  2120   Thu Jan 18 16:29:43 2007 Question Alexandre Lindotealex@lipc.fis.uc.ptQuestionLinux | Mac OSX2.6.3-1762Synchronization using https
Hi,

I have an elog server running on a linux desktop machine inside our institutional firewall. It can be accessed from inside the firewall directly using http, but users from outside have to use https, with apache (and its ssl module) controlling the access.
I also set up another server on my laptop, just for backup purposes, and synchronized it inside the firewall (using a direct http connection). No problems there!
Now we want to have several servers set up (in different institutions), and have them synchronized automatically. For this I installed elog on a mac server (in another institution, so outside our firewall), also accessible only through https (again using apache).
I configured all the required mirror settings, but always get an error: "Remote server is not an ELOG server".
I've tried changing the status of the 2 machines (server-client), but get the same error...
I also tried different approaches for the Mirror server parameter, like
https://the.remote.server
https://the.remote.server:443
http://the.remote.server:443
but no luck...

Running elog with the -D flag off issued this message:

The servers have user level passwords, and I'm mirroring with Mirror user parameter set to the administrator...
Any ideas?

Thanks in advance

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!

Hi there. Just started recently set up the application and think its very usable and easily configured - great stuff

I'm looking to roll it out to the masses but have a slight logistical problem in that we work on 2 separate networks - NET1 with connection to the internet, and NET2 physically isolated from NET1 and the internet.

It would be desirable to allow users to add/update/delete logs from both NET1 and NET2 with periodic synchronisation.

I believe the mirroring facility is what should be used, and think the following setup and synchronisation steps may be workable:

Setup:

  • elog installed on node of NET1
  • elog installed on 2 nodes of NET2
  • elog server running on NET1 and node1 of NET2 both using a common elogd.cfg

Performing Synchronisation:

  1. Stop the server on NET1
  2. copy logbook directories from NET1 to node2 of NET2
  3. start server on node2 of NET2 using the -M option
  4. once above complete, copy logbook directories from node 2 NET2 to NET1
  5. Start the server on NET1

Am I on the right track?

Would very much appreciate your comments and advice on the above.

Cheers Dougie

I couldn't find an obvious solution to the problem. I'd like to suppress email

notification to the author of a message. I've had some people complaining

that when they use elog they don't want to get an email about what they wrote

since they wrote it.


Is it possible?

 

Regards,

Mike

The way I have ELOG configured it sends an email to supervisors based on which "Department " (attribute) was selected. Problem is that when the supervisor replies the department

is still selected and it sends a second email to the supervisor. Is there any way to supress the emails (automatically) on "Reply"?

Hello All. Stefan, would it be possible to add one more option to the Suppress Default flag? I'd appreciate a setting that would suppress emails being sent and remove the option from the page. Or, has this been accomplished? And, if so, what is that setting. Thanks in advance!! Keep up the great work.

Hello folks,

Can we have a better support under modern Linux distributions?

I'm trying to install elog in our webserver and it's becoming a boring task. First of all theres only RPM packages. And we really don't like the Red Hat method, so we use Debian Servers. More package mainteners would be nice.

 

The software appears to be working correctly, but there are some bugs (or perhaps missing dependencies?); the init script put in /etc/rc.d/init.d is broken under Debian:

First of all because it's in /etc/rc.d.

 

The second problem is in this line:

 

# Source function library.

#. /etc/rc.d/init.d/functions

The file doesn't even exists.

 

The third problem is the echo_success; echo_failure commands that doesn't even exist. As I can see it's definitions are sourced in the functions file that doesn't exist.

 

After removing this missing commands or files from the init.d; I can call elogd script and start the daemon under root. Appears to be working...

 

And last but not least; there's a way to standardize the init script to run in other Linux distros, so we can put it to start automatically at boot time?

 

Many thanks in advance,

Vinícius Ferrão 

 

PS: I'm not asking to support any creepy distros, but to support the .deb package format and system style.

 

 

 

  2229   Thu May 17 02:12:52 2007 Question Dennis Seitzdseitz@berkeley.eduQuestionAll Summary view: View only most recent entry for all values of a given attribute?
We are using Elog to track status of hardware assemblies. One attribute we've created is the serial number of an assembly. Other attributes are items like "location" and "status". We have set up these latter attributes with presets to make entry easy and keep entries consistent.

I would like to filter the summary view so it only shows me the most recent entry for every value in the serial number attribute. This would be very useful for quickly viewing the present status and location of every assembly, for example.

I can't find a way to do this in the documentation. Is it possible? If not, may I submit a request for this feature?

I am very impressed with the Elog and it has become an essential part of our record keeping. Thank you for a very useful and well implemented application!
