  69367   Mon May 31 14:51:39 2021 Question Maximmaxsimuus69@gmail.comQuestionWindows3.1.4-3Problem with a self-compiled code.

Dear, sir! There is a problem with a configuration file.

The code was compiled by Cygwin (gcc-core, gcc-g++, make, gdb, libssl-dev).  After a compilation a reference to our own css-file was written in configuration file and css-file was included in a folder “themes/default” of the project.

The problem is that in running elog-3.1.4-1 (and upper versions) css-file name in a code of a page has some random symbols before file-name, for example: <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="ø9öÿeLogOUK.css">. It was found that the problem is resolved if a string “Password file=passwd” is deleted, but in this case it is impossible to set passwords to the users.

Here is an example of configuration file which is taken from the forum and just one string (CSS=elogOUK.css) has added to the code

 

[global]

 

; port under which server is listening

Port = 8080

 

CSS = eLogOUK.css

 

[Accelerator]

Comment = Accelerator Logbook

 

; use user level password access

Password file = passwd

Login expiration = 1000

Admin user = ritt

Self register = 1

 

; look and feel

Guest menu commands = Back, Find, Login, Help

Guest find menu commands = Find, Login, Help

Date format = %B %d, %Y

 

; attributes

Attributes = Author, Author Email, Category, Subject

Options Category = Routine entry, Shift summary, Problem, Fix, Question, Info, Other

Extendable attributes = Category

Required Attributes = Category, Subject

Thread display = $Subject, entered by $author on $Entry date

Quick filter = Date, Category

 

; title as shown in the browser

Page Title = Accelerator Logbook - $subject

 

; preset author and email

Preset Author = $long_name

Preset Author Email = $user_email

 

; these attributes cannot be changed

Locked Attributes = Author, Author Email

 

; only author can change its own entry

Restrict edit = 1

 

; options for reply

Subst on reply subject = Re: $Configuration Name

Remove on reply = Author, Author Email

 

; No Email notification

Suppress Email to users = 1

Hi Stefan,

I had started to write a completely different bug report, but then realised I had not checked a detail.  I had written about one sentence.  So I decided to abort the message, and hit the "back" button.  Only I found that this had created a new entry in the elog listings.  I immediately went in and deleted it, but I had expected the "Back" button to have aborted the entry (as it does in 2.9.x) not to submit the entry!

It doesn't seem to have created an email, though.  And for the sake of all your users, I'd not want to experiment here on the matter too much!

  1661   Wed Feb 8 07:31:09 2006 Question Ulrich Trüsselulrich.truessel@familienhund.chQuestionWindows2.6.1-1Problem with MOptions
After upgrading to 2.6.1-1 (actually donwgraded in case of this problem to 2.6.0) i was not longer able to selct more than one MOptions selection in my ELOGs. Only the first slected selection was acepted by ELOG. Ex:

MOptions Test = Aa, Bb, Cc, Dd, Ee, Ff, Gg

Selecting: Bb, Cc, Gg

Submitting the entry form, autoreturn to the overview of the even made entry, only Bb was taken.

Any Idea what's happen? Did I miss something changing in 2.6.1-1 or may this be a bug? Thanks for ideas?

Would loke to upgreade to 2.6.1. in case of the new forms for long MOptions, but need to selct more than one!

Sorry to bother you with this, but I am not a programmer and this is probably a simple question but I need some help if someone has the time.

Under Global I have the command   -  SMTP host  = smtp.comcast.net

ELOG responds with  -  Error sending Email via "smtp.comcast.net": 5.1.0 sender rejected : invalid sender domain

  66660   Wed Jan 6 22:17:49 2010 Question Aaron Coutureacouture@lanl.govBug reportLinuxrev2280Problem with CRYPT+SSL and elog command line entries

I am in the process of setting up a new ELOG logbook.  I checked out rev2280 from svn.savannah.psi.ch.  I knew I wanted to encrypt passwords, so when I compiled, I used flags

 

USE_SSL=1

and

USE_CRYPT=1

 

I am running Red Hat enterprise linux 3, glibc-devel-2.3.2-95.50, openssl-devel-0.9.7a-33.25

Everything seemed to be working fine--I was able to set up logbooks using both a password file as well as write passwords and make entries to the logs.  Then I tried to use the command line 'elog' to make an entry which failed to both logbooks.

 

/opt/elog/pro/elogd -c /opt/elog/pro/dansce_fancy.cfg -l Demo1 -w <mypassword>

Would change the password in dansce_fancy.cfg and I could make entries through the web interface, but

 

elog -h acouture -s -p 8081 -w <mypassword> -l Demo1 -a Author="Aaron Couture" -a Type=Routine  -m Sampleinfo.txt -x -n 1

failed with

Error: Invalid user name or password

I got the same behaviour when I used a logbook with a user/password pair defined in a password file.

 

When I looked at the output from running elogd with the -v flag, I could see that everything was being received on the server side, but that the password did not agree with the write password in dansce_fancy.cfg

I then recompiled elog with

USE_SSL=1

USE_CRYPT=

And then the elog command line entries worked, both with write passwords and a password file (after recreating the password file and the write password).  Looking at the elog.c source code, it appears that it does not know to use crypt rather then base64_encode when USE_CRYPT is true.  elogd.c defined different behaviour if USE_CRYPT is defined.

 

Thanks,

 

Aaron Couture

  66711   Wed Feb 17 17:02:38 2010 Question soren poulsensoren.poulsen@cern.chBug reportLinux2.7.8-2282Problem using attribute type

Hi,

This little logbook has a problem:

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

Attributes = Author, Category, Type, Subject, Number

Type Number = numeric

Options Category = General{1}
{1} Options Type = Routine

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

(it was of course more complicated to start with).

When creating a new entry and selecting the Category option, there is a problem with the JavaScript which will populate the Type option.

To avoid the problem, I just comment out the line "Type Number ... "

 

Is this a bug ?

Thanks for your time

Soren

 

(P.S. Using a reserved name as an attribute name is maybe not optimal, but it does not seem to be the  problem).
