But i found a bug or something like that. I installed elog on win2003 and winxp with default settings. And everywhere i had same problem - when forgot password is used it kills elogd. Error what is reported in EventLog is "Faulting application elogd.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module elogd.exe, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x0002f1ee." and thats all. For testing tried newest beta too but it seems to have same problem.
i can insert my email address and when i click submit it wait's for some time and then gives 404.
But tried under linux (gentoo) and everything works like charm.


I tried with the current version under XP and found no problem. Can you try 2.6.0-beta4?

I have several logbooks with Comment lines,
but the tooltip shows sometimes the correct comment,
sometimes the comment from other logbook...

I see the same behaviour also on this very page...

I use Mozilla 1.7.10.
Tried with Konqueror -> same problem.


Should be fixed in the current CVS version (see this page)

We are having trouble on our logbook with posts appearing twice. Both posts contain the same ID number, time, etc. This most often occurs when the e-log entry is being written for an extended period of time (ie. more than 30 minutes), but I don't know if that is the root cause of the problem. It may also be related to posts that are edited after an initial posting. Could this be due to an improper setting in our config file?

Besides the trivial case that people hit the submit button twice I can only imagine one possible cause: If you edit an existing entry, there is a button Resubmit as new entry at the bottom. If that button is checked, the old entry gets deleted and a new one gets submitted. If the delete of the old entry fails for some reason, you could maybe get two entries.

May I suggest following: Use a very simple config file (like the demo one from the distribution) and see if you can reproduce the problem. If not, add you config options one by one to the config file, and see at which option the problem starts. This way you might find the cause of it.

Your problem has not been reported by anybody else so far, so chances are high that it's related to a config setting.

I usually access hosts in LAN with their IPs. But elogd seems to prefer hostnames to IPs. I cannot ask each one to add the hostname to their system config file while they visit my host. I encounter several problems which seems to be related to the hostname resolution:
  • I can visit remote elog service through IP and port, but cannot submit entry and cannot open the config page remotely. For example, my powerbook's name is "exaos-pb-12" and its IP is 10.10.2.96. I run elogd on my PB and try to access it through URL http://10.10.2.96:8080/ on host 10.10.2.99. While I submit a new entry or open the config page, my firefox alway blames: "exaos-pb-12.local could not be found. Please check the name and try again."
  • Sometimes, all the images, colors are missing. It looks like that my firefox cannot find the correct URL of these images or CSS files. It might be the same problem of "cannot find hostname".

In such a situation you describe it might help to use

URL = http://10.10.2.96:8080/

in the configuration file. This way elogd uses also IP numbers for redirection. Please let me know if that works.

Yes, the "URL" works. Thanks!
