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

Hi Stefan,

I have noticed a problem when closing multiple log entries i.e entries which have more than 10 threads. I use Select -> Click the box that appears next to the thread I wish to close -> Edit.

As soon as I click on Edit the elogd service crashes and Windows displays an error message window. The only work around has been opening up all the threads and individually changing the "Status" to Closed. 

Forgive me if this issue has been raised before but I have looked throughout the Forum and could not see anyone experiencing the same problem.

Thanks

Cliff

OS: CentOS 7 x86_64 up2date with RPM 3.14 x86_64

• Connexion to ELOG
• open one logbook and click search,
• input "test" and click "Search" : BOOM
• Firefox can not connect anymore on ELOG.

The crash is met with several words now ("test", "post", "4.5", are the one i know). We use a mirror server and the problem appears also on it .

NB: the hangs appears on EL6 x86_64 server with customized RPM built by myself. I retry with 3.14 SRPMS avalaible from ELOG site with same results. Idem with last GIT version. So i tested on EL7 with official RPM x86_64 (not suitable for EL6 as it needs GLIBC_2.14) before to open this ticket.

Terminal traces on server side follows.

Abandon [sorry, French locale]

Logbook contains 445 entries (shown in ELOG window), 384 files and 4 folders (2017 to 2020).

Thanks for help as i start to be annoying to unuse search function.

Hi

I am experiencing trouble with Elog crashing. I think it crashes during input operations (new entries are being added).

Are there any preferred methods to troubleshoot this ? Any log files I could look at ?

For now, I let "monit" supervise the process and restart it if it crashes. But I would like to get to the root cause of the problem.

Hello,

Please could you help me.

We have 2 elog servers synchronized every minute via Elog mirroring function.

2 or 3 times a week, the slave crashes and we have to restart Elogd. I have found in /var/log/messages the same message every time elogd crash :

xmalloc: not enough memory

Thanks.

Dominique Bolla.

i have been using elogbook V2.7.6 on my XP machine for a number of years. I ahve recently upgraded to windows 8 and the reply function on my entries has changed. I can now see the previous entrys in HTML format rather than the reply box which used to appear and also my ability to upload attachments and paste working linls is removed. Do i need to upgrade to the latest version and do i ned to back up my previous entries and how do i do this?

Thank you

We are currently having problems with Elog, I never had a problem installing it before but with my last 3 install I can't get it to work. We are running under Windows XP, the installation works perfectly but when I try to use the shortcut pointing to the localhost 8080, I get an error page from Internet Explorer telling me that the server cannot be found. I've rebootied the computer to make sure the server was running but still the same problem. Is there a basic requirement I should look at (Dotnet versionX or specific DLL required)?
