When will the new source be in the standard download area ? I'm on ubuntu .

Thanks Stefen!

I built from source (ELOG V3.1.5-3a5f2f00) and I confirmed as fixed.

Alternatively, you can compile from sources. Give it a try.

So this never made it into the download area ?  elog-latest.tar is elog-3.1.5-1 and contains no files from 2024 or 2025 .

Thanks

Hi all,

I have the same problem on Ubuntu 22.04. I have compiled from the latest tarball and copied all our logbooks from our old Ubuntu 18.04 server to a new Ubuntu 22.04. The logbooks does however not appear when I log in, so I assume ELOG doesn't have read access either?
Any hints on how to set the permissions correctly would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,
Mikkel

Hello,

I have just installed elog onto an ubuntu focal server using <sudo make install> and I am unable to create new entries.

When I access the log via a windows PC connected to the local network, I can see the demo logbook with the 1 test post, but I cannot create or edit anything.

Attempting to post throws the error:

New entry cannot be written to directory "/usr/local/elog/logbooks/demo/"

Please check that it exists and elogd has write access and disk is not full.

 

 

Please point me in the right direction to correctly set permissions and create aditional log books.

 

Thanks,

Dan

I have my site running under apache. I don't have a /elog/ directory.

for example most would do http://www.example.com/elog/ to visit elog

but my site loads at http://www.example.com/

The site is private so it's password protected. Everything works fine except

if I click the "Forgot Password" link it does nothing.

but if I go to one of the log books...

http://www.example.com/open/

The forgot password link works.

Is there anyway to fix this? I have nothing else running on the server, it's dedicated to only ELOG.

That's why I don't want to have it running under /elog/ in the url.

 

Thanks for reporting this bug, I fixed it in revision 2197 which you can load from the SVN server.

Thanks for the fix. I tried out 2197 and when I click the "Forgot Password" link it causes elog to crash. I've attached my cfg file.

The problem was the password recovery in conjunction with "Bottom text", thanks for supplying your configuration file. I fixed that in revision 2198.

 That did the trick, thanks for the fix!

That's strange. Normal pages are set to "pre-expire" (expiration date 1983...) which forces the browser to always load them from the server. This is necessary since someone else could have modified that page and you would look at an old page in your browser's cache. But using this, I never saw a "page expired" message. The browser simply reloads the page. Maybe if the internet connection got lost in between and the browser cannot load the page from the server, you have a problem. Attached pictures have a expiration date of +1 day. So even if you span different time zones, that should be fine. Can they try to access https://midas.psi.ch/elogs/Linux+Demo/14 and see if they get the same problem there? This is my demo setup and resides in Switzerland.

The only way to get two entries is if you submit your entries twice. The same problem exists on some credit card payment sites, which explicitly state "please be patient, don't press submit twice, don't press back". The same applies for elog.

Last issue, is there a way to make thumbnail images open in a new window by default rather then the same window? This would help fix the first issue at least. Is there some setting to fix the page expiration/time-out issues?

No, this is not implemented right now. But if nothing else helps, I can add a new option.

 Stefan,

Thanks for writing back so fast. I'll have the folks in India check that link and see if the problem exists there.
I couldn't duplicate the problem here on my end. I'm beginning to think that it's a connection problem. They
tell me that the elog site (our site) is slow for them. It's only capable of 118kb/sec which, coupled with
the distance from USA to India might make things slow. In the USA I found the site to be usable and not that
slow. I'll let you know what they say about the test link.
