If the older elog has some customized file such as logbooks, elogd.cfg, elog.css, images and so on,  What's the best way to update elog to newer release? Is it the only way to copy these files to the new release?

Hello,

I'm facing with a crash, which happen when I sort the entries by a datetime attribute (sort or rsort) and then i change the display mode from Full, Summary and Threaded.

For example, the elogd crashes when I try to connect from the Full display to Summary in sort mode. The issue presents for example by entering with the following URL:

http://host.name.com:8080/65+nm/?mode=summary&sort=Record+date

Can you please help me?

Here I reduced my elogd.cfg at minimum and I still get this issue:

[global]
port = 8080

[65 nm]
Attributes = Record date

Type Record date = datetime
Preset Record date = $date
List Display = Record date
Start page = ?sort=Record date

I haven't found any reporterd issues in the forum similar yet, but it appears there is a bug in Elog when logging into logbooks. If I leave Username and Password null and click Submit the daemon crashes. We've been having this problem off and on and after some verbose logging level 3 I was drawn to these recurring lines in the log:

16-Dec-2016 18:20:22 [172.23.113.4] {SER Reports} LOGIN user "" (attempt)
16-Dec-2016 23:15:52 [] Server listening on port 8080 ..
16-Dec-2016 23:18:05 [172.23.113.4] {Daily Request Log} LOGIN user "dmorrison" (attempt)

I downloaded the source code from the git repository which contained the new fix that was made for the missing username-crash error. I tried compiling the elogd.c file using a GCC compiler and it gave an error about missing header files. It first gave an error about netdb.h file and when I commented that header file call, it gave further errors for other header files. I do not really understand why it gives an error about that.  

When installing ELOG 3.1.2 on my Mac Sierra (10.12.2) with the latest XCode 8.2.1, it seemed to install fine but for one warning when building elogd:

cc -O3 -funroll-loops -fomit-frame-pointer -W -Wall -Wno-deprecated-declarations -DHAVE_SSL -I /opt/local/include -o elogd 
src/elogd.c crypt.o auth.o regex.o mxml.o  -lssl

  __builtin___strlcpy_chk (dest, src, len, __darwin_obsz (dest))
  ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
1 warning generated.

My installation was done with "sudo make install", as the instructions state.  I have also been using the prescribed "launchctl" approach.

1. Is the above warning something that needs attention/correcting?

2. My elogd crashes now every time that I attempt any kind of "Find" operation.

3. I synchronize my MacOS version of elog with a linux-based version on my university's web server.  I have installed 3.1.2 on the linux server, and it is running there without problems.  When I now try to synchronize my 3.1.2 ELOG on MacOS laptop with the same version on my linux server, it appears to do the first mirroring operation correctly, but elogd crashes when I try a second synchronization at a later time.  (For now, I have "Mirror simulate = 1" to prevent inadvertent damage.)

Can anyone help me with the above points?

Thank you,

Andreas

Hi all

I am trying to send email via Gmail smtp with no success. Elog uses port 25 which is not allowed. I need to use 587 or 465 ports to send mail. How can I change the port?

Have a good year all!

Hi all,

I have two attributes defined like following

Attributes = Author, Author Email, Icon, Category, System, Subject

ROptions Category = Shift Summary, Report, Reply, Fault, Issue, Resolved, Maintenance

IOptions Icon = icon1.gif, elc_list.png, icon3.gif, icon8.gif, icon4.gif, icon14.gif, elc_anchor.png

Icon comment icon1.gif = Shift Summary
Icon comment icon3.gif = Reply
Icon comment icon4.gif = Issue
Icon comment icon8.gif = Fault
Icon comment icon14.gif = Resolved
Icon comment elc_list.png = Report
Icon comment elc_anchor.png = Maintenance

When the Shift Summary category being selected, I wish the icon1.gif Icon being selected automaticlly, as well as when icon8.gif being selected, Fault category be selected. How can I get this? Any advice or suggestions will be appreciated.

Cheers,

Xuan

Dear all,

I am trying to have the elog timestamp in UTC time instead of local time using the following config file but without success. Do you know what I am doing wrong?

Thanks
