in Unix:
i fixed the problem by defining a password file entry like 'user1::::'. 
then i defined 'admin user = user1' in elogd.cfg.
then i connected with login name 'user1' and created new user (as admin).

in Windows2000:
if i do this steps and i save the new user, it fails. the server service 
crash down.

It is posible to use logical search operators like "and" and "or" ?

Which Operators can i use how do i so ?


Thank you for your anwser.

 In the password file, I see several same username, such as:

<user>

    <name>test</name>

    <password encoding="SHA256">iXhH.</password>

    <full_name>test me</full_name>

    <last_logout>Tue Apr 14 14:12:44 2009</last_logout>

    <last_activity>Wed May 19 09:39:32 2010</last_activity>

    <email>maqm@ihep.ac.cn</email>

    <email_notify/>

  </user> 

<user>

    <name>test</name>

    <password encoding="SHA256">iXhH.</password>

    <full_name>test me</full_name>

   <last_logout>0</last_logout>

    <last_activity>0</last_activity>

      <inactive>0</inactive>

    <email>maqm@ihep.ac.cn</email>

    <email_notify/>

  </user> 

<user>

    <name>test</name>

    <password encoding="SHA256">iXhH.</password>

    <full_name>test me</full_name>

    <last_logout>0</last_logout>

    <last_activity>0</last_activity>

      <inactive>0</inactive>

    <email>maqm@ihep.ac.cn</email>

       <email_notify/>

  </user> 

I don't know the reason why eLog can have the same username.

And what should I do to prevent these things happen?

Thanks!

Thanks a lot Stefan,

I asked if it is possible, in general, to create a connection and automatically fill in the tables of a report, or export the data into excell tables to then be connected to the report, having in our case about 24 process tables to be filled in with data or validation, for each report. If the compilation is not automatic, after having compiled the elog in each phase of the processing, the manifacturing report will then have to be compiled manually.

We use elog, having already used it in MEG We must then compulsorily also make manufacturing  and test reports. The expected space-type documentation format for these documents is in word.

Below is a small example of a test table, with just a few steps.

Thanks again

A problem recently developed for our elog...after running without much problem the elog daemon was restarted on an ubuntu server running apache2. Now the server gives 502 Proxy Error messages:

Proxy Error

The proxy server received an invalid response from an upstream server.
The proxy server could not handle the request GET /elog.

Reason: Error reading from remote server

I did a force-reload of apache after making sure the modules are enabled. I also restarted elogd but to no avail. One symptom seems to be that the GET request is empty...that is before it was:

"GET /elog/sample_elog/etcetera HTTP/1.1"

but now it is just

"GET /elog HTTP/1.1"

Just started out of the blue...

Any ideas?

Hi,

the use of extendable options in the global section seem to "crash" elogd 
when creating a new entry.
My elogd.cfg is included
the problem attribute is "Client"
Should it be possible to have it extendable only in one specific logbook ?

Are extendable and conditionnal "compatible" on the same set of attributes ?

Cheers,
Marc

Hi Stefan,

Many thanks, it works. I'm impressed by your reactivity ! thanks again.

Is it possible to have a conditionnal attribute depend on an extendanble one ?

The snapshot version you sent me seems to be locked onto port 80 and does not honor 
the port directive in elog.cfg....
