  66886   Thu Sep 2 10:30:14 2010 Question lancelance1.hayward@yahoo.comQuestionWindows2.7.6-2230SQL Database

We have been running elog for a few years now and its solid. The only thing is we are getting to 140k entries over a few books and its starting to slow down whist searching. My questions is can we go to an SQL type database rather than a flat file? Is it worth it? Is anyone running this type of configuration?

Hi again. We have solved our problem! 

It was caused by a non-defined mod_auth_openidc configuration parameter:

# Interval in seconds after which the session will be invalidated when no interaction has occurred.

# When not defined, the default is 300 seconds.

#OIDCSessionInactivityTimeout <seconds>

 

As a guess... This somehow makes elogd to forget a user who is editing an entry. And then, clicking "Submit" button makes elogd to start a new session?

Hi. 

I am an IT guy of the AMS collaboration at CERN. We have been using your wonderful elog software for about 10 years now. Thanks! It served us so well that I guess we never got in touch with you. 

Recently we have upgraded it (probably for the first time in years) up to the version ELOG V3.1.4-4936b76.

Since then, we have a particular problem. And finally, I managed to reproduce it.

So, when I edit a record and click the "Submit" button it goes back to the summary view (as usual, as before) but it does not really save the entry. And it shows that the record is still being edited. I can actually click "back" in the browser and not to lose the modifications (otherwise, if I try to edit and steal the lock, it's lost). 

I will try to figure out where the problem is coming from. The most verbose mode of the elog server I've found is just GET-POST lines, not helpful. Is there a debug mode? 

Also, we ran httpd configured with the elogd as a virtual host (proxy).

Any help is very appreciated. 

Cheers, 

Andrey

Hello, I'm having problems with e-mail notifications.

When I try submitting a new post, I get the following error:

Error sending Email via "smtp.glocalnet.net"

The error message doesn't give a lot of hints...

My config file contains the following lines:

[global]
SMTP host = smtp.glocalnet.net
SMTP username = rhj764h@tninet.se
SMTP Password = xxx

...

[BugZ]

...

Email All = somebody@gmail.com
Use Email From = theproject@kato.homelinux.org

 

The password was created by invoking elogd with the -t option containing the true password. I've tried enter the correct password manually in the config, but the error message is the same.

Below follows a cut&paste of the console output when invoking with the -v option (addresses manually edited to avoid spam):

Email ALL to somebody@gmail.com

  67788   Thu Jan 29 10:16:01 2015 Question Banata Wachid Ridwanjogjacard@yahoo.comQuestionWindows3.0.0SMTP Host Error and export to CSV question

Hello

first of all, congrats for bring back the forum after down for sometimes, :D

but seems my old account is broken, I cant login with that anymore, so I make new account and strangely I can make identical account like the old one ahahahaha

 

okay first question :

Recently my elog setup got smtp host error, everytime someone submit log, error result that SMTP host is not found in global setting.

I dont't set mail server on my server so I cant use smtp host function, and I use register type 1 to avoid email function, but after sometimes those error occured, it seems some members accidentally check ëmail notification option

so, how to completely disable this function or maybe some work around on this error? I dont have mail server right now,

 

second

When we export logbook to CSV and open to microsoft excel, html tags still there, how to ommit html tags completely during export? and how to make nice table data from csv in elog? I saw many inconsistency there, especially on comment data

for example if I make more than two lines of logbook, second line will place in first column , not in the last column, just like the first line of comment.

  67412   Fri Jan 4 00:28:09 2013 Question Satish Desaisvdesai75@gmail.comQuestionLinux2.9.2SMTP Error: authentication not enabled

Hi all,

I am trying to set up elog here at the University of Minnesota.  It looks very promising for helping to manage a fairly complicated operation.  I've got most of what I want set up without too much difficulty.  However, I find that I'm having some difficulty to get it working properly with email.

In particular, I have my account set up to email me when log entries are made (subscribe to logbooks option is selected).   In the global section of my elogd.conf file I have set up the variables:

SMTP host = factoryserver5
SMTP username = factory

However, when I make a test entry, I get an error at the top:

Error sending Email via <i>"factoryserver5"</i>: 5.5.1 Error: authentication not enabled

I tried setting the password using "elogd -t" but to no avail.  I also tried a few different values for SMTP host

Any suggestions as to what I am doing wrong?

 

Cheers,

Satish

Hello,

We've been using ELOG 2.6.5 to 2.7.8 for 4 years without any major problems.

Recently we upgraded to version 2.9.0 and since we've had the daemon frequently crash with SEGV.

I've detached debugging output from one time when ELOG the crashed. We've had many crashes
it was a different logbook each time. Platform is Solaris 10 5/08 on SPARC.

Has anyone else experienced problems with 2.9.0?

 

Best Regards

Kester

  1636   Fri Jan 27 20:40:00 2006 Question G. Vandemoortelegvdmoort@skynet.beQuestionLinux2.6.1 CVSRunning elog as ordinnary user
Hello,

I've configured elog with some commands running a shell :

Preset R-Date = $shell(/usr/bin/date +"%Y/%m/%d %H:%S")
; for testing :
Preset $text = $shell(whoami && set)
Preset $text = Some fixed text

That worked well when elog was started by root (and falling to user elog),
but later, I moved all the elog tree to /home/my_name/.elog,
(I'd like to start it only when I'm logged, it's only for personnal data)
changed all the attributes/permissions ($chown -R my_name:my_group .elog)
and none of these commands still works ! I use the -x option to allow
shell substitution.

More surprisingly, even the fixed text doesn't work (???)

Any explanation ?

By the way, I also seen that it is necessary to set Usr and Grp to "elog"
via the config file even when it's started by root, because otherwise,
you always get the strings 'Falling back to default group "elog"' and
Falling back to default user "elog" in the output of the shell substitutions.

Regards,

Gauthier
  1641   Mon Jan 30 11:41:18 2006 Question Dimitrios Tsirigkasdimitrios.tsirigkas@cern.chQuestionLinux2.6.1Running ELOG under Apache
Hi,

Sorry if this has been asked elsewhere and I'm missing it. I want to stop users from accessing my elog by loading the URL: http://mycomputerURL:8080 and only make it accessible through http://mycomputerURL/elog. The end goal would be to use Apache to control access. I followed the instructions under "Running elogd under Apache" in the admin guide, but what that did was simply to redirect browsers trying to load ttp://mycomputerURL/elog to http://mycomputerURL:8080.

Thanks,
Dimitris
