I am moving my eLog system from one server to another.
I moved all my log books, my /etc/elog.conf, and /usr/share/elog/elog.pwd file. Did I miss anything?
The Logbooks come up fine on the eLog list, but when I try to access them I get invalid user name...
Do I have to do some sort of conversion to move the pwd file from one server to another?
Or should I try using the sync command for the move? does sync also move the pwd file??


Of course you have to start elogd after you copied all files over, but I presume you did that. The
password file itself does not need any conversion, it should work on both hosts fine. Cloning an elog logbook
(via the "-C <url>") flag, does copy the password file if you enter "yes" to the according question. Have you
checked the file permission of the password file? Maybe the user name elogd is running under has no read access
to it.


I reinstalled elog on the new server and ran the clone (via the "-C <url>"), wow that is really slick. But unfortunately my passwords and user data were not transfered. I did say 'Y' when prompted to transfer the password info.

I think my problem is that one server is running 2.5.9 (or 2.6.0 beta, unstable, Debian) and my new server is running 2.5.5.3 (stable, UBUNTU).

Are the password files not compatible between the 2 versions?

All my logbook entries appear to be there in full.

btw: I am back leveling to 2.5.5.3 because I lose my last column on every log book view.


I wanted to add that the elog.pwd file did transfer when I used the "elogd -C <url>" command, but the passwords and accounts were not recognized. Also I edited my elog.conf file to contain the absolute address of my elog.pwd file.

I fixed it... I merely backed out of the XML format of the elog.pwd and reverted to common passwd format. Everyone can log in now... great product.

Hello Again,

I'm being asked to do the impossible to list the Assessing Dept Data but not letting people download the whole database. This way they can lookup the info the Town uses to assess their property. The Town’s Selectmen have stopped paying for the company who hosted the database and the software they used. Now I'm asked to do the same service in house with out funds and without resorces. Hence the question.

Thanks


Paul

icon5.gif   <img> in Display Attribute, posted by Emiliano Gabrielli on Fri Jul 8 19:08:30 2005 
My goal is to be able to do the following :

Display Category = $category <img src="icons/$category.png" border="0">


This way one can add a self explaining icon to the attribute or just replaceing it (only in visualization)

Is there another method to accomplish this ? otherwise I's in my wish list Smile

Ok, it's implemented in CVS.

Still a problem .. sorry:
Options Category              = Info,Report,Problem{1},Other
Preset Category               = Info
Display Category              = <img style="border:0; float:left; margin-right:5px" src="icons/$category.png">$category

{1}ROptions Level             = Notice,Warning,Alert,Fixed
{1}Preset Level               = Warning
{1}Display Level              = <img style="border:0; float:left; margin-right:5px" src="icons/$level.png">$level

when I try to use this featur on a conditional attr it is ignored .. If I remove the {1} it is obviously showed .. but also when no $level is defined (taht is infact not what should be)...



BTW, is it possible to not show conditional attributes in mail and in "single entry" view? .. it's quite strange to ave a "Level" of a "Misure", not a "Problem" Tongue


thank you in advance Smile
