfg has a read and write passwd set. Any user can access the logbook, read and write after providing the proper user id and password.
Next I wanted to clone the logbooks from the laptop to the server. As superuser I can start elogd -v -C http://latop:8080, but get stuck right away with "Cannot contact elogd at http://laptop:8080/"
As user it works as follows:

Remote configuration successfully received.

Option "Mirror server = http://wotan.rutgers.edu:8080" added to config file.
Logbook directory "logbooks" successfully created.
Created directory "demo"
Indexing logbook "demo" ... Found empty logbook "demo"
Created directory "tfexp"
Indexing logbook "tfexp" ... Found empty logbook "tfexp"

Retrieve remote logbook entries? [y]/n:

Retrieving entries from "http://wotan.rutgers.edu:8080/demo"...
ID1: Remote entry received

Retrieving entries from "http://wotan.rutgers.edu:8080/tfexp"...
Error accessing remote logbook

Cloning finished. Check elogd.cfg and start the server normally.

Allthough, tfexp contains a number of entries all owned by elog like the entry in demo.
Beside missing the real stuff everything ends up in the users home directory. I would like it in the general area (/usr/local/elog for instance).

The other option is to use synchronize after changing [global] from with in the browser. Start elogd, open the logbook and click on config,
enter a Mirror server = http://laptop:8080/
Clicking synchronize give "Error accessing remote logbook"

Again, the logbooks are on both machines in /usr/local/elog/logbooks (owner:group elog:elog). The tfexp in this case is passwd protected.
Any user can access the elogs in both machines, locally or remote. But, I'm unable to synchronize the two.
Maybe somebody can point me in the right direction.

Thank's Gerfried
