ELCode, posted by Alexandre Lindote on Wed Oct 25 18:00:24 2006

Hi,
can you think of any obvious reason why the ELCode would not work in the logbooks I set up?
I can use it here, on the forum, and on the DEMO logbook, but not on the ones I created...
Oh, and me inserting "Allowed encoding = " whatever in the config file doesn't seem to mater as well... I always get the 3 options!
Am I missing a flag somewhere?
The config file for this logbook is below...
Thanks a lot
Alex

There is a good reason why this forum contains a ELOG Version tag which you are supposed to fill out for new entries. Without knowing which version you are using I cannot help you. Probably you have an old version which does not support the Allowed encoding. |
Sorry about that... it's 2.6.2-1699, so a very recent one. |

Ok, I think I found the problem... For some reason the elcode.js file was only in /usr/local/elog/scripts, but it was supposed to be in
/usr/local/elog/themes/default/ as well.
Creating a symlink between the two solved that problem. I can now do most things with the ELCode, but inserting images is still failing. I get this message from the firefox javascript console:
text.value has no properties (line 32 of elcode.js)
Any thoughts?

calling a shell in the Options tag, posted by Alexandre Lindote on Tue Oct 31 20:05:07 2006

Hi,
is it possible to run a shell script in an "Options" tag, as it is with the "Preset", "Subst", and so on?
I need to have something like this:
Options Update of = $shell(/home/alex/zeplin3/elog/z3elog-mirror/documents/ext_docs.sh MinGen)
the script returns a line with comma separated values...
Thanks

Alex, have you tried it? Novel idea!

Yes, I have. It doesn't seem to... 
I just get one option, which is the shell line itself.
Something like:
--- Please select ---
$shell(/home/alex/zeplin3/elog/z3elog-mirror/documents/ext_docs.sh MinGen)
Cheers

Synchronization using https, posted by Alexandre Lindote on Thu Jan 18 16:29:43 2007

Hi,
I have an elog server running on a linux desktop machine inside our institutional firewall. It can be accessed from inside the firewall directly using http, but users from outside have to use https, with apache (and its ssl module) controlling the access.
I also set up another server on my laptop, just for backup purposes, and synchronized it inside the firewall (using a direct http connection). No problems there!
Now we want to have several servers set up (in different institutions), and have them synchronized automatically. For this I installed elog on a mac server (in another institution, so outside our firewall), also accessible only through https (again using apache).
I configured all the required mirror settings, but always get an error: "Remote server is not an ELOG server".
I've tried changing the status of the 2 machines (server-client), but get the same error...
I also tried different approaches for the Mirror server parameter, like
https://the.remote.server
https://the.remote.server:443
http://the.remote.server:443
but no luck...
Running elog with the -D flag off issued this message:

The servers have user level passwords, and I'm mirroring with Mirror user parameter set to the administrator...
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance

Dear all.
I am running elog
elogd 3.1.4 , revision ead6bbc6
on Macosx Mojave
Darwin arpg-serv.ing2.uniroma1.it 18.5.0 Darwin Kernel Version 18.5.0: Mon Mar 11 20:40:32 PDT 2019; root:xnu-4903.251.3~3/RELEASE_X86_64 x86_64
I managed to compile and run without problems the elog source code.
I can run it and have it properly displayed at boot time. After the server boot, for few hours, I have the elog ready at http://arpg-serv.ing2.uniroma1.it/elog but then, after few hours.. I get that the service stops and the elog is no longer accessible.
So far I was able to track down the problems only to the
/var/log/system.log
file in which I find a not useful error message:
Eg: Apr 23 14:00:46 arpg-serv com.apple.xpc.launchd[1] (ch.psi.elogd[85248]): Service exited with abnormal code: 1
I do not know I can I debug this nor why the code runs for few hours without problems... I just re-downloaded the code from scratch today, unloaded and then re-loaded the daemon but still it fails with the same error.
I am sure that I can get it running again for few hours by re-booting. But I want to understand the source of the problem.. Anyone can be of help on this long standing issue?
Thanks |

Thanks for the prompt feedback.
a) I confirm that the problems shows up also when running interactively the elog through elogd -p 8080
b) I am trying to catch the exit using lldb on the mac machine. I will be able to give you some feedback on that I hope in the next week (not easy access to the server)
c) What is the clean - recommended way to port everything on the linux machine and debug? I would do the following: download/install elog on a linux server, 'copy' all that now lives under /usr/local/elog on the mac one on the linux server, start the elog... is this ok? or there's anything else that I need to copy from the mac server to be sure to have the same environment?
Thanks again.

This kind of behavior we typically see if some elog entry is corrupt. After a few hours you might access this corrupt entry by accident, and then the server stops. If you see however this behavior on a fresh logbook with no corrupt entries, then the problem must lie somewhere else.
Do you see the same problem running under linux?
Do you see the same problem if you run elogd interactively (not through launchd)?
If you run elogd inside a debugger (like gdb or lldb), what does the debugger tell you when it crashes and you show the stack frames? Make sure to compile with -O0 and -g flags to include debug information in the executable.
