icon8.gif   Post appearing twice, posted by Dan Chitwood on Fri Sep 23 19:23:26 2005 
We are having trouble on our logbook with posts appearing twice. Both posts contain the same ID number, time, etc. This most often occurs when the e-log entry is being written for an extended period of time (ie. more than 30 minutes), but I don't know if that is the root cause of the problem. It may also be related to posts that are edited after an initial posting. Could this be due to an improper setting in our config file?
icon8.gif   "Error: Cannot find hostname", posted by Exaos Lee on Sun Oct 9 20:39:50 2005 
I usually access hosts in LAN with their IPs. But elogd seems to prefer hostnames to IPs. I cannot ask each one to add the hostname to their system config file while they visit my host. I encounter several problems which seems to be related to the hostname resolution:
  • I can visit remote elog service through IP and port, but cannot submit entry and cannot open the config page remotely. For example, my powerbook's name is "exaos-pb-12" and its IP is 10.10.2.96. I run elogd on my PB and try to access it through URL http://10.10.2.96:8080/ on host 10.10.2.99. While I submit a new entry or open the config page, my firefox alway blames: "exaos-pb-12.local could not be found. Please check the name and try again."
  • Sometimes, all the images, colors are missing. It looks like that my firefox cannot find the correct URL of these images or CSS files. It might be the same problem of "cannot find hostname".

In version 2.6 the themes do not work right on Windows. 
The URL is fixed at whichever logbook that is selected (e.g. ELOG 2.5.9-4 is <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="default.css"> & ELOG 2.6.0-1 is <link rel="stylesheet" type="text/css" href="http://localhost:8080/demo/default.css">).

If users reply an entry, the notification email cannot be displayed correctly in Outlook, Outlook Express and Webmail.
I look at the source code and see <br />. It could be the reason.
icon8.gif   Two different attributes with the same list, posted by deletoille on Wed Jan 17 09:20:17 2007 fiche_panne2.JPG
In this picture of my project, All the attributes included in the red circle are the same except the names of the attribute “Equipement Incriminé” and “Equipement impacté”.
“Equipement Incriminé” and “Equipement impacté” have the same list.

The displayed list for the both attributes is the multiple conditions result coming from the choice of “groupe incriminé or impacté, sous ensemble, selection, and localisation”.

So if I have to program the list twice, it will be twice bigger.


Do I need to program the same list twice for the two attributes or is there a simple command to say that the two precedent attributes are equal?

Thanks in advance

icon8.gif   Synchronization Problems, posted by Nicole Ackerman on Wed Sep 5 01:09:00 2007 
I'm currently running elog 2.6.5 on my (feisty ubuntu) laptop and desktop. I set up mirroring between the two which usually works, but occasionally I get an error (when sending from laptop to desktop) :

"Enty too long to display. Please increase TEXT_SIZE and recompile elogd."

When this happens my entry is shortened to 3 characters. This is frustrating as I have lost many important entries. I'm unsure why this is happening - they aren't the longest entries in my logbook (one was a one line linux command) and there doesn't seem to be anything "special" about the ones that do and do not sync. The last time I tried to sync I got this error on 3 entries and they appear to be corrupted - when I try to access them elogd stops responding.

On a presumably related note, every time I try to send an entry from my laptop to my desktop I get "Error sending local entry: Error transmitting message", though the entry has appeared to sync properly. I don't think I have ever had a problem transmitting from my desktop to my laptop.

Currently the only mirroring option I have added to my config file in on my laptop which is the IP of my desktop as the Mirror server.

I'm unsure what else I could post to help troubleshoot this problem - is it just something I've done wrong or that could be fixed with a reinstall?

Thanks!
