  1565   Thu Dec 22 14:32:00 2005 Question Mikemlmoore@pella.comQuestion 2.6.0Maximum number of LogBooks? Bug?
Is there a Maximum number logbooks?

I have run into a problem but I'm not sure if to call it a Bug or not. We have started using Elog to keep a work log for each of our production servers. After a short trial I put generated a config file using groups for all of our servers which is 294 logbooks. Almost every thing works except the config screen. You get a list of all the logbooks with the checkboxes for the email notifications. If you click save (Doesn't make a difference if you make changes or not) you get the following.

Error: Too many parameters (> 120). Cannot perform operation.

I was able to recompile using cygwin under windows after changing MAX_PARAM from 120 to 400. That fixes the problem, but eventually you get a stack overflow.

Any suggestions? I have considered separate instances running 100 logbooks each but I would like to have a global search.

Thanks for a Great tool. I've been using it as a personal log for sometime and was finally able to convince my team we sould use it.

I usually keep http://midas.psi.ch/elog/config.html up-to-date, but I agree that it's a bit hard to find the additions there, that's why there is the change log Wink

The ELCode is described on a separate page, which can also be accessed by clicking on the ELCode link below the text box of the logbook entry page.

Right now I'm using VS.Net 2003, but you should be able to compile it with 6.0, except that you have to redo the project file, which might not be backwards compatible. An alternative is to use gcc under cygwin, which is a free alternative for windows.

To my knowledge you need a VirtualHost entry, plus a "URL = http://exo-elog.stanford.edu" entry in elogd.cfg

Bertram Metz wrote:
The duplicate command duplicates the entry text itself, but it does not duplicate attachments. If attachments in a duplicated entry are deleted, the original attachment files are deleted as well and cannot be accessed anymore within the original entry.

My suggestion is to copy the attached files too and to use file names of the copies in the duplicated entry.


I chaned it such that attachments are removed from the duplicated entry, which was easier to implement. I hope this is ok as well. The change is in SVN revision 1584.

Do you have 2.6.0-bata5 for linux as setup for RPM install. I was able to locate the version for windows but not for linux.
Thanks for your help.


There is a 2.6.0 out by now.
