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.

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

Have you tried 2.6.1. I released it just recently, so I don't know when it will be available for Debian. Have you
checked that your "URL = xxx" statement in the config file is correct? I see above "myelog", while the proxy
passes requests to "elog".

No it doesn't work with 2.6.1. I hoped it would be fixed, but I should have reported it sooner.
I compiled 2.6.1 myself.
The original version was a debian package, after that, we compile elog ourselves and copy elogd manually over the old
version. Just to stay up-to-date.

I changed our urls, just to be safe.
myelog is a 'sublogbook', like forum here. http://elog.oursite.com/elog/myelog

We are running V2.6.0-beta2 and it runs fine, without any alterations to our config files.
All previous versions runned fine too.

update:
After further testing on a different server, it seems to be an issue with the proxy and the proxy_http modules in sarge.
after loading and unloading  proxy_http this is the error:
The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.

Here I am again... I built and installed v2.6.1 also on a different system, this time on linux; i tried both with the
existing cfg file and with the new cfg.
Choosing "configuration", I still only see the current logbook configuration file section with "Save" and "cancel"
buttons, no access to global config whatsoever; the same as I saw on windows version. I tried version 2.6.1-1622.

I tried again, using the configuration file from the distribution (elog:1627/1). Hitting "config", I see the picture
attached (elog:1627/2). So it's a mystery why it is different in your case...

Indeed... I peeked into the code, and I got the feeling it could be a matter of incorrect user setup (though I have no
users/authorizations defined at all) or maybe browser cookies. A thin trail, but I'll try some debug directly on the
code and, should I come up with something, I'll surely notice you.
Thanks for your support!
