 | Dawang | raymund.dawang@gmail.com | Question | Windows | Latest | Re: How to configure SMTP server in Windows using gmail | Hi Stefan,
I remeber when I used elog email notif feature in my previous workplace which is running in windows, I just put IP address on SMTP host = X.X.X.X at the config file and it run without any problem. I'm thinking they are using SMTP server. Can you please recommend any SMTP server and SMTP relayer site that I can use to be able to successfully send my email notification. I tried SendGrid SMTP cloud server but i have hard time and still failing. you might recommend SMTP server that you are using now in your elog site. Thank you so much.

I believe there is a stunnel port for Windows, but that's more for the experienced users. I guess there is no simple solution.

Thanks Stefan,
I checked in my ELOG folder and can't find the stunnel.cfg. Is that only available in Linux? Can you please recommend a third party SMTP server for me use to successfully enable mail notif via Windows OS. Thanks much
Cheers,
Raymund

Elog does not directly support TLS encryption. See here for a wrokaround: elog:68039

 | Dawang | raymund.dawang@gmail.com | Request | Windows | Latest | Sample of actual elog Config with URL in SSL | HI Guys,
Can you please give me an idea how will I write in the config. I want my elog will be accessed via internet. Though there's a tutorial / guideline, I need an actual config file for me to easily grasp how the URL = xxx should be write. Do my port should be Port = 433 and SSL=1?
Thanks,
Raymund |

 | Dawang | raymund.dawang@gmail.com | Question | Windows | Latest | Can I host elog in the web under windows platform without Apache Web Server? | Hi All,
Can I host elog in the web (internet) under windows platform (elogd.exe only) without Apache Web Server? If possible, what syntax should I add in the configuration file? Appreciate feedback. Thanks.
Cheers,

| Dawang | raymund.dawang@gmail.com | Question | Windows | Latest | Re: Can I host elog in the web under windows platform without Apache Web Server? | Thanks Andreas and Stefan,
Since I'm not good in setting up webserver, do you know a web hosting company that can I use to integrate elog so that i can access my elog publicly same as you are using here? Thanks.
BR,
Raymund

I admit that I'm not sure if I understood the question. It is quite some work to do the opposite, to run elog behind an Apache Web Server.
But if you just install ELOG out of the box it will always run without an Apache Web Server. You don't need to add anything in the config file for that.

| Davide Salomoni | dsalomoni@gmail.com | Question | Linux | | Grabbing user name from SSL user certificate | With SSL enabled, I'd like to to grab the CN (Common Name) of the user certificate and use that as login authentication method.
I am thinking of the following scenario:
- users with read & write privileges need to have an SSL certificate loaded in their browser. The "Author" field will be pre-set to the CN of the user certificate.
- authorization may be subject to further granularity (e.g. only allow users whose certificate belongs to a certain organization)
- read-only, guest access (without certificate) may or may not be allowed
Is there a way to do that? |

| David Wallis | wallis@aps.anl.gov | Question | Linux | 2.9.2 | Elogd hangs while uploading bmp attachment | I'm running elog 2.9.2 on a Red Hat 6.3 server. This installation has been running for some time on a Solaris server, and was recently moved to the RHEL server.
When a user tries to upload a .bmp attachment, the upload never completes, eventually timing out with a proxy error. At that point, the elogd process stops responding to requests and needs to be restarted. Nothing is in the log file other than a "Listening" message when elogd starts up. Png and pdf attachments seem to work fine. I was able to convert an image from .bmp to .png and upload, but that's not practical for my user.
ImageMagick 6.5.4-7 is installed on the server. Everything else seems to be working normally.
Is this a known problem, or have I missed something that needs to be installed on the RHEL server? |

When I saw this problem come in, I was reminded of problems I have of elog crashing. So I tried attaching a .bmp file to an entry. In my case it did not crash, but it did not run ImageMagick either - it just gave a link as it it were a zip or tar file - that is to say no .png image had been generated and shown. As I've never attached a .bmp file before, I don't know whether elog allows for them to be processed and a thumbnail made, a quick look in the documentation didn't enlighten me, but then I didn't look for that long either. (I'm running 2.9.2 svn 2475, under Slackware 13 which is a version post some image processing issues I reported to Stefan - might that explain why in my case?).
I have found that sometimes elog will crash, but effectively after it has done the action - so if it crashes when asked to move files from one logbook to another, you find the entries have been moved. In my case, I believe the crashes are due to memory issues, nothing I can state for certain.
It would possibly help Stefan and Andreas if you can tell whether the .bmp file appears in the relivent logbook directory (usually a subdirectory of ....../logbooks) - it will have been renamed as yymmdd_hhmmss_{filename}.bmp - except, of course, the date and time will be showing not these symbols - and if the entry with which you have tried to attach this .bmp file been written - using a text viewer on the file yymmdda.log (obviously the day will be today, i.e. the one just updated as you tried the entry. I have come across orphan attachment files in directories in my time, possibly from when elog crashed part way through an action.
(If I am stating the obvious, apologies, I don't know your level of experience with elog or linux, so trying to cover all possible levels)
|
Thanks for the info, David.
I do not see any *.bmp files in the logbook directory when this happens. The hang happens when the "Upload" button is hit, so there is no logbook entry yet either. |

Hi David,
Which svn version of elog are you running - what does it say at the very bottom of the page (this forum says ELOG V2.9.0-2435); there *is* and issue about loading files and thumbnails with svn 2473, but it may also be in one or two prior to that (I found it with 2473, anyway). Also, is elog running (taking CPU time) and not responding to anything after you try this (and you have to kill the daemon and restart), or crashing out at that point? I've had both behaviours at one time or another, for reasons I now understand, not related (I think) to this one, but the more evidence, the better chance that someone will find the problem.
David.

I'm running ELOG V2.9.2-2455.
The elogd process continues to run, but no longer responds to requests.If, for example, I open a new browser tab and try to load the logbook, I eventually get a timeout. There is no ImageMagick "convert" process running. |
