  1501   Fri Nov 4 16:51:32 2005 Question Elaine Cristina Franchini dos Anjoselaine@ccuec.unicamp.brQuestionLinux2.6.0Problems 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.

Elaine

The following ELOG behavior seems to be like a bug ...

-> Anybody click on "Forgot password?" in the login screen, to have the system
send him the forgotten password, and after a little while trying, (possibly doing
resolution) the ELOG application crashes.

The ELOG service have to registered again.

The SMPT host may not be right, but ELOG should not crash just for that.

It should says something like "Can not find SMTP server", etc.

Have anybody got into this problem?, or
What else could be causing this behavior?

I have installed the new version, and it works just fine. It is also MUCH faster than my intermediate solution.

For the moment, I could satisfy the users by setting the start page to the "All" view


Thanks for the work!

Thank you! I have tested it and it works just as expected!

I have also found one possible problem, maybe it's already solved in the
newest version: We have set up the elog under an stunnel, but the elog
server also responds to the original port (i.e. 80), displaying the logbook
selection page and from there even the login screen. Only after logging in
the elog server redirects the client browser to the https-page defined with
the URL-statement of the config file. The whole thing seems like an unwanted
behaviour, but could you change it so that it either doesn't respond on the
wrong URL at all, or at least redirects to the secured URL before presenting
the login window, so that we transfer the passwords encrypted?


I implemented that in revision 1540. On the logbook selection page, the links to the individual logbooks honor the "URL = ..." statement from the config file, and thus you get redirected via "https://...". More is unfortunately not possible. If elogd gets contacted the first time, it is impossible to figure out by elogd under which URL it got contacted, and therefore it cannot distinguish between secure and insecure connections. The only way is to switch off port 80 by a firewall and only allow "https://..." connections from outside.

Ok, I implemented the last page display per default in revision 1538. If "reverse sort = 0" the last page is shown and if "reverse sort = 1" the first page is shown by default. This way one always sees the page with the latest entries. I hope this accomodates everybody. If not, please complain and I could make it a switch (yet another option Crying ).

What about
Start page = last10


In principle this would be a good starting point, however, we would like to use the "Previous" and "Next" page selectors to browse (and these don't appear when using the "lastNN" statement for the start page).

We would like to see the entries in normal order, but the last of the pages as "start page". Is it possible to configure this?


What about

Start page = last10

This shows always the last 10 entries. If you want to see more, you can click on the new menu entry "Last 20 entries" etc.
