Since elog 2.6.0 we cannot redirect our elog via apache2.

in apache2.conf we have (had for a long time):
Redirect permanent /elog http://elog.oursite.com/elog/
ProxyPass /elog/ http://elog.oursite.com:8080/

When visiting the url, this results in:
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /elog/myelog/.

After testing we found that ELOG V2.6.0-beta2 works just fine.
2.6.0 stable crashes after visiting a redirected url.

Running on debian sarge

Yes, I tried that. Maybe I'll have some other try on other PCs and investigate further, I'll surely let you know. Thanks
for the prompt response and compliments for your very good work! ELog is really a great piece of software.

Users can access root level directories by using a modified URL. I saw on some security web sites that this was a problem in previous versions. Was it not fixed in 2.6?

To recreate enter http://yourhost.yourdomain.com/../../../../etc/passwd

view your password file in the browser.

If this was previously reported, is there a fix?

Thanks for telling me, I didn't know. I was able to reproduce your problem under certain conditions, and I just released version 2.6.1 to fix it. However it has nothing to do with an old buffer overflow (see elog:941).

I would strongly advise everybody to upgrade as soon as possible.


Thanks for the quick response!

Japp. I switched back to relative links for CSS again, seems to give less trouble. Pleased

The URL is fixed at whichever logbook that is selected (e.g. ELOG 2.5.9-4 is <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="default.css"> & ELOG 2.6.0-1 is <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://localhost:8080/demo/default.css">).


So what is your problem? Can't you access http://localhost:8080/demo/default.css ?

If so, you could use an
URL = http://{your host}:8080/

option in your config file, where you replace {your host} with your real host name.


No, because they would have to be in every logbook instead of coming out of the theme directory.

That button works as follows: When you are active browsing entries, your activity is recorded (only the time) in the password file. Now when you are inactive for more than one hour, you are considered "logged out", and your last activity is taken as a filter for new entries. That means you see new entries since your last activity in the logbook. If you want to see the last day/week/month etc. you can define a quick filter on the date instead.

I tried to reproduce your problem, but could not. In my windows installation it looks fine. You only see the
(save and cancel) buttons only if you go to "Change [global]", otherwise you see the "Change [global]", "Delete
this logbook" etc. buttons. Have you tried with the default elogd.cfg which comes from the distribution?
