Hi All,

I got into trouble setting up the automated email notification.

elog.cfg:

;Send automatic email notifications
SMTP host = mail.ihep.ac.cn
;SMTP host = 127.0.0.1

;Some SMTP server require username/passowrd authentication
;elogd -t <your password> for creating SMTP password
SMTP username = wux@ihep.ac.cn

SMTP Password = .JYEytMGvsHANeCIfQJXmscIt4NOtzJ8GbAnh3XH280
;SMTP Password = V3gxMzYxODAxMjAxNA==
;No Email notification
Suppress Email to users = 1

elogd -v:

GET /LEBT/?cmd=Forgot&login_name=wux HTTP/1.1
timezone: -28800, offset: 28800

Email from <wux@ihep.ac.cn> to wux@ihep.ac.cn, SMTP host mail.ihep.ac.cn:

Hi,

I'm having an issue with Elog 3.1.1 on windows 10 not displaying all log entries (after a certain date) in a logbook directory.

The logbook is saved in a Dropbox folder and the entries were created on a windows 8.1 PC with 3.1.1 also.

I created an entry in windows 10, this created a new log file (new day) with a duplicate ID, deleted the log file and then the windows 10 pc displayed all entries.

Is there any way to ensure Elogd picks up all log files ?

Thanks & Regards,

Mike

Besides the commen Andrea made I would like to add that you can convince elog to show all files if you simply restart it, then it will re-scan all files. But as Andreas said, if two elogd instances write to the same directory, you will get a mess with double IDs of entries.

Stefan

Thanks very much for your comments. I will take a look at the mirror server functionality.

I have only been running one elogd at a time, restarting elogd (on Windows 10) doesn't seem to pick up the changes made on Windows 8.1 PC (stopped elogd after changes made and log file updated)

Ah, I see another problem. The pre 3.1 version had all logbook files in one directory, and the 3.1 puts the files in one subdirectoy per year. On transition from 3.0 to 3.1, an automatic conversion is made, but only once. If you later add files into the root logbook directory, they will not be seen. So you have to move them manually into the right subdirectory.

Hi, I have noticed that if an entry is not submitted it is saved in a sub-folder (name is current ID number) eg http://localhost:8090/mike/23, while draft it doesn't appear in list page but you can browse directly to it.

When you update an entry on one server instance, if you then browse to the entry ID on the 2nd server instance it is draft. If you edit then submit the entry then appears in list page on 2nd server instance.

Thanks again.
