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.

I'm using that page to upload employee schedule in elog, and i copy-paste the schedule from excel table with color into the page.

The only browser that allow me to do above activity was only Microsoft Edge, it can keep the excel rich color table smooth and stayed with the color when i paste it.

If i'm doing above activity using different browser such as Firefox or chrome , everytime i paste the color rich excel table , the color always missing and only the text that pasted on the page.

But recently i update my Windows 10 and the Microsoft Edge browser also updated, and since that i the microsoft edge browser cannot read the "preset-text" template anymore and the page just blank.

Can you help

Thank you and regards

I'm working on setting up an elog as lab-journal in our group with the following set-up:

• The elog is running on a server, with no back-end access for the users.
• Multiple people will use it, all loging in with the same user-name and password.
• The entries submitted to the log-book can only be edited for 24hours, as defined by the "Restrict edit time= 24" setting in the configuration file.

Now I encountered the following problem in my set-up: Entries that do not have attachments can be changed after these 24hours have passed, by the following set-up: If a user (in the current case me during testing) sets up a local elog on his computer and activates the synchronisation with the elog on the server, he can switch off the time-restriction for editing on his local elog, and if he synchronises the two log-books, the changed entry from the local elog will overwrite the original one from the server-elog.

Obviously this is not very desirable. Therefore I wanted to ask, whether anyone sees a possibility to prevent the editing of entries, which are older than the restricted edit time. A specific function or a change in the synchronisation behaviour would of course be the completest solution, but in my case the problem would also be solved if I could just prohibit the synchronisation. It is not needed, so no harm will be done if it is not possible.

I have configured a logbook with the logfile on, but when a user replies to an entry the line logged goes

Date Time [User@IP] {Logbook} NEW entry #0

How can I make the #0 be the real entry number for the reply?

It looks like you've found a bug in ELOG. I've checked my elog.log and see that all NEW entry lines show "#0".

As a regular elog (ab)user, I have seen this behaviour from time to time.  So far as I recall, the cause actually is that a normal entry is looking for the entry in the "Reply to" field of the normal entry in the yymmdda.log file.  When that entry does not exist, then I see a duplicate line of an entry with entry "#0", in emboldened black type.  I did have a screenshot, but cannot find it for now. 

A quick (relative term, that) search usually finds the entry which references the missing "Reply to" line, and editing that, all is well.  I'm not sure how this can happen, but it does.  NB, I'm still on elog 2.9.2 so I don't know how the draft facility works and possibly enhances the possibility of this issue.

Note that this is different to the case (rather more frequent) where the entry in  the "In reply to" field is missing.  This causes elog to go into a continuous loop and only the strongest measures  ("kill -9 xxxx in linux) will break this out.  This can happen more frequently as if you delete a thread with a large number (>40?) of entries, elog crashes, but more importantly, hasn't finished the job.  Clicking on the remenents of the thread (which are usually the later entries) causes the endless loop.

Hi,

We've made changes in our network and now we have to use port 587 instead of port 25, how can i edit that parameter?

Thanks
