Hi,

I have been using ELOG for a while and I love it.  It is a default installation on Debian Lenny and ELOG 2.7.8.  I am having problems with the deamon script, I can stop the service by doing /etc/init.d/elog stop but I can't started.  When I do /etc/init.d/elog start I get this error: "Starting ELOG daemon: elogdCannot open "elogd.cfg": No such file or directory"

Somewhere there is a bad path to the elogd.cfg which is in "/usr/local/elog"

I would appreciate any help I can get.

Thank you.

Here is the scrip:

[code]

#!/bin/sh
# Init script for ELOG.
# Recai Oktas <roktas@omu.edu.tr>

PATH=/sbin:/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/local/bin
DAEMON=/usr/local/sbin/elogd
NAME=elogd
DESC="ELOG daemon"

# Always run as daemon.
ARGS="-D"

# Admin might change some command line options without touching this script.
if [ -f /etc/default/elog ]; then
        . /etc/default/elog
fi

test -f $DAEMON || exit 0

set -e

case "$1" in
        start)
                echo -n "Starting $DESC: $NAME"
                start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile /var/run/$NAME.pid \
                        --exec $DAEMON -- $ARGS >/dev/null
                echo "."
                ;;
        stop)
                echo -n "Stopping $DESC: $NAME"
                start-stop-daemon --oknodo --stop --quiet --pidfile /var/run/$NAME.pid \
                        --exec $DAEMON -- $ARGS >/dev/null
                echo "."
                ;;
        reload)
                # Do nothing since ELOG daemon responds to
                # the changes in conffile directly.
                ;;
        restart|force-reload)
                echo -n "Restarting $DESC: $NAME"
                start-stop-daemon --stop --quiet --pidfile \
                        /var/run/$NAME.pid --exec $DAEMON -- $ARGS >/dev/null
                sleep 1
                start-stop-daemon --start --quiet --pidfile \
                        /var/run/$NAME.pid --exec $DAEMON -- $ARGS >/dev/null
                echo "."
                ;;
        *)
                N=/etc/init.d/$NAME
                echo "Usage: $N {start|stop|restart|reload|force-reload}" >&2
                exit 1
                ;;
esac

exit 0

Hello Stefan,

If I would like to change the design of the attached part of the discussion board like:

deleting OS: (including blue box) Linux Windows Mac OSX  All  Other (including green box)

Where and how could I do this?

Thank you

Is it possible to use a drop-in replacement for the FCKeditor? 

Hi,

I have just discovered elog and I absolutely love it.

I have a question. Is there a way to enable user to view only, not post/delete in my elog. Also I would like to allow them to view only certain categories of my messages.

Regards,

Denis

Hi

I am trying to use this line from the documentation:

Execute new = echo "New message wiht ID $message id of type $type from $long_name on $remote_host" >> /tmp/elog.log

It does not seem to have the intended effect (of printing a line with the message id, etc in the file /tmp/elog.log
)

How can I make this line work ?

We have been hosting logbook far (geographically and in internet hops) from our experimental site. Recently we have (finally!) gotten reliable on-site internet, and would like to host the log book on-site.

I have a suspicion that some combination of the -C, -m, and -M flags will allow me to migrate the logbook automagically and with a minimum risk of trouble from concurrent operation on the logbook, and to maintain the existing version as a mirror of the new official on-site version. But documentation is not being very helpful. Can someone say a few more words about what these options do?

I've been experimenting as I compose this and have a suggestion for language that might be useful somewhere in the documentation:

In this context "to clone" means to copy the configuration file and all data files associated with a log book so that I can host an identical logbook on a new host (that is this is the command to migrate a logbook).  After cloning the two installation are identical, but no effort is made to keep them so: if you continue to run both copies post made to one will not be reflected in the other.

Is this correct?

I'm still not clear on what the -m and -M options do.

I wondered if there was a config line that enabled/disabled the forward and backward navigation keystrokes that were implemented in 2.7.0?

The current definitions (Control-PgUp/PgDown/Home/End) interfere with those keys I use to navigate between tabs in Firefox.  It'd be nice if they could either be turned off.. or redefined.
