Oops - amazing when I read the syntax correctly -- it works! Thanks for taking the time to reply to a "dumb, RTFD" question, Stefan. Thank you for making a great program!

 | Johan Nyberg | johan.nyberg@tsl.uu.se | Question | Linux | 2.6.0 | How to connect to an ELOG server running behind apache+ssl using the elog command line program? |
Hi,
I need to post a large number of "old" messages to one of my logbooks and I am trying to modify the script doelog (see http://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Contributions/10) to suit my needs. I am using apache + ssl for secure logins to my ELOG server. The doelog script uses the elog utility program, which is useful for posting ELOG messages from scripts or from the command line. My problem is that I cannot talk to my ELOG server with elog.
Here is what happens:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
$ elog -v -h my.server.org -p 443 -l mylogbook -a Category=Other-u myusername mypasswd testmsg
Successfully connected to host my.server.org, port 443
Request sent to host:
POST /mylogbook/ HTTP/1.0

Access to the logbook works perfectly if I use a web browser. If I can find out how to use the elog command line program to connect to my ELOG server running behind apache+ssl, I think I can change the doelog script to suit my needs. Any help is appreciated.

This is because elog does not support "https" through secure socket layers (SSL). Also elogd does not, that's why you use Apache as your proxy. So the only way for you to use elog is to execute it on the server, where it can directly connect to elogd without going through the ssl layer of Apache. |

Hi Stefan,
Thanks for your advice. As you say I can add entries using elog to my logbooks if I do it from the server on which elogd runs, in which case ssl and apache are bypassed:
$ elog -h localhost -p 8080 ...
Thanks once again for your excellent software!

| Elaine Cristina Franchini dos Anjos | elaine@ccuec.unicamp.br | Question | Linux | 2.6.0 | Problems with ELOG and Internet Explorer |
Hi,
We are facing a problem when using the Internet Explorer browser to edit
logbooks entries. The error occurs when we use the preview option.
After this, the connection becomes slow to display the preview and returns
"Server Not Found - Page cannot be displayed" or "Internal Server error" as result.
If we try to turn back to the edit page the browser retuns
"This page has been expired".
It happens at any time even we edit simple entries in Internet Explorer,
but never occurs in other browsers.
Software versions that are running :
Elog version 2.6.0-beta
Fedora Core release 1 (Yarrow)
Apache/2.0.54 (Unix) mod_ssl/2.0.54 OpenSSL/0.9.7g
(Elog is running under apache proxy)
Is there any bug report about this or there is something else
that I need to configure ?
Thanks in advance.

I tried on this forum with Internet Explorer 6.0 and could not reproduce the problem, and I never heared anybody else mentioning this problem. Can you reproduce the problem on the forum? |

I couldn't reproduce the problem in this forum too, and I'm using Internet Explorer to edit this entry now... :-D
I did some new tests and at this time I tried to submit new entries using the ELOG default port
without proxy, because I realized that this Forum doesn't use https (maybe uses proxy).
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.
Do you know problems like this ?
Is there anybody else using ELOG under https ?
My proxy configuration :
| Quote: |
1) http (default port 80):
# Redirect to ELOG - Logbook
Redirect permanent /elog https://antares.ccuec.unicamp.br:9696
2) https (I need to use other different port number) :
<VirtualHost 143.106.80.30:9696>
# Here be standard configuration for the Virtual Host
ServerName antares.ccuec.unicamp.br:9696
ServerAdmin suporte@ccuec.unicamp.br
# 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/elog"
# 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.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
# (8081 on our poop deck).
