That make sense. Is there a way to recovery when hung except restart elogd? On the other hand, whether could  prompt for reloading attachment when interpreter detect error but not hang?

The problem is you have some weird characters in your file name R2BLM15 ? ? ? ? ? .PNG which confuses the interpreter. There should not be any special character or blanks in attached images.

Hi all,

  We came across a problem recently when clicking "Upload" button, then elog hanged and never being accessed. I have checked the elog logs and find that it seems that elog didn't get the path of the picture for some reason. So is it a bug or our operation isn't correct?

 

 

icon5.gif   How to edit Elog landing pages., posted by John on Thu Mar 14 06:38:12 2019 

Hi and thanx for such a wonderful program! I was wondering how I might edit, change or add to the landing pages. In other words the first pages that show up (or any for that matter) when you login to a book. I can view the code ok in my browser using that function, but when I search for the actual page and it's locale, I cannot find it. Is it created on the fly by the server? If so, how can I change them.. as I want to add for instance javascripts to manipulate the pages and data more, without actually loosing the main essence of the program (log books). Thanx

Well I answered part of my own question already.. I can have a start page different from what is default, and I can edit the orginal one by simply copying it and modifiying it to my hearts desire. I still have isues  after making menu selections from that page tho,  when the program (server) takes me to a site called  for example: ../forum/index.html?cmd=Config. I cannot find out how to prevent or modify this behaviour. I am supposing tho, that because I am using my own original index.html (start page), that the program is not modifying it (on the fly), like it does with the oringal web pages?  I am also still currious if the program does indeed create/modify pages on the fly, and if it does, where does it store them on my hard drive (or is it only put in memory temporaly?). Thanx again :)

icon5.gif   Reverse proxy setting of Elog for Apache httpd 2.4 so that changing password windows works ?, posted by Takashi Ichihara on Tue Mar 19 06:13:03 2019 

In CentOS 7.6 + Apache httpd-2.4.6 + ELOG V3.1.4 environment with Reverse Proxy setting of

/etc/httpd/conf/httpd.conf
 :
ProxyRequests Off
RedirectMatch ^/elog$ /elog/
<Location /elog/>
ProxyPass                      http://mmm.riken.jp:3333/ 
ProxyPassReverse         http://mmm.riken.jp:3333/
ProxyPassReverseCookiePath   /      /elog/
</Location>
:
It almost works fine.  But Changing password has problem. 

When clicking the "Forget password?" link in login window and displaying "Entering your user name or email address"
and entering it, an email is sent to the user:

----
This is an automatically generated account recovery email for host mmmm.riken.jp.
Please click on following link to recover your account:

http://mmm.riken.jp/elog/?redir=%3Fcmd%3DChange+password%26oldpwd%3DIHCPHXNTMJGEYDKY&uname=test&upassword=IHCPHXNTMJGEYDKY

ELOG Version 3.1.4
---

Clicking the URL above in the Firefox Browser results invalid URL: 

http://mmm.riken.jp/?cmd=Change%20password&oldpwd=IHCPHXNTMJGEYDKY

These parameters does not pass to the elog by the Reverse Proxy setting above.

 While accessing the URL of (native elog port: 3333)

http://mmm.riken.jp:3333/?cmd=Change%20password&oldpwd=IHCPHXNTMJGEYDKY

displays the normal page for Changing password windows for the user.

Is there any suggestions for the Reverse Proxy setting in Apache httpd 2.4 
so that the changing password windows works fine ?

Thank you for any suggestions.

icon5.gif   HTML editor not working after updating to V3.1.4, posted by Ross Gibson on Tue Mar 19 23:24:48 2019 
Since updating to v3.1.4 the HTML editor has stopped working. If I switch to HTML encoding, the editor appears with a blank field, cannot select or type in field and none of the buttons work.
I have tried reverting to earlier versions, but the issue persists. Any suggestions to rectify?

Have you cleared your browser cache? There might be some old JavaScript stored there. If that does not help, remove elog and reinstall it to make sure to have the correct libraries on the server (first back up you logbooks, then restore them afterwards).

Thanks Stefan. Tried these without success. I tried opening in another browser and it works fine in Firefox or Internet Explorer - the problem only appears in Microsoft Edge. Perhaps its an issue with a Microsoft update (corporate rollout) to Edge and just a coincidence that I noticed it after updating Elog.

icon5.gif   elog.css and lock.png fail to load with top groups, posted by Ben Loer on Thu Mar 21 16:14:00 2019 elog1.png

As the title says, we have our elog running behind an Apache proxy that is also providing authentication. We also have top groups enabled.  The first time a user views a top group page with a fresh browser cache, the index is delivered, but requests for elog.css and lock.png are returned with http 302 with location set to the elog root.  (I.e., if the server is proxied under server.example.com/logs,  the first request for server.example.com/logs/TopGroup1/elog.css returns a 302 with location set to server.example.com/logs// ). 

Any subsequent visits return the files fine. The attached screenshot shows the network requests in chrome. 

Is this a proxy configuration issue, something we've set wrong in elog, ??
