My Elog running on windows 2003 sp1 is crashing with this error "  Faulting application elogd.exe, version 0.0.0.0, faulting module elogd.exe, version 0.0.0.0, fault address 0x00061330."  the version of elogd.exe is  has a built date of 2/22/2008.  Will upgrading to the latest windows binary resolve this issue?    Thanks!!

 

Hi,

  We have been using Elog successfully as a shiftlog book for over a month 
now, but I recently ran into an annoying bug, I think.
  We had a thread that was created and was being replied to over several 
days.  We first replied to the original thread and then each subsequent 
reply was a reply of the previous reply.  When the thread reached above 13 
of these, the elogd.exe would crash everytime a user attempted to select 
the logbook that contained the enormous thread.  
  I found the only workaround was to manually delete the offending entry 
from the log file and to instruct my users to not reply to replies unless 
absolutely necessary.  I have been able to replicate this error across the 
rest of my logbooks as well.  If there is any more information you may 
need, please feel free to contact me.

Thanks,
Chris Jones

I came accross the admin guide and I was reading / searching for a way to sync logbooks across sites...
elogd mention "-m" and "-M" ... not elog but elogd... with that description :
synchronize logbook(s) with remote server

Does it sync all logbooks ? is there any examples somewhere or advice ?

Thanks :)

My logbook kept crashing whenever I tried to reply to an existing entry. I found that the percent sign "%", when used in the subject line, will crash the elogd service when you try to reply to the entry. This appears to only happen with windows installations. I tested this on your Linux logbook and it didn't crash.

Here is the message taken from the Windows event viewer after the crash:
An unhandled win32 exception occurred in elogd.exe [5224].

Thank you for Elog, you have done a good job with it.  It is a great logbook.

I'm running elog 2.9.2 on a Red Hat 6.3 server. This installation has been running for some time on a Solaris server, and was recently moved to the RHEL server.

When a user tries to upload a .bmp attachment, the upload never completes, eventually timing out with a proxy error. At that point, the elogd process stops responding to requests and needs to be restarted. Nothing is in the log file other than a "Listening" message when elogd starts up. Png and pdf attachments seem to work fine. I was able to convert an image from .bmp to .png and upload, but that's not practical for my user.

ImageMagick 6.5.4-7 is installed on the server. Everything else seems to be working normally.

Is this a known problem, or have I missed something that needs to be installed on the RHEL server?

Hi,

elogd sometimes crashes when there are large cookies. Or I'd guess it has something to do with the cookies, elogd crashed over and over again until I cleaned out cookies and authenticated sessions in firefox, then it stopped.

When I run "elogd -v" in gdb, and someone does:

Hi Stefan,

I recently installed the latest Elog 2.7.8 revision 2277 after running Elog 2.7.7 revision 2246 for several months without any problems. However once I submit an entry by using the Reply command Elog crashes and Windows XP reports an error message screen. This also stops the elogd service.

I have pinpointed it down to the command "subst on reply Subject = $Subject" by removing my whole configuration file and just added the line "subst on reply Subject = $Subject" to your demo configuration file.

Elog seems to also stops the elogd service with any "subst on reply" command.

Do you have any suggestions?

Thank you,

Regards

Cliff Shaw
