I have a possible explanation for this problem, but it is just guess work. If I'm right, then just download the latest ELOG version and it will work properly again.

• You've downloaded an elog version from git, which still contained the line 12 in elogd.c: char svn_revision[] = "$Id$";
• Since you did checkout from git, the $Id$ was not substituted.  
• ELOG trys to extract the version by this:      rsprintf
            ("<center><a class=\"bottomlink\" title=\"%s\" href=\"https://midas.psi.ch/elog/\">ELOG V%s-%d</a></center>",
             loc("Goto ELOG home page"), VERSION, atoi(svn_revision + 13));
• svn_revision + 13 is pointing into the void. Still I would have expected that you get a number as a result.

My advice: download again and retry.
 

 I have downloaded a latest version.  It has displayed the new version as ELOG V2.9.2-bac715d where seems defined in GIT_REVISION as I guess.  Then I set Bottom Text Login to a html file, it still shows those unwanted characters.

Okay, why don't you just remove the unwanted characters from the html file? Because the attached file contains exactly those characters.

Hello there,

Can anyone point out to me how I can avoid the unsafe browsing when accessing our local ELOG?  
Browsing with chrome and always getting the unsafe browsing page. One has to go through the advanced
button to continue ...

I once had my setup with SSL certificate (local signed, not through the CA) but I somehow cannot get it
to work anymore.   Just create a local certificate and copy the certificates to all browsers that access the ELOG site, no?

Anyway, a small guide would be great.

Hello,

I just made an update from version V2.7.0-1964 to V2.7.0-1985 and I am receiving now the error message Unknown toolbar item 'ShowBlocks' whenever creating or editing an entry.  When clicking onto Ok, everything seems to work fine. Can you help please? Error message occurs in Internet Explorer and also in Firefox.

Addition: The Show Blocks Symbol is missing

Thanks!
