Using Elog 2.9.2

Elog crashes when making 10 replies, I narrowed the crash down to the Propagate Attributes setting.

I have an attribute "Status" that can be toggled between "Open" and "Closed" and that propagates all replies.  On the 10th reply the application crashed, this is repeatable 100% of the time.  Without the propagate option everything works fine.

Attached is my config file parsed down.

Is there a way around this, or is there a way on reply to change the attribute of the log note you replied to from open to closed without using the propagate option?

Hi Stephen,
I've just checked that elogd can handle "Propagate Attributes" for more than 10 replies without crashing (I've attached my config, you can see if it works for you.)
Therefore it has to be something else in your configuration that causes this behaviour, or a combination of things.
Could you strip off the configuration further, that it contains the minimal content to cause elogd to crash? Or can you use a debugger on your system?
 
Cheers
Andreas

Bad news: I cannot reproduce your problem with the latest elog version 2.9.2 (e7ba466) on scientific linux 6.0

I had to remove some lines in your config, since I don't have your password file.

I'll attach the config file, please have a look if it crashes on your server with the latest elogd version.

 Thanks for the reply, I tried the very basic cfg and the second one you offered.  Running 2.9.2-2475 on a Windows 2008 R2 V.Server, I still crashed on attempt 10 never fail.  Windows detects the failure and gives this message:

Faulting application name: elogd.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x51248707

Faulting module name: elogd.exe, version: 0.0.0.0, time stamp: 0x51248707

Exception code: 0xc00000fd

Fault offset: 0x00065127

Faulting process id: 0x340

Faulting application start time: 0x01ceefa87fea0aea

Faulting application path: D:\ELOG\elogd.exe

Faulting module path: D:\ELOG\elogd.exe

Report Id: ceccc3da-5b9b-11e3-80f1-5ac95c924b0b

It only happens when propagate is on, I have to be missing some security setting in Windows maybe?  Don't know if that helped at all, but I'm out of ideas.

Can you compile elog? Then I would suggest that you download the latest version from GIT an recompile it. You'll find help for that here: https://midas.psi.ch/elog/download.html
I have no experience with compilation on Windows (I try not to touch it, and if I have to I use a long stick ;-)

 I have been able to compile Elogd successfully in Windows with Visual Studio 2010 but not with Elog.  Attached are errors, it complaint about buffer[i] type char * being assigned type void *.  If anyone has been successful compile the elog, please give me a hint.  Thanks.

Just put (char *) in front of all malloc(). I will include the fix in the next official version.

You don't need "elog" to run the logbook, the executable "elog" is only needed to create entries without the web interface. Stefan should adapt "elog.c" some day to be compatible with the default switches of modern, paranoid compilers; but for the moment you can ignore this.

If you use the newly created "elogd", does that reproduce the former problem?

 I don't see it has crashed when testing your cfg.  However, one thing I must do is to comment out the alarm_handler function in order to compile the elogd successfully.  Otherwise, it shows an undefined alarm, see in the 2nd attachment.  Although it did not crash as tested with your cfg, I have experienced the new version sometimes crashed on our system but then it self restarted (different scenario since my cfg does not use Propagate.  I have not been able to narrow down yet.
