> Anyone seen similar problems? 
Probably not if you read the config file, 'cause I didn't. Shame on me...

But what this shows (Stefan: correct me if I'm wrong) is that if you set 
the port number in the [global] section of the config file, the command-line
option '-p' is ignored. FYI...

  73   Mon Jul 15 14:09:30 2002 Warning Joeri Mastopjoeri.mastop@knmi.nlBug report  Port specification with -p fails under RedHat Linux (2.0.4-1)
Hello,

I noticed a strange behaviour with Elog 2.0.4 (i386 RPM) in Linux (RH 7.2). 
I started Elog out-of-the-box with portnumber 888 ('sbin/elogd -p 888').

It runs just fine, but appears to listen to port 8080, the default! It 
looks like the -p option on the command-line is ignored.

Anyone seen similar problems?

  72   Sun Jul 14 15:15:19 2002 Warning Ravi Pappupappu@media.mit.eduBug report  Reverse sort, threaded display fails when there is only 1 entry in logbook

This is not a serious bug...but when the global settings are as follows

[global]
Display mode = threaded
Reverse sort = 1

all logbooks with only a single entry produce the wrong URL on 
clicking "last 10"

The URL produced is http://localhost:8080/LogbookName/0
instead of http://localhost:8080/LogbookName/1

...because it has been fixed in meantime (revision 2.41). I have not made a 
new release since I want to fix the elog password submission first. In 
meantime, you can get the actual version from

The last x link TEXT now shows up like this

   'Last 20 entries?mode=threaded'

I can not reproduce this with the elogdemo logbook, however.

That's how it's supposed to be. Once a unique message ID is attached to a 
message, it stays there forever. Think of links to message like

http://midas.psi.ch/elogdemo/Forum/68

If you have such a link in a message or as a bookmark in your browser, and 
the ID gets changed from 68 to 67, then your link would be off.

Hello,
    If you delete a message from the middle of a logbook that contains a 
bunch of messages, the message numbers do not get updated properly.  For 
instance, if you have 20 messages in the logbook, and delete number 15, 
entry numbers 16 through 20 all do not get subtracted by one; their numbers 
stay the same with #15 just missing in the middle.

Ok, has been fixed. Will come in 2.0.5

The documentation was wrong about that which has been corrected. The proper 
file contents should be

<h1>You successfully submitted a message</h1>
<a href="?cmd=Back">Back</a> to the logbook<p>
<a href="?cmd=New">Enter</a> another message

This way one only needs one file for all logbooks.
