Indeed, uploading images over a satellite connection does not crash the development ELOG server available from SVN.  Our user was unable to 
crash 
elogd (or upload an image) and reports "The upload window would complain about an "upstream server", but the site was still there."

Thank you very much for your time and help (with both of the issues reported in this thread).

Sincerely,
Devin

Hello,

I just mirrored a logbook and noticed attachments are missed.

On another similar note, when an email notification is sent and the post has attachment, the attachment show up in the email BUT there is nothing in them.

Anything special I should know about those attachments ?

Thank you,

F.Sabatié

Hi

Tested this using the 2.6.1 version which comes packed with ubuntu-dapper and a 2.7.5 version I've compiled from source.

If I compile the 2.7.5 version from source and start it using

sudo /usr/local/sbin/elogd -c /usr/local/elog/elogd.cfg

config snippets below

---------------------------------

/usr/local/elog/elogd.cfg:

[global]
port = 8080
;url = http://solsikker.dmi.dk/elog/

[demo]
Theme = default
Comment = General linux tips & tricks
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Options Type = Routine, Software Installation, Problem Fixed, Configuration, Other
Options Category = General, Hardware, Software, Network, Other
Extendable Options = Category
Required Attributes = Author, Type
Page Title = ELOG - $subject
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Type
------------------------------------

The icons show up !!

If I go through an apache proxy (config snippets below)

----------------------------------------

/usr/local/elog/elogd.cfg:

[global]
port = 8080
url = http://solsikker.dmi.dk/elog/

[demo]
Theme = default
Comment = General linux tips & tricks
Attributes = Author, Type, Category, Subject
Options Type = Routine, Software Installation, Problem Fixed, Configuration, Other
Options Category = General, Hardware, Software, Network, Other
Extendable Options = Category
Required Attributes = Author, Type
Page Title = ELOG - $subject
Reverse sort = 1
Quick filter = Date, Type

From apache conf

ProxyPass /elog/ http://solsikker.dmi.dk:8080/
ProxyPassReverse /elog/ http://solsikker.dmi.dk:8080/
<Proxy *>
        Order deny,allow
        allow from all
</Proxy>
-------------------------------------

The icons are missing !!!

The icons a showing up when using apache and the 2.6.1 elog version.

Best Regards

When I try to set

Protect Selection page = 1

in the config file elog crashes. Attached is my config file.

elog 2.7.5 built Apr  8 2009, 16:52:07 revision 130

Actually your combination of "bottom text" with "protect selection page" caused the trouble. If fixed the bug in revision 2189.

Initially I thought you had to specify a port number after localhost for emailing.

As it turns out just putting "localhost" as the email server in the elog config

file works just fine. We have a strange problem where our elog server is running.

our outgoing mail has to be routed through port 465 and SSL. I had to set up

postfix and stunnel to handle this arrangement.

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.

 What was your problem (maybe others could benefit from this information...) ???
