Yes, I can help with that: you've tried to put the picture into the text body. Try to make it a normal attachment, that'll work always.

Hi all, 

I'm following config guide and so far so good. The only issue I run into is when enabling SSL.

Guide says - One can replace this certificate and key with a real certificate to avoid browser pop-up windows warning about the self-signed certificate.

Can you please tell me a more details regards this part? I have acquired security certificate and replaced contents of SSL folder. 

Now elogd.exe gets error 1067.

Any help would be highly appreciated.

Thanks!

This comes from the openSSL library which elog includes. I tried myelf and found that a chained certificate is not correctly interpreted by the openSSL library. Most people anyhow don't use SSL inside elog, but run an Apache server in front of elog. This is anyhow better since Apache has an industry-strength security with regular updates. Much better than relying on OpenSSL.

Hi, 

could it be possible to increase the limit of entries in Login user list from 100 to somewhat reasonably higher? Like twice or 3 times as much. Similar limit exist also on Admin user list, which is afair 10, could this also be increased?

Hi Janusz,

You can change the following line in elogd.h and recompile:

#define MAX_N_LIST      100
That'll change the login user list limit. But it'll change other list length as well - which should not do harm unless you are very short of memory.

I don't see the Admin user list limit of 10 - aparently that is hard coded somewhere deep within (or I've just missed it).

Cheers, Andreas

Thanks, good point, I was not sure that in case of other lists which will be changed as well, there will not be any problems, like overflow, etc. 

Regarding admin list, now I remember, that was the limit to send email notification in case of registration requests. But actually it is not important right now.

Dear all,
  I have some logbook which uses preset text depending on some option values, and uses text files for this.

something similar to:

Options Type = Start of shift{1}, 2h{2}, 4h{3}, 6h{4}, End of shift {5}

{1} Preset text = MCProdStart.txt
{2} Preset text = MCProd2h.txt
{3} Preset text = MCProd4h.txt
{4} Preset text = MCProd6h.txt
{5} Preset text = MCProdEnd.txt

I wonder if there is a way to change/edit the text files from the web interface if you are admin of that logbook, or if the only way is to change the files directly in the elog server.

thanks Stefano

Well, many arrays based on MAX_N_LIST are created on the heap memory, and if you exceed that, elogd simply crashes. There are compile options to increase the stack and heap size, but that depends on the operating system and the compiler. The value of 100 has been proven to work everywhere. If you increase it, you're on your own.
