  1542   Wed Dec 7 02:37:40 2005 Entry Jesse Wodinjwodin@stanford.edu   Proxy question
I'm trying to run elog 2.6.0-beta4 under Apache 2.0.  I follow the directions, and everything works fine, so my
elog runs as

http://grattalab3.stanford.edu/elog/

running under port 8082, with the following lines in my httpd.conf file

 Redirect permanent /elog http://grattalab3.stanford.edu/elog
 ProxyPass /elog/ http://grattalab3.stanford.edu:8082/

This machine has an alias, which is http://exo-elog.stanford.edu.  My question is, how can I run elog so that
when someone types in this name, it brings up my elog? I know that I can make a VirtualHost entry and put a
redirect at the document root of that virtual host, but that seems clumsy.  Can I just modify ProxyPass or add a
Redirect statement somehow?

Thanks!

I have been having a repeatable crash on V2.6.0 everytime someone tries to recover a password using the option from the login screen. See attachment for a jpg of the message.

This is occuring on windows 2003. But I have also tested it on windows XP and it occurs there as well. In addition on XP I did a generic installtion and added the password option to the DEMO application and it fails there as well.

I am attempting to configure the Elog for use at the CMS Remote Operations Center
at Fermilab. I included the following option:

Menu commands = List, New, Reply, Duplicate, Find, Last day, Config, Admin, Login, Logout, Help

but the available list (after restarting the elog daemon) gives me:

CMS ROC Logbook, Page 1 of 1 Logged in as "Alan Stone" ELOG Home
New | Find | Select | CSV Import | Config | Logout | Help

Did I miss a step in the syntax instructions?

Thanks, Alan

Hi all! This is an HTTP POST request submitted from the command line using curl, and providing no authentication information. If I can post as myself using this command, then shouldn't something be done about this? Cheers, Dimitris

Hello,

I had trouble compiling elog on Mac OS X 10.4, and so, I hacked the makefile around...

I had to remove the -lutil flag that was passed to ld, for some reason. My guess is that it is not needed anymore with OS X 10.4... Also, the current install section of the makefile crapped out when using /usr/bin/install, I had to use install from gnu fileutils, which I installed through fink, which took precedence in my path... (/sw/bin/install), since bsd fileutil doesn't like the -D option.

For some reason, the paths to "install" in the makefile are either defined by the $(INSTALL) variable, or called directly. This seems not to be very consistent... In any case, I just changed it to use "install", no matter where it was in my path.

I'm currently hacking up something more elegant soon enough...

Also, I noticed that the binary produced was inconsistent and sluggish with the default wild CFLAGs, so I brought them back to something a bit more casual for Darwin. I used -Os because that's what Apple uses to build most OS X software. I also use -Os in my blackdog builds (which is an embedded PowerPC device) since space and memory *does* matters.

Well, here's the patch. I doubt it will be useful to anyone except for those who have gnu fileutils installed through fink, in their paths, and find themselves unable to build elog on OS X.

  1804   Mon Apr 10 20:28:37 2006 Entry Alan Stonealstone@fnal.govQuestionLinux2.6.1-1684How can I configure to prevent empty entries?
I have accidentally created a couple of entries recently. It is pretty easy. I
fill in the header, type in a Subject, and then hit Enter, instead of TAB.
I have turned off the edit option intentionally.

I want to avoid this in the future. Is there a configuration option which would
confirm that the user before submitting an entry without a Body? I know I can require
attributes like Author and Subject. I am not sure I want to require a Body, in case
someone submits an entry with just an attachment (and a Subject).

Thanks, Alan
  1829   Wed May 17 23:39:23 2006 Entry Alan Stonealstone@fnal.govQuestionLinuxELOG V2.6.Linking two sets of logbooks
I would like to link the CMSROC ELOG at Fermilab:
http://nippon.fnal.gov:8081/
with the CMS ELOG at CERN:
https://cmsdaq.cern.ch/elog/

I am the administrator of the former. I want to keep the CMSROC logbook content
local, but I would like to make a link to the CMS CERN logbook visible from
http://nippon.fnal.gov:8081/
and ideally to have it show up as a tab from any sub-page.

Thanks in advance for any help.
Alan

Dear all,

I am trying to get elog used in our company but I need some help.
I have two small questions:

-1- how can I restrict the access 
of a certain user such that he can only see certain logbooks. 
But also not showing the other logbooks on the selection page.
So we could have a tree like this:

Stage one
|
|->Stage 2
       |
       |
      / \
     |   |
    Co1 Co2
    /     \
  job     job

So when Co1 logs in the should not be able to see Co2 and the attached job

-2- How can I have a login page instead of the logbook selection page.
When I insert the password statement the config, I get a blank page.
