I can't seem to connect using elog:

Maybe a

elog -h <myhost> -p 8080 -v -l .... ???
  1430   Fri Oct 7 17:18:32 2005 Idea Stefan Rittstefan.ritt@psi.ch   ELOG repository moved from CVS to Subversion
The elog repository has been moved from CVS to Subversion for various reasons. Those people who accessed the CVS repository in the past now have to do it in one of two different ways:
  • Use the new ViewCVS gateway. This gateway now can also directly produce tarballs for the current repository snapshot
  • Use anonymous Subversion access:

    svn checkout svn+ssh://svn@savannah.psi.ch/afs/psi.ch/project/meg/svn/elog/trunk elog
    svn@midas.psi.ch's password: svn
    (you might have to enter the password several times...)
    svn checkout svn+ssh://svn@savannah.psi.ch/afs/psi.ch/project/meg/svn/mxml/trunk mxml
    svn@midas.psi.ch's password: svn
    (you might have to enter the password several times...)
If there is any problem accessing the new repository, please let me know.

Hi, Stefan,
I cannot checkout due to the following error:
------------
$ svn checkout svn+ssh://svn@savannah.psi.ch:/afs/psi.ch/project/meg/svn/elog/trunk elog
ssh: savannah.psi.ch:: Name or service not known
svn: Connection closed unexpectedly
------------

It seems that my PC cannot find the host savannah.psi.ch within CIAE. Maybe it's the problem of our DNS server. Anyway, what is the IP of savannah?


Sorry, was my mistake. In the command you have to use savannah.psi.ch, not savannah.psi.ch: (with the colon). So the full command is

$ svn checkout svn+ssh://svn@savannah.psi.ch/afs/psi.ch/project/meg/svn/elog/trunk elog

I usually access hosts in LAN with their IPs. But elogd seems to prefer hostnames to IPs. I cannot ask each one to add the hostname to their system config file while they visit my host. I encounter several problems which seems to be related to the hostname resolution:
  • I can visit remote elog service through IP and port, but cannot submit entry and cannot open the config page remotely. For example, my powerbook's name is "exaos-pb-12" and its IP is 10.10.2.96. I run elogd on my PB and try to access it through URL http://10.10.2.96:8080/ on host 10.10.2.99. While I submit a new entry or open the config page, my firefox alway blames: "exaos-pb-12.local could not be found. Please check the name and try again."
  • Sometimes, all the images, colors are missing. It looks like that my firefox cannot find the correct URL of these images or CSS files. It might be the same problem of "cannot find hostname".


In such a situation you describe it might help to use

URL = http://10.10.2.96:8080/

in the configuration file. This way elogd uses also IP numbers for redirection. Please let me know if that works.

I want to make elogd display the date in Chinese format. Please tell me howto.


Thank you for the files.

If you specify

Language = zh_CN

Then elogd looks for a file "eloglang.zh_CN" for the translation, for a file "eloghelp_zh.html"
for the help, and does a

setlocale("zh_CN");

to switch to Chinese date format. To retrieve the date, elogd calls strftime("%x");

I'm using Display Attribut = [elog:$logbook/$message id] as a reference link for other entries (ex.: Display Referenz = [elog:$logbook/$message id]). also see the attached elogd.cfg file.


This option has been changed on July 25th from "Display <attribute>" to "Change <attribute>" which is a more appropriate expression. The documentation has also been updated.

As the title.


There is no possibility to change an admin password. You probably mean that you logged in as admin and cannot change your own password, is that right? Do you use user level access via "password file = ..."? What is your elogd.cfg? I tried to switch language to German and I can change my own password via the config page.

I find some new strings from the warnings like this:

Language error: string "HelpELCode" not found for language "chinese"


I have added these new string to the languages files in Chinese. I think:
"Enter name of hypelink" should be "Enter name of hyperlink".


Ok, fixed in the current subversion repository. Better write such things by personal mail to me, since it might not interest the elog community very much.
