  67155   Fri Dec 16 18:28:58 2011 Question Hung Daohungtdao@yahoo.comQuestionWindows2.9Build with Visual Studio 2010?

First I have tried to checkout the source code and got an error shown in below.  So, I clicked on the Web Access link to download the trunk.tar.gz.  I have opened elogd.sln in Visual Studio 2010.  Despite of downloading openssl and and installing krb5, I still received errors related to header files that could not be opened or found.  Has anyone checked out all files from trunk.tar.gz and built successfully.  Any hint or advise prior to build this elogd solution in VS2010 will be highly appreciated.

  67176   Fri Jan 27 02:26:02 2012 Question Alan Grantagrant@winnipeg.caQuestionWindows2.9.0Return Code

We are using the Elog client from one vlan to insert entries into our Elog system on a different vlan.

Works fine for the most part but we occasionally have network connection issues which prevents some entries from being added, and we don't find out about it until later.

Is there a Return Code associated with the client pgm? Or some suggestion to promptly verify a successful enrty? (We'd queue and resubmit in bulk once running again, if we knew about it.)

Thanks.

Hallo and thanks for a great program.

At my work we have previously been using another program (Rednotebook) for our lab journals, but now we wish to migrate to elog because it is more configurable and because it runs in a browser.

We would off course like to move all of our old log entries with us. Luckily Rednotebook uses a standard module (YAML) for data storage, so I can easily access the data (e.g. with python) and I have already done do, and I have exchanged the native markup with html.

Now I would prefer it if I can make the elog data files directly, in stead of using the elog command, because that makes it possible and easy to revert the change, and also to not have to handle escaping html string before feeding them to elog on the commandline. I have actually already written the program that produces the elog data files, but now I have a few questions:

1) Is there an overall way of validating the datafiles, to make sure elog doesn't choke on them at some point in the future when I try to open one of the old entries. Along the same lines, does elog parse all the files when the demon is started, so if it starts then I'm ok?

2) What exactly are the requirements for the HTML content

2a) Will any valid html do, or are there some speciel requirements (e.g. like   at blank lines)

2b) Does it require a particular version of html, because then I could at least validate it against that doctype beforehand

3) Is there a log from elog where I can see if it encounters something it doesn't like?

I hope the you can answer some of my questions.

Regards Kenneth

  67200   Wed Feb 15 17:17:27 2012 Question Mark Bergmanmark.bergman@uphs.upenn.eduQuestionLinux2.90elog entry in email footer?

On our system, elog sends email to all people associated with an entry. Often, people will respond via email, not through elog. I'm in the process of setting up a handler for the inbound email. However, I'd like to have the outbound mail from eLog include a 'footer' to each message the details where to go to respond.

For example, the footer might read:

To respond to this message, please click the following link:
<http://www.example.com/elog/General/6153>

Any suggestions for how to implement that?
 

  67204   Mon Feb 20 20:33:32 2012 Question Arno TeunisseA.Teeling3@chello.nlQuestionWindows2.9.0Hyperlink in attributes and autoincrement

Hello

Want a hyperlink in one of the attributes like this : http://Someserver/someDir/perl.pl#subject

In this way I should be able to redirect to a certain part of the html that the perl script is generating. When I setup this manually it works. ( typing directly the html link into the attribute )

 
When I put the html link into elog config file it will never show up the correct format : everything after the '#' is translated into the digit 1. ( So you get  http://Someserver/someDir/perl.pl1 . ) 

I tried to escape with \# used quoting " and '. No luck.  Tried to use the &#97; , No luck. 

I've tested with several versions of elog but it seems that it has never worked. 

Allow HTML = 1 dit not work for me.

Has it to do with the autoincrement  ? ( Subst Number = XYZ-##### ) I think so because of the 1 that is returned if i use a http link . When I use the same link  http://Someserver/someDir/perl.pl#subject a second time i'll get back :
http://Someserver/someDir/perl.pl2 . So it seems that the auto increment feature plays a role in this one. 

 

Can this be done in the attributes of elog.? Can I have a # in a hyperlink ?

 

Thanks for your time.

Adam wrote:

Hi All,

Perhaps a trivial question but some issues have arisen accessing my long-running elog with SSL enabled.  I suspect firewalls and browser updates are involved and I do not have the time or experience to diagnose and debug such a potential black-hole of difficulties.  Instead I am looking for a quick fix, and the first step - switching off sll - seems to work.  Now I would like to use redirect so that the elog is running under apache, however this is where I have stumbled; I have passwords so the plan is to eventually secure using apache.  Apache works fine and is running pages on ports 80 and 443, although I seem unable to redirect the elog (port 8080).  Following the instructions on the administrators guide I get:

Forbidden

You don't have permission to access /elog/ on this server.

The page is found at least so my redirect is doing something, and I suspect the solution is trivial, though I'm not too sure where to start.

 

-------------------

 

Also, what is  the best practice for updating one's elog version.  I originally installed using a tarball.

 

 

 

 Still struggling with this issue, if anyone has managed to solve it let me know.   I've done the obvious and checked ownership/ permissions of the elog folders and they are exactly the same as etc/var/www, which is working in apache.

 Hi,

I have Ghostscript 9.05 and ImageMagic 6.7.5 Q16 installed with the last ELOG version in a windows 7 OS. When I try to attach a pdf file and then create thumnails of the file, I am only able to create the first 8 pages instead all document. I have try to change the parameter Thumbnail size  but with any sucess. However, If after create the thumnail I modify manually the size, all thumnails are creaed.

Thank you so much!!

Diego
