Nevermind. this was an iptables issue.

I had problems getting elog to run on port 8080 (or many others). I have it installed on Redhat Enterprise Linux rel 4. The only way I was able to get it working was using port 80. I would like to run it on a different port if possible but I'm not sure what is wrong.

Any Ideas
  1597   Tue Jan 17 14:09:17 2006 Question Chris Warnerchristopher_warner@dcd.uscourts.govQuestionLinux Email based on not attribute value
Is it possible to send an email if an attribute is not equal to a specific value?

For instance, I have a server logbook that several people are able to write to. There is one person that is ultimately responsible for this server. I would like to generate an email any time that someone other than the System Administrator creates a new entry.

Thanks,

Chris Warner

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">).

No, you have to copy entries manually with the "Copy to" menu command. For that, you have to put something like

Menu commands = List, New, Edit, Copy to, Delete, Reply, Duplicate, Find, Config, Help

into your configuration file.

No, but there is a trick you can use. Put following into your config file:
Attributes = Author, ...
Preset Author = $long_name
Locked Attributes = Author
Options Author = Admin{1}, other{2}
{1}Suppress default = 1

Replace "Admin" with the name of the administrator. The "Author" field gets automatically set to the author name, and it's locked, so there will no be drop-down box which lets you select between "Admin" and "other". Now if the author is equal to "Admin", the condition {1} becomes true, and the "Supress default is executed. This check the "suppress email notificatio" box at the bottom, so normally no email gets sent from the administrator.

So what is your problem? Can't you access http://localhost:8080/demo/default.css ?

If so, you could use an
URL = http://{your host}:8080/

option in your config file, where you replace {your host} with your real host name.
  1660   Tue Feb 7 21:02:22 2006 Question Chris Warnerchristopher_warner@dcd.uscourts.govQuestionLinux email problems
When I select to get email notification on new logbook entries I receive this error when entering a new record.

Error sending Email via "xxx.xxx.xxx.xx": Syntax error, parameters in command "MAIL FROM: christopher_warner@xxx.gov SIZE=1985" unrecognized or missing

The user that sent the message was a test account that I set up. I entered the email address in the box provided and I am not sure what may be causing the difficulty.

Any thoughts as to what may be causing this?

There are two possible reasons:

1) The email address "christopher_warner@xxx.gov" is invalid. Some SMTP server immediately complain about invalid email addresses and refuse to send any mail then. In that case just supply an existing email address or remove that test account.

2) The SMTP server does not like the "SIZE=xxx" option. This comes from a single line in elogd.c:

snprintf(str, strsize - 1, "MAIL FROM: %s SIZE=%d\r\n", from, strlen(text));

you could just go there and remove the " SIZE=%d", so that the line looks like:

snprintf(str, strsize - 1, "MAIL FROM: %s\r\n", from);
to see if that makes any difference.
