Hi there, I just compiled and installed elog on a machine running the newest Ubuntu server. Everything went fine - no problems. Running elog on it's own (no apache).  I moved over a bunch of logbooks from an older elog, which seemed to work. Now, elog seems to crash when people are uploading files. Here is a snip from my syslog, and you can see each time it crashes with "error 4."

I run elog as:

Usr = elog

Grp = elog

/usr/local/sbin/elog -p 8080 -c /usr/local/elog/elogd_exo.cfg -D

where elogd_exo is my config file. Nothing special in my config file.

elogd continues to run after a SIGHUP. If a second SIGHUP is received the daemon terminates.
This was observed on Solaris 10 (SPARC).
The documentation states that elogd should re-read configuration after receiving SIGHUP.

Hi, All.  Ever since upgrading from an old ELOG release on an aging windows machine to the latest version on Scientific Linux 4 (RHEL4), and 
greatly increasing its use, we have seen frequent crashes of elogd.  This has become very disruptive to operations, and any help would be greatly 
appreciated.  We are using Apache (running on the same machine as elogd) to secure ELOG using https as per the Administrator's Guide.

Anecdotally, the crashes seem to frequently happen when a user is attaching an image.  However, most of the time attachments succeed without 
incident.

I attempted to obtain a stack trace by attaching gdb to the process, but elogd died during the night.  It was urgently needed, so I needed to kill 
the elogd process (ptrace() kept it hanging around) and therefore could not obtain a stack trace.  For what it's worth, here is the output we do see in 
gdb:

I plan on letting elogd create a core dump, but so far I haven't managed to change its cwd to a directory elog can write to.

Please let me know if there is any other information I can provide.  Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Many thanks,
Devin 

i cannot view images in elog, either as attachments or as icons,

safari 3.2.1 mac os x 10.5.6

Thank you

David

Hi

Tested this using the 2.6.1 version which comes packed with ubuntu-dapper and a 2.7.5 version I've compiled from source.

If I compile the 2.7.5 version from source and start it using

sudo /usr/local/sbin/elogd -c /usr/local/elog/elogd.cfg

config snippets below

---------------------------------

/usr/local/elog/elogd.cfg:

[global]
port = 8080
;url = http://solsikker.dmi.dk/elog/

[demo]
Theme = default
Comment = General linux tips & tricks
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Options Type = Routine, Software Installation, Problem Fixed, Configuration, Other
Options Category = General, Hardware, Software, Network, Other
Extendable Options = Category
Required Attributes = Author, Type
Page Title = ELOG - $subject
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Type
------------------------------------

The icons show up !!

If I go through an apache proxy (config snippets below)

----------------------------------------

/usr/local/elog/elogd.cfg:

[global]
port = 8080
url = http://solsikker.dmi.dk/elog/

[demo]
Theme = default
Comment = General linux tips & tricks
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Options Type = Routine, Software Installation, Problem Fixed, Configuration, Other
Options Category = General, Hardware, Software, Network, Other
Extendable Options = Category
Required Attributes = Author, Type
Page Title = ELOG - $subject
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Type

From apache conf

ProxyPass /elog/ http://solsikker.dmi.dk:8080/
ProxyPassReverse /elog/ http://solsikker.dmi.dk:8080/
<Proxy *>
        Order deny,allow
        allow from all
</Proxy>
-------------------------------------

The icons are missing !!!

The icons a showing up when using apache and the 2.6.1 elog version.

Best Regards

When I try to set

Protect Selection page = 1

in the config file elog crashes. Attached is my config file.

elog 2.7.5 built Apr  8 2009, 16:52:07 revision 130

Here's the issue. We use elog to develope products we need to be able to see all the thumbnail images in a

particular logbook. Our default view is to use the threaded view fully expanded in order to have all the thumbnails

be displayed for each product. This works fine but when we move one message to another logbook the thumbnails

end up getting broken and won't be displayed. The only way to fix this is to remove the image and re-upload the

picture after the message is moved. This is not a good option because we have hundrends of items that are

constantly being moved around from logbook to logbook. Any ideas?

Regards,

Mike

EDIT:

On further inspection it seems that when you are moving messages to another log book the image date filename

is re-written which of course breaks the html link to the image.  Is there anyway to supress this so that the filename

stays in tact when it's moved from one book to another. I don't see why the name of an attachment has to get changed

just because something is moved around.

Hi,

when i try to send a form after edit or create an entry i got this message : Connection closed by remote server

is there any idea

thanks
