So as promised, I add some more information. 

Unfortunately changing the port where the server is listening did not make any change. The situation is still the same. If I try directly from the server, I get a warning about the fake certificate and if I do it from elsewhere, I get the error that the server is not running SSL. 

I had a look at the source code of elog.c and found the point where the error is produced. in order to produce this message, the ssl_connect should be returning -1 and this is only possible in two cases: 

   if (SSL_connect(*ssl_con) <= 0)
      return -1;
   
   cert = SSL_get_peer_certificate(*ssl_con);
   if (cert == NULL)
      return -1;

So, in the first case, it means that the SSL connection failed completly. In the second case, the peer certificate is invalid. 

Is it possible to discriminate between the two, for example changing the return value? Unfortunately I don't have a windows computer with development tools. So it would be great if you could prepare an executable for me with this small change. 

Thanks in advance for your help,

cheers,

Dear all, 

I would need your help with an incremental index with date information.

I want to have an incremental number made by the last two digits of the year, the two digits of the month and an incremental four digits number. 

Subst Number = %y%m####

The problem is that I don't want to have the incremental number reset to zero every new month, but rather only once a year. Is it something like this possible? 

Thanks for your help!

Dear all, 

I have a question for you. On my elog server I have plenty of images not included in any logbook entry, but that nevertheless I would the user to have access to that via the browser. In order words, I would like to have a link like this https://myelog/my_pics_folder/my_pic.png

I have realized that if I put my_pics_folder in the script folder, then it works as I wanted, but I strongly doubt this is the right position. If I put in the resources folder, it is not found and the elogd displays a message saying that my_pics_folder is not a valid logbook.

Do you have any suggestions for this problem? 

 

Thanks in advance and enjoy your day!

  69571   Wed Oct 19 14:19:39 2022 Question Antonio Bulgheroniantonio.bulgheroni@gmail.comBug reportWindows3.1.4Duplicating attachments when editing an entry via command line elog.exe

Hi there! 

I have noticed this effect when editing entries with the command line elog.exe.

Let's say I submit a new entry via the command line and I'm also submitting an attachment file. If I check the elog entry via the browser I see my entry there with its attachment as expected. The attachment is also present on the server in the logbook folder with the date and time stamp in front of the original name. 

Now, let's say I would like to edit the same entry via the command line, if I don't pass the attachment, the edited entry won't show any attachment in the browser but on the server there is still the old attachment file available. 

A similar situation is when I edit an entry and I want the edited entry to have the same attachment file of the original one. In that case, the entry on the browser will show the attachment, but on the server I have two copies of the attachment file with the two timestamps (original submission and edited submission). Moreover the first copy is unreachable from any client because not linked to any entry anymore.

In general I would not care much, but I have an application that is regularly updating entries and I will soon have the server hard disk full of useless copies of unlinked attachment. 

I have seen that when deleting an entry, also all its attachments are removed. Would it be possible to have attachments removed when editing an entries? 

Thanks for your help! 

Cheers,

toto

I'm running ELOG on a windows server 2016. Just installed the windows installer and worked out of the box. 

Have you checked the firewall?

So there is no way to save the file on the network?! :(

Can i install the elog on a windows server? i tried it yesterday, but i think i missed something, couse i only could open the elog on the server and not with a client pc.

UNCs are not officially supported by elog, but your operating system might map them if you're lucky, just try. It is however not recommended to do so, since network drives can sometimes be slow during network congestion and the response of elog will then suffer.

+1 for a Windows pipeline!

Many thanks for your files and instructions. I integrated this into the official elog pipeline, so now the RPMs can be downloaded from https://elog.psi.ch/elog/download.html and they will be updated automatically after each commit. If you succeed with any Debian/Ubunto I'm happy to add that. What's missing now is an easy way to compile for Windows (which I don't have anymore).

Hi Stefan,

Nice to have up to date RPMs.

For .DEB, I contact the Ubuntu maintainer for its build script, and cool, he replied that he's searching for it. That's could help me to generate the deb more rapidly...

For Windows target, It's supported in Bitbucket but only with private agent :-(

So I tried to build using docker hub MSVC image (abrarov/msvc-2019) but pipeline fails to retrieve the image. Maybe I need to swipe on alternative images, or these images with MS software are unaccepted from Atlassian...

Also, I tried to crosscompiling ELOG Win32 from Linux with g++-mingw-w64-x86-64, but Makefile/sources need to be patched to manage this 'platform'... For the moment, it fails. :-(

Next solution : use Wine in Debian image to build Elog with mingwin as I know that it works (under Windows :-)). Will be tested after all...
