Hi,

We just recently upgraded from an older version of Elog to the latest and
greatest, 2.5.4-2.  Everything is workinly nicely, except the "Use Email
From" option does not seem to work as before.  We have the option set so
that all e-mail that is sent should be from a single address, but instead it
just ignores that address and uses the e-mail address of the user currently
logged in.   

I have this set in the global section of the elogd.cfg:

Use Email From = elog@****.com

Please let me know if this is the intended function or if it may possible be
a bug.

Thanks,
Chris

Nasty nasty. I prepared a longish post and only because I forgot to click an Icon of choice, all my message is lost.

Thus in short:

openssl/ssl.h isn't there.

I assume I got to get it from openssl.org.

But where do I put it in the compilation tree?

Hi,

I'm trying to configure Elog such that users can self-register. But no luck so far.
I cannot get the login screen. I'm connecting to a logbook (and I can do this without logging in).
Shouldn't I get a screen to login/register?

Here is my elogd.cfg:
[global]
Port=8880
Password file = /usr/local/elog/logbooks/passwd
SMTP host = smtp.mydomain.de
SMTP user = kuku
Logfile = /usr/local/elog/logs/elog.log
Admin user = kuku other
Login user = abc def ghi
SSL=1
URL=https://www.mydomain.de:8880/
Self register = 1
Menu commands = List, New, Edit, Reply, Duplicate, Find, Config, Logout, Help
Guest menu commands = List, Find, Login, Help

Admin user = me@mydomain.de
[Demo]
Admin Password = 9lVlUsigs4neBt9xnX44YYQay15Yu9PyLC9hK6sifI9
Attributes = Author, Status
[Linux]
Admin Password = 9lVlUsigs4next9PnXShhQQa515Yu9PyLC9hK6sifI9
Attributes = Author, Status
[Windows]
Admin Password = 9lVlUsigs4neBt9PnXShhQQay15YuxPyLC9hK6sifI9
Attributes = Author, Status

I just got a Proxy error from your site: When I clicked on the change password link that was sent to my email, I entered my new password (which was the same that I believed to have used before) and after submitting this form, I got the Proxy error. Also I find that I can never login with my once set password. Is it the Email or username on gives in the login field? Other quirk: I never can preview my post. When I click preview, nothing happens. Submitting worked today but yesterday I was unable to submit a post. I clicked several times on the submit button and nothing happened. -- Christoph

 It seems that the submit/preview problem is solved. Submit/Preview buttons at the bottom of the page seem to work on the attachments only.

Sorry for the oversight on my side.

This is now my config - it still doesn't work. BTW, the passwd file is empty (despite of the xml header).

[global]
Port=8880
Password file = /usr/local/elog/logbooks/passwd
SMTP host = smtp.mydomain.de
SMTP user = kuku
Logfile = /usr/local/elog/logs/elog.log
Logging Level = 3
Admin user = kuku 
Login user = abc def ghi
SSL=1

URL=https://myhost.mydomain:8880/
Self register = 1
Menu commands = List, New, Edit, Reply, Duplicate, Find, Config, Logout, Help
Guest menu commands = List, Find, Login, Help
[Demo]
Attributes = Author, Status
[Linux]
Attributes = Author, Status
[Windows]
Attributes = Author, Status

Thanks for helping.

 Let me add one observation though: I always have to put the Submit or Preview button twice in this forum. The first time no reaction happens. The secend click dows the action.
