Hi Stefan,

I couldn't solve this problem yet...
I have been tried a lot of configurations, but our Elog doens't work well in IE with https Crying
It works very well to read, list, find the messages, delete, and so on...
But all users have problems with edit and preview commands when they are using IE + https.

When we use Elog in IE without https, everything works fine. ?)

We are using :
httpd-2.0.54
Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow)
elog-2.6.0


The redirect directive in httpd.conf:
<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xx.xx>
    ServerAdmin our.email.address
    DocumentRoot /www/apache/htdocs
    ServerName our.server.name

    # Rules to new  elog 2.6.0 
    Redirect / https://our.server.name:9898

    ErrorLog logs/error_log
    CustomLog logs/access_log common
</VirtualHost>



The proxy directives in ssl.conf:
(We used the http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/contributions/11 message like reference.
Thanks a lot for the contribution!!! Happy)
<VirtualHost xxx.xxx.xx.xx:9898>
   # Here be standard configuration for the Virtual Host
   ServerName our.server.name:9898
   ServerAdmin our.email.address
   RequestHeader set Front-End-Https "On"

   # This be the path to the elog directory
   # (This didn't seem to make any difference, but it be a good
   #  idea nonetheless)
   DocumentRoot "/www/src/elog-2.6.0"

   # Here be the setup for the SSL component of the Virtual Host
   SSLEngine On
   SSLCertificateFile /www/apache/conf/ssl.crt/server.crt
   #SSLCertificateKeyFile /www/apache/conf/ssl.key/server.pem
   SSLCertificateKeyFile /www/apache/conf/ssl.key/server.key

   # Here be the setup options for the Proxy module
   ProxyRequests Off
   ProxyPreserveHost On

   # This be the root of the new Virtual Host, and it should be
   # redirected to the port the elogd server is listening to
   # (8082 on our poop deck).

   <Location />
        ProxyPass  http://our.server.name:8082/
        ProxyPassReverse  http://our.server.name:8082/
        SSLRequireSSL
   </Location>

   ErrorLog /www/apache/logs/error_log
   TransferLog /www/apache/logs/access_log
</VirtualHost>

And the URL is configured in elogd.cfg like your suggestion (Thanks ! Happy)
URL = https://our.server.name:9898

The elgod.cfg is attached to this message to add more details about our configuration.

Thanks in advance.

Regards,

Elaine

I edited and used preview many times and the ELOG worked fine without errors in IE. So, I think my problem is something configured in the proxy or https that Internet Explorer doesn't work very well in this circumstance.


Have a look at your URL = ... statement in elogd.cfg
It should probably read
URL = https://antares.ccuec.unicamp.br:9696

ELOG uses redirection internally. To determine it's own address, it uses the URL statement. If you use Apache as an proxy together with https, you have to specify the URL under which you usually access ELOG from outside. If this is wrong, ELOG might try to redirect to http:// or something which might not be possible.

A good way to debug this is to run ELOG with the -v flag and carefully watch the HTTP traffic. You will see Location: ... statements which redirect the browser, then the browser will access the redirected URL (if it's correct), or you will see nothing (in case the browser tries to access a non-existing URL).

Hi Stefan,

I observed that there is a difference between IE and others browsers.
When I use "insert image" button in Netscape, for instance,
it creates automatically a tag like
[IMG]elog:1/1[/IMG]
and
includes an attachment in the ELOG entry.

When a try to do the same action in Internet Explorer, only
the attachment is created without the tag
[IMG]elog:1/1[/IMG]
.

I did the same test using this forum, and the results are identical
that was related above.

Is it a bug or I'm doing something wrong ?

Thanks,

Elaine

This is a problem of the JavaScript implementation of Internet Explorer. After some externsive research I found now a way to convince IE to do the right thing. The fix is contains in SVN revision 1701 and will be released with 2.6.2-2 soon.



Great job !
I tried the SVN revision 1701, and it works perfectly.
Thank you for all your effort.

Hi Stefan,

I've been trying to use the astonished icon, but the preview or entry
display shows only a broken image.

I found in the elogd.c at line 5556 :
{"8o", "<img src=\"%sicons/eek.png\">"}

I copied the "astonished.png" to "eek.png" and it worked.

Is it the reason of the problem ? ?)

Thanks a lot.

Elaine

Actually the C code should be "astonished.png" instead of "eek.png". I changed that in revision 1704. BTW, thanks for the Brazilian translation. Astonished


Thank you for your quick response ! Astonished
Happy I'm glad to be able to contribute !

Our Unix server died, so we decided to move our old eLog to the new server, running Mac OSX. Elog version is earlier then 2013, I can not say

I read that on OSX  eLog must be intalled through "make" command

if I need to install eLog first, how to add all old information later?

I am setting this up as instrument log in a multi-hospital system, where there will be multiple instruments, in multiple departments, at multiple facilities.

I am using the "Top Group" function to keep the books separate so operators from one instrument/department/facility don't contaminate another instrument/department/facility's logbook.

What I am wondering is there someway to set it up so that a system wide manager could post a message to 5 individual logbooks for 5 identical instruments at 5 different locations all at once (one ELOG server)?

I hope this made sense.  Thank you for your help.

Unfortunately this is not possible at the moment. You would have to use the menu command "copy to" and enable it for the admin user. Then you create your entry, and click on "copy to" once for each location you want to copy this entry.

 

I found a way to get this to work.  Define a "Messages" logbook for the messages to be broadcast.  None of the user installations need access to it. Use "Execute new = " to execute a script calling the elog command line client passing the message on to each target logbook.  Example:

--- elogd.cfg snippet begin ---

[Messages]

...

Execute new = mass_post.sh $text &

--- elogd.cfg snippet end ---

--- mass_post.sh begin ---

#!/bin/sh

elog -a Sender="System Administrator" -l "Logbook 1" $@

elog -a Sender="System Administrator" -l "Logbook 2" $@

elog -a Sender="System Administrator" -l "Logbook 3" $@

--- mass_post.sh end ---

The $@ expands to all the command line arguments, so the $text field, with all its spaces, gets passed correctly.  Sorry I showed you the example in bash/linux rather than in Windows, but I don't know Windows real well - you're better off translating into it yourself than my untested attempts.  The one thing I can tell you is that the "Execute new" command must include the "background fork".  In Linux this is provided by the & at the end of the line. In windows you'll need to use

Execute new = start "dummy" /min mass_post.bat

to background the process.  This is ESSENTIAL.  Without backgrounding the batch file, the elogd server will go into an infinite loop.  The parent process will wait for the child process to exit before continuing.  elogd is single-threaded, so the child process cannot start until the parent process has completed its current task (which is waiting for the child process to exit). 

You may need to tweak the above a little if you want to pass variable attributes to the script instead of defining them all in the script itself.

 

  66257   Thu Mar 19 02:50:16 2009 Cool Erik Iversoneiverson@ornl.govQuestionAll2.7.4"Full" view formatting
I have a logbook I use to capture machine settings. There are many (~30) different attributes defined. I've defined the "Summary" view via "List display" in such a way that not all the attributes are displayed in the summary list, because there's no practical way to fit the 30 different attributes in 30 rows across the screen, and there's no need to have every attribute shown in the summary view. I would like to define something for the "Full" view that lets me put one (or more, but not all) attributes per line; much like the single-entry view does now, just with multiple entries. So a "Full" listing would look like

ID: 1
Attribute1: Value1
Attribute2: Value2
Attribute3: Value3
Text...

ID: 2
Attribute1: Value1
Attribute2: Value2
Attribute3: Value3
Text...

rather than
ID Attribute1 Attribute2 Attribute3
1 Value1 Value2 Value3
Text...
2 Value1 Value2 Value3
Text...
etc.

Any suggestions?

Thanks as always for a wonderful piece of software!
