Recai Oktas replied to me and let me know that I needed to use dpkg to create the 
new Debian package instead of manually compiling it. I reverted to the original 
Debian package to get everything running normally again, but I haven't had a 
chance to try the upgrade again. As soon as I went back to the original elogd 
everything worked fine (no changes to the elog.cfg required). I'm assuming that 
the problem came from attempting to recompile a Debian package install manually. 
Sorry for the bug scare!

icon5.gif   Problem with space in name of eLog not seeing %20 and "+", posted by Tom C on Tue Nov 26 00:06:02 2013 

My elog is named "Whatever Elog" so the URL generated is /Whatever+Elog . This works fine but when in the interface certain buttons generate this URL : /Whatever%20Elog  ...this URL fails.  It seems that elog does not recognize these ( + and %20 ) as the same which I believe they should be as part of HTTP request.

icon5.gif   New entry cannot be written to directory "/usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo/", posted by Tapasi Ghosh on Mon Feb 8 13:52:33 2016 image.png

Dear All,

I could not submit a new enetry to my logbook whenever restarting my laptop.  I am a new user to elog.

Attached is the screenshot of the error message and also there is "nobody" while I grep elog.

Thanks for your reply.

I am the user and  it also has the write access 

cd /usr/local/elog/

ls -ltr

drwxrwxrwx  6 tapasi  admin  204 Jan  7 18:26 demo

You should check if the directory /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo belongs to the right user and has the right write permissions.

Since the elogd process belongs to the user "nobody", the directory should best belong to "nobody" as well (or - not recommended - allows write access for "others")

Cheers, Andreas

Sorry, it was my mistake while copying  from terminal to the email .  There is no "demo" directory under /usr/local/lib.

Tapasis-MacBook-Pro:elog tapasi$ cd  /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo

Tapasis-MacBook-Pro:demo tapasi$ ls -ltr

total 0

drwxr-xr-x   3 tapasi  admin   102 Sep 22 11:00 2001

drwxr-xr-x  55 503     admin  1870 Dec 17 13:21 2015

drwxr-xr-x   2 tapasi  admin    68 Jan  7 14:54 2016

 

So, how can I change the user from "nobody" to my name, so that elogd runs in my user name ?

Thanks

The process elogd runs as the user "nobody". This user obviously cannot write to /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo.

But apparently you've created the wrong directory anyway: you've listed /usr/local/elog/demo, but ELOG looks for /usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo.

Thank you

Can you give me some more information? Can you see attachments in the Demo Logbook like here ? What about other browsers? Can you try to start elogd without keep-alives (using the "-k" flag)?

 

 Hi. I have a same problem... It works well with other browsers, like firefox and internet explorer, but not with safari (with and without keep-alives). 

The demo logbook in the link works fine with safari, though. 

Thanks.

icon5.gif   default Status descending, posted by Terry Shuck on Tue Dec 1 14:20:04 2009 

Is there a way to configure ELOG to default to the Status column in descending order rather than the Date in descending order?

Thanks

    icon2.gif   Re: default Status descending, posted by Terry Shuck on Tue Dec 1 15:11:19 2009 

Thanks for the quick response. This works. I noticed that the Dates aren't descending, is there a way to have the dates descending while sorting Status?

Thanks again!

Sort attributes = Status

... as written in the manual.
