Maybe an issue related to the dns search you introduced in order to guess the correct host name ?? ..


This is strange to me, since I did not change anything which could slow down the server this much. The dns search your mentioned is only evaluated once on startup of elogd, so it cannot be the cause. The select() statements with Timeouts are normal. If there is no HTTP request (elogd is idling), the select should time out after one second, to be able to check a changed config file for example. If a HTTP request arrives, the select() call is immediately terminated and the request served.

There is however some problem with DNS server which I saw on midas.psi.ch. If the DNS host name resolution is slow due to a slow DNS server, this could slow down elogd considerably significantly, but only occasionally. I saw elogd hanging on midas.psi.ch like once or twice a day for ~30 seconds.

I order to address this problem, I imlemented a global flag "resolve host names = 0|1". The default is "0", which means that elogd does not contact the DNS server, and rather save the raw IP address in log files etc.

Can you check the CVS version and see if it makes any difference?


No, ok it appears to be a very strange problem related to my JS calendar filter ... I'll change it's state to beta in contributions, but the very strange thing is that it works fine when no stunnel is used ...

I not sure if this has been found and fixed as I did find something to do with the list display attribute in the forums but wasn't sure if it was the same thing.

There seems to be a bug with the List Display attribute in that it drops the last attribute of the list. So in my example if I want to display the Subject in my list I have to add a dummy attribute after it otherwise the Subject will not be displayed. The comma after Subject is not enough, but all you have to do is to add 1 letter and then you will see the subject in List view. If you don't all I see is the Date and Author fields and then the Text field in my Summary view in the log book.

List Display = Date,Author,Subject,t

I am running elog 2.5.9+r1674-1 on Debian sarge.


I tried with the current 2.6.0-beta3 and it worked fine. Can you send me your full elogd.cfg in order to reproduce the problem?

it is the pippo bug...
it was fixed in revision 1.675, just the next he was using...

it is discussed in elog:1170

I'm using ELOG version 2.7.3-2058 and have been trying to get FCKeditor to work. This, to my understanding from the documentation, is supposed to be a part of elog by default after version 2.7.0 and from looking at the configuration syntax manual, it looks as though FCKeditor should be on with the default settings. I done nothing to turn it off and none of the obvious fixes seem to do anything. I've posted the text of my configuration file below, what did I do wrong?

Got the same problem, solved by manually unzipping "scripts/fckeditor.zip" from the sources to the installation directory (/usr/local/elog/scripts)

A better solution is to modify the Makefile :

@unzip -q -f scripts/fckeditor.zip -d $(ELOGDIR)/scripts/

which doesn't work on my Ubuntu 8.04; however changing to:

@unzip -q scripts/fckeditor.zip -d $(ELOGDIR)/scripts/

does...

In the logbook config file I am not able to use attribute substitution in the <string> tag for
Use Email Heading = <string>
Attribute substitution does work however for
Use Email Subject = <string>
e.g.
Use Email Subject = ELOG $logbook entry; $Category: $Subject
will result in an email subject of: "ELOG Forum entry; Bug Report; Attribute substitution in email configuration"
Use Email Heading = A new entry has been submitted by $long_name on $remote_host on $date
will result in an email heading of: "A new entry has been submitted by $long_name on $remote_host on $date"

Not sure if this functionality is intended or is a bug. An comment/feedback/suggestion would be appreciated.

Hi I have a logbook where I want to override the default Date attribute. I would like to set it by default to the entry date but enable the user to modify to a different date if desired. This is for entries that pertain to an activity performed on a date different to the entry date. To acheive this I have created an attribute called "Subject Date" and used preset = $date. In general this works but I would be happy to take any other suggestions on how to acheive it? Also, how do I remove the fixed "Date" attribute from the logbook summary page? I have tried: List = ID, Subject Date, Type, Subject in the config file but this doesn't appear to work? Thanks in advance! Adam

Fun things to set are:
Preset on first reply <attribute> = <string>
and
Preset on reply <attribute> = <string>

Hello
In the find page you use a calendar popup from which the user can click on a date and the date boxes are filled in with the correct date. Can I use that calendar also? If so, can you show me an example of it's usage.
