ok, tnx. 

Hi, 

I am playing with the elog automatic subscription script, but somehow I am failing in submitting an entry. 
I am using a syntax as this:

echo test | elog -h 127.0.0.1 -p 8085 -d /usr/local/elogbooks/Elog -l "Sub Elog" -a "Type=MyType" -x -u user passwd

and I get a message which says: 
"cannot get host name: Success"

which seems contradictory and also there is no entry submitted. 

The command is executed on the host where the elog is running, the port and directory are taken from the cfg File. 

What is my mistake, where is my misunderstanding of the documentation?

Any hints appreciated. 

Erik

The "-d" option is certainly wrong. This is only used when running elog under Apache. But otherwise it should work. I 
tried it myself and it went fine. Try to add a "-v" flag to see verbose output.

Tried installing on Fedora 11 - failed dependency on libssl.so.6 I have libssl.so.8 installed. What do I need to do to install this package?

thanks,

The easiest is if you install from source by downloading the tar ball. It's hard these days to make a RPM which runs on all possible distributions. I would have to maintain a zoo of new and old distributions, which I don't have the hardware for. Or you go and install libssl.so.6 by hand.  

Hello

Using windows7 and the elogd 2.7.7 built Jul 31 2009, 13:01:20 revision 2246.  I noticed a bug in the tables created with fckeditor. When on winxp there is no problem. So it seems windows7 related. 
Don't know if I should post here or somewhere else. When i Click the table icon i get : 
When I want to continue ( Pressing Yes) i get

So the OK button is removed, and i can only cancel. So it's impossible to create a new table in elog. ( yes , create it by hand, but that is not so nice )
Download the latest version of elog : elogd 2.8.0 built Aug  2 2010, 12:16:05 revision 2312 . Just to see if this helps. The result is the same.
Is there some solution/workaround for this ?

Thanks for elog : it's great.

Answer : Problem solved. It is not window7 related. When I did a fresh install ( not installing over the old directory ) everything is working as expected. So I did something wrong with installing over the old elog directory.

Thanks for you're time and the inconvenience.

 This programing have stoped working, I guess after last update.

Elog is running on Solaris.
